looking forward to these

Following in November will be Grande Noirceur, a 9% abv Imperial Stout debuted on draught in 2004. This will be part of Dieu du Ciel!’s new “Momentum” series of limited edition bottled beers, and will be available at retail outlets in Quebec while supplies last'

If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!
Thanks for the credit, the goal is to get the news out there, but always feels better when mentionning the source 
I REALLY cant wait for the imperial stout. Had it at Mondial in 2011, and it was by best-of-show.

it's an excellent publication BTW Ian. I thoroughly enjoyed reading thru the latest edition while sitting at the bar at Benelux last Sunday sipping their Armada and Grisette.iguenard wrote:Thanks for the credit, the goal is to get the news out there, but always feels better when mentionning the source

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.

I don't want this to come off as slagging anyone, but I find the overall quality of the writing of BetP much higher than TAPS. Be nice if it wasn't so PQ focused, but obviously I understand why.dale cannon wrote:it's an excellent publication BTW Ian.

I sometimes make a trip out to Brouehaha or BdT with the intention mostly of trying to scam my free BetP (picking up some tasty brews isn't the worst thing either!).
Anyway, all that to say, "job well done, Ian and compagnie."
