It's in the works. I expect that they've got a lot of the old cans and labels to go through first, but the whole NB line-up will be sporting the new style soon enough.

Excellent! Glad to hear it. Any more concrete info on the NN in cans, Greg?

I'm with youn in that I don't like the cirrent graphics for HEadstock and NN, but I have to say that the graphics on the beer that you linked are a step back IMO. Sad to see...

I was in line for 11:30ish and there were 30 people ahead of me.

I was behind somewhere. What a great line! Lot of folks talking about Ontario beer and barrels and brett and other beer-y things. Lines are a cool thing.

Amazing day at Bellwoods. We had a nice table on the patio and I could monitor the line as it wrapped around. Would have been nice to spot Bar Towel folks with some kinda badge or something

Anyway, some great beers pouring today for sure!

I was there too. Nice to get in to try a pint of it too, especially since it's such a unique style. I got a BOYD on tap as well, which was terrific.

I got some more olive (ish) character on it than I remember from my last few times. Almost like a molasses dirty Martini for the first few sips. Not bad, just different than last year. (Tough mercifully warmer than last year on the patio!)

Bring Out Your Dead! *clang* Bring Out Your Dead! "I feel happy!" *whack*

Nice beer! It was my first time having it.

That is a beer that you need to be in a smoking jacket, sitting in a luscious leather chair in front of a fire surrounded by dark woods and mounted animal heads. In addition there needs to be someone in the room named Reginald.

I haven't heard anything definite. Hopefully soon, though - it's a perfect beer for the format.

According to a store front employee there, the ESB is getting canned next followed by NN.

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, they posted pics of the canned ESB on their FB feed a day or two ago. Hope that one makes it the 'BO at some point as well...

I stopped in yesterday to get some Immodest, and they had ESB available in cans.

had a sampler of this at the motley cru release. I remember liking it and will indulge again.

Karma Citra is coming back, in cans.

It will be interesting to get this fresh again, see how it stacks up to all the other IPAs they've done recently.
