I know that the first three pages of posts after the details are announced are going to be people complaining how underwhelming it is.
Orval
Christoffel Blonde
Les Trois Mousquetaires S.S. Maibock
Samuel Adams Noble Pils
Gouden Carolus Hopsinjoor
^ this ^ list of former spring release beers would be ok with me

"Oh great, that Belgian import that I look forward to every year costs 2x as much now because of the terrible exchange rate"
"Oh boy, yet another 12 dollar Lake of Bays/Beau's bomber that I can look forward to not buying"
etc.
Just getting it out of my system ahead of time.
Also: you know that one import on the list that everyone is excited about? It won't be here until late August.
I would assume it includes at least some of these previously announced beers:
Lagunitas Maximus 6-Pk
De Leite Cuvee Mamzelle
Cheval Blanc Double Blanche
Central City Red Racer Imperial IPA
Brasserie Les 2 Frères-Hickson IPA
and I'll bet the Fat Tug IPA that is at the lcbo now is part of it too

That reminds me, where the heck is the Lindemans Cuvee Rene?darmokandjalad wrote:"I sure do love me some LCBO warehouse-cellared IPAs from California"Craig wrote:I know that the first three pages of posts after the details are announced are going to be people complaining how underwhelming it is.

I dont think the cuvee rene was ever coming back. It reappeared in the lcbo database because someone returned 2 bottles a few months ago.
But I could be wrong.

I recall reading a while ago in the "Coming Soon to the LCBO" thread that St. Feuillien Tripel was supposed to be coming. Any idea on whether or not it will be included in the spring release? As recently as a couple years ago, there was a pretty good rotation of Belgian tripels making its way through the L (Affligem, Karmeliet, Gouden Carolus etc.) but not so much any more.

I believe St Feuillien Tripel came and went? There are a few good ones the shelves currently: Chimay White, Westmalle, La Trappe....
I've seen a few different offerings from St Feuillien at the LCBO but the tripel hasn't been one. I've seen the Saison and I believe a blond maybe. I acquired a bottle of tripel from the US a few years and nothing from St Feuillien at the LCBO has looked similar, that is unless the Canadian shipments are in different bottle shapes or designs.Russell v R wrote:I believe St Feuillien Tripel came and went?

You may be thinking of the St. Feuillien Grand Cru, which is tripel-esque in style and was at the L last year as part of one of the seasonal releases - I am glad I grabbed a few of those when I did. The Westmalle stock is waning, though I did pick up a few of those as well. La Trappe was a regular listing for a while and was discontinued. Chimay Wit is probably the only tripel with a regular listing (at least for now...)Russell v R wrote:I believe St Feuillien Tripel came and went?

La Trappe is still a regular listing. they changed bottle designs so they listed it under a new product number.

But the Nickel Brook Kentucky Bastard 750mls are just about worth it. Because that's one (100ml) more, isn't it! Goes up to eleven… and just a very nice beer, all Goosy-ness aside.sprague11 wrote:Somebody had to!darmokandjalad wrote: "Oh boy, yet another 12 dollar Lake of Bays/Beau's bomber that I can look forward to not buying"

Thanks! The 750 mL is an unfortunate format size, but this is still a beer I'll pick up from time to time, especially given my mini-rant about diminishing access to tripels.spinrsx wrote:La Trappe is still a regular listing. they changed bottle designs so they listed it under a new product number.
