LCBO Holiday Gifts 2014
LCBO Holiday Gifts 2014
Any word on gift packs? Hope its not a repeat of last year's, without any glassware.
found a few of the gift items - a lot of the same beers/packs as last year. But a few new things:
decent price on the bernardus mixed pack - it's $25+ in the states:
St Bernardus Mixed Pack** 385476 1980 18.95
St Bernardus Christmas Ale** 385435 750 9.55
Unibroue Sommelier Pack** 385625 2046 12.95
Railway City Brewing Co - Holiday Gift Pack** 385518 1419 13.65
Double Trouble-Delicious Loot 6pk** 385484 2838 16.50
also, why such a large bottle.. sigh:
Bons Voeux** 385575 1500 $25.00
and this:
Marston's Classic Ales** 385666 3000 18.95
which is this I think:
and this is back at $1 more:
Cuvee Van De Keizer Blauw 288696 750 8.90
last but not least!:
Coors Banquet Holiday Gift Pack** 385617 1419 10.95

It's called 'Table Presence.' It means 'We here at the LCBO believe that beer, like wine can be pretentious...'Ceecee wrote:Oh, FFS! I would have bought a ton of 330s even half a dozen 750s but this?spinrsx wrote:also, why such a large bottle.. sigh:

Abbey Tripel 9.5%
"Bons Vœux (Good Wishes) is a blond high fermentation beer , re-fermented in the bottle.... The true fermentation in the bottle , which can be extended very long in your cellar, resulting in a balanced and harmonious beer, surprising and complex aromas "
- well it's a terrible plan to open it for one or two people, but the price is awfully reasonable.

Did the St. Bernies come with a chalice? I cannot find any of these on the crummy BO site.biegaman wrote:Gift packs hit shelves this week. I saw...

No, St B mix pack is sans glassware. Apparently the gift packs won't be on the website for another week. So it's a crapshoot on which stores have whatever at this point.Lukie wrote:Did the St. Bernies come with a chalice?

Anyone in the Guelph to London corridor that's seen the Bons Voeux magnum on the shelf, could you let me know what store? Thanks!
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.
