It will arrive. The issue last time was that the Brooklyn 750ml bottles are heavy and the 12 pack was over the LCBO weight limit for cases by a few ounces. They are being repacked into 8 's in order to be compliant this time.

guy at the lcbo today was telling me that Nicklebrook Naughty Neighbour was going to be available in 6 pack 355ml cans soon. Not sure if there's any truth to this though..

That would be very odd considering that all of the other NB canned beers are in 473 ml singles.

Which is a format I'd LOVE to see NN available in, so fingers crossed that LCBO guy got his info mixed up...

Man, I soooo hope this is true. Either can size. And they could use this prime opportunity to shift this brand over to their new graphics and a markedly less tacky logo. Please.

Another batch of R&R is also on the way according to that update, I believe the Saint of Circumstance is a Belgian Blonde

I had it on tap at Bar Hop awhile ago. I don't remember it having any Belgian qualities. It was a light blonde ale, with citrus fruit additions (don't recall the particular fruits, if I could even tell at the time). I found it to be very refreshing and fairly tasty, but certainly not as good as R&R. You could easily down a few on a summer day, however.

It was on tap at The Only beerfest over the weekend. I liked it, but it's nothing like R&R. Very citrusy, due to the citrus zest in it. Think hot weather patio session ale.

Good point, nothing about it tasted particularly Belgian to me. I think the fruits were oranges and lemons (maybe limes), but my palate was pretty wrecked by then so I can't be sure.

I bought some R&R bottled on feb 6th at the lcbo the other day. And the bottle dates were actually legible for a change
