Had a chance to get some rare beer (I think). Here is my holiday haul.

Cantillon Cuvee St Gilloise Beer
Ooude Gueuze Tilquin A L'Ancienne
3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze
De Ranke Kriek
De Ranke Cuvee de Ranke

Any feedback on them?
Any other holiday beer hauls?

Sounds like my fridge a few weeks ago. Assume you were in Alberta?
My cellar is doing well on the other types of beer I enjoy. But I'm more recently in to sour/tart beers and lambics and so the hunt is one for what I can find and try.
1/4bbl keg of Founders Breakfast Stout
Stone 12.12.12
Stone Ruination
Sierra Nevada/Russian River Brux
Stone IRS 2012
Sam Adams New World Tripel
Cigar City Maduro Brown Ale

Heady Topper?
I have never had Heady Topper, although Hill Farmstead Double Galaxy is available from the brewery today and that stuff is awesome. Cass if you are still there you might want to consider doubling the number of beers in your haul and bringing back some of that.
Was able to snag three cases of HT as we have a car heading back to TO. Cool little spot, really neat to see a place in the middle of nowhere get a steady stream of people coming to get their beer whenever it's ready.
So many good things down here, been trying to stick to the locals as much as possible. All the good beer places have embraced Hill Farmstead, Lawson's and the rest - all readily available. Lots of other international & U.S. beers but see those in other spots around the country. It's the VT stuff that's really worth it to drink here, IMO.
