The Nogne beers look pretty interesting though.

I don't disagree with the fact that Shipyard is not "exciting" but I am at least happy with the styles that are being included. In the past, even with the features, we have had a lot of fairly basic styles. In these two features, we are getting two Barley Wines, two DIPAs and an Imperial Porter. That looks great to me. I will buy at least one of each (except for the Pumkin beer - just not my thing).

Nice, I have one bottle of the 100 left from the last private order. Good to see some new ones.

Yeah, very true...also, I don't like the fact that I judged before I tasted. So we'll see. I also remember the pumpkin ale being a pretty good deal...

I also don't want to sound all like, "We're getting THIS brewery, but what about THAT brewery."

Having said that, I sense (hope?) there's going to be a Thornbridge feature at some point!

It is awesome that we will get to try reasonably-priced Nøgne Ø products in Ontario, maybe even at prices we can buy lots!! That Imperial Stout kicks ass.

Luv ya, R&R.
