Any word on the xmas packs and singles.....if my memory is right, its usually around this time when the info comes available. Hoping this year is less focused than last year as far as the keiths,rickards etc packs.

Not that it'll help us Ontarians, but the advent calendar from Parallel 49 and Central City is being released tomorrow in BC and Alberta:

Other than that the only other one I've heard of so far is the one by Double Trouble which is really just a 6 pack of their 3 beers. It's 50¢ less than if you were to buy the beers individually:

Only 3 new things? That's really...crappy. And no Cuvee Van de Keizer either...

this might not be the final list, and the Cuvee Van de Keizer was listed in another sub section, so it might still be coming

I just picked one up. There are only 2 new brews (collaborations), but there's probably a couple I haven't tried, and certainly some good one's I haven't had in a while.

The Phillips Snowcase is already out and we're getting the craft beer advent again as well:
http://www.bartowel.com/beer-advent-calendars/

I do miss some of those LCBO releases though.

We eat the same stinkin meal every year. We put up the same decorations every year. We sing the same damn songs every year. Why not drink the same beer every year?

sofakingdrunk · Post by **sofakingdrunk** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 12:28 pm

^^^^^haha true enough. It's a little sad that there's not much new stuff, but at least the new one's will all be homeruns. Also, good sessionable beer(essential around the holidays) and happy to see the Fullers vintage back this year. I'll be looking to stock up on St Berny stuff,Fullers,Sam smith winter,St peters winter and probably just leave the rest......may splurge on a bottle of the Bon Voeux, since i've never had it.

Watou Tripel
