You're probably right. And despite my concern, it's tasting bright as ever.Derek wrote: I bet those are fresh and it's just that they don't recommend an extremely long shelf life...I think Driftwood's Fat Tug is dated best before 3 or 4 months as well.

It just showed up in London, (well I just got the email from Drinkvine this morning), so it' still shipping.JeffPorter wrote:Still hasn't shown up in Brampton yet, but a couple stores had it last time - so here's hoping...I notice Cooper St. has already almost been cleared out.
But really only 48ish cans in the stores that got it here? Seems small. Is there a way we can find out if the LC is going to regularly get small shipments of this?

The Milton folks will have to head there to get some as I cleared Thompson Road out of 12 cans yesterday. Not my usual M.O. but this stuff is just too damn tasty!zane9 wrote: If you're in the 'burbs west of TO, the Cornwall Rd store in Oakville has a bunch. Picked up some yesterday.

Seriously, though - with 2/3 of a case of RPA, boneshaker, and some Headstock still, I'm kinda overstocked with hoppy beers right now...
