My joke wasn't even meant to be that sophisticated. As the crow files, Cooperstown is close, but my lord what a painful place to get to. As if they put the Hockey Hall of Fame in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia or something!Belgian wrote: Geographical shipping distance does not always correlate to bottom-line costs, though does it.

Interesting - based on the description on the Premium Beer Company website, this appears to be a rebranding of Happy Hour Pale Ale. Which is a pretty nice beer, actually.spinrsx wrote:Hop City 'Big Mouth Pale Ale' no showing stock at the lcbo

Hop City Brewery brings you a medium bodied ale with a rich golden colour. Its unique blend of US Cascade hops and UK Kent Golding hops brings out a flowery, citrus aroma and pleasant hop bitterness. Caramel malts balance this brew's bitterness, making for a refreshing, well-balanced ale. Somewhere it's Happy Hour!
UPDATE: Yup, suspicion confirmed. From the Hop City website:
http://www.hopcity.com/happy-hour-big-mouth/
A beer with two names? Complicated, we know. Sometimes certain names aren’t technically allowed in some places so we’ve had to make some changes. Only to the name though. Sometimes it’s Happy Hour, other times it’s Big Mouth. Happy Hour because this beer is what every Happy Hour should taste like – balanced and refreshing. And Big Mouth because this is our most bitter beer at 48 BU’s. Two different names, same great tasting Pale Ale!

As most of you are aware, Samichlaus (LCBO 97469 | 330 mL bottle | $3.95) is currently available in some 75 stores across Ontario. Please support this product in order to ensure its continuous presence on shelves despite repeated complaints to the AGCO (over its name/label) by another agency.
Thanks so much!

birthday cake vodka's my go-to alcohol when i'm watching YTV and chillin' in my rec room with my friends.
regardless, that Sammiclaus label is evil because it is all about inducing kids to drink. it is evident. just as evident as Christmas gift packs are inducing kids to drink because kids love Christmas and kids love gifts.
