Also - these threads contain good info but it's very scattered. Things are actually hard to go back and find!

Would it be helpful to keep an up-to-date BEER WATCHLIST that concisely shows what critial beer release events are taking place in the next ten days or so? How might this be implemented?

(I guess any one of us could start a thread, and the lead post could be continually revised. A bit hack.)

It would be as useful as the ratebeer local top 50, but in other terms.

I went to Cooper St last night to get some Yellow Snow, thinking that maybe it would be in the back and show up on the website later. But no, according to the employee there are no plans for it to come to Cooper St. and is only expected to land at Summerhill. Bummer.

Never thought I'd have a second chance at it in this province. Glad to be wrong.
I managed to purchase a 4-pack of this in Michigan while on holidays. Certainly gives the likes of Innis & Gunn a run etc. Very nice taste to it..

Yow, that's a 50% increase in cost from the last time. :o Still a safe deal in my opinion.

This Q is bugging me also, there are like 15 versions with hundreds of ratings so it's not clear. Is it the 11? I enjoyed the 13 "Mitzvah" version very much.

I'd imagine it would be the 15, which is currently in Alberta, in 650ml format.

Folks - I was at the new LCBO store opening today in Mississauga - Dundas & Dixie - and they already have a bunch of the holiday gifts out for purchase. I remember the following:

Wychwood Collection
Historic Ales of Scotland
2 Belgian collections
Samuel Smith Gift Set
Innis & Gunn Gift Set
Samuel Smith Winter Welcome
St. Peter's Winter Ale
St. Peter's Golden Ale in a mini-keg format (5L).

There will be a new store opening up tomorrow in Markham. Likely will have some out on display there too.
