Enjoyed Sleepy Time when it first came out and again on tap last week at the Rooster...also enjoyed the Wag although last time I had it on tap was beside fresh Dennison's and that wasn't really a fair comparison (because the Dennison's is soooo tasty!)

Why in the hell would they discontinue Duvel? Perhaps the 750ml is on the way?

Finally got to try The Fire and Blood I brought back from the States. Has a bit of finishing snap to it, from the ancho chiles, so be careful. I had it with a grilled steak and it was excellent, don't know about it as a stand alone.

Both are showing stock now. The Fire and Blood that is showing stock for Summerhill is pretty much gone. Only two left when I was their during lunch.

Not sure why it's at the B stores, and not A stores in York Region but should allow me to get a couple bottles on the way home

BB of 02/19/2016 on the GOT.

Upper James Hamilton had about 4 dozen when I was there.

Stoney Creek showing 132 bottles, lotta fans in Hamilton I guess.

Whelp I suckered myself into buying one of each of the Dragons - No room for any more display bottles - going to have to start just collecting the labels

I was running out of room as well. Now what I do is snap a photo of each interesting beer I have when I pour it. I then use these pics as my screen saver.

Having a hard time committing to the Babes of Thrones series, though I don't mind Ommegang, are these brews worth the pop?

I always enjoy anything from Ommegang.

In the series the GOT #1 Blonde was good as was #2 Take the Black Stout.

#3 The Fire and Blood infused with ancho chiles was a bit different. Not really sure if I would buy more. Although I think you might find it interesting.

I think you might have to leave it a year or so to smooth it out a little, the aftertaste I find a bit harsh.

#4 is to be a dubbel, Valar Morghulis, released this fall:

Must be a lot of GOT fans in Hamilton as the stores have sold tons, Upper James is almost out and a week ago when I was there they had 60.
