That was a fairly easy one to 'cave' on; several people have commented somewhere in this forum that those four beers were all quite good.JaseWescott wrote:I bought 5 of those Amsterdam mix packs. there were so many left over from the Holiday season. it was cheaper to buy the pack then the beers inside it separately.seangm wrote:For sure.

It was a good mix. I'd never had Starke Pils either and it turned out to be one of the best locally made pilsners I've had in a while, though now I hope it gets a solo listing.S.

Holy shit.....surely that’s a mistake. Reasonable pricing from Beaus
Any announcement on what is in the mix pack?JaseWescott wrote:Beau's Summer Mix Pack 2019 now in cans

Not bad at all. I noticed the Wellington mix pack in cans and the Amsterdam pack were reasonably priced too, maybe higher price points for past packs were leading to slow sales? I wonder if Beau's is hitting this price by putting a core brand or 2 in the pack like Amsterdam and Welly, as opposed to 4 unique beers.sofakingdrunk wrote:JaseWescott wrote:Beau's Summer Mix Pack 2019 now in cans

The Summer Mix Pack will be on shelves April 4th. I would not be surprised if one of the cans is Lug Tread.ry_kinney wrote:Any announcement on what is in the mix pack?JaseWescott wrote:Beau's Summer Mix Pack 2019 now in cans

They have a new can called Good Times Session IPA coming out, I'll assume that is one of them. The only other Beau's cans I am aware of is Altbier, Full Time IPA, Lug Tread (all in current production), and ESB (out of production atm).

Bruery is at the lcbo now? Which agency got us this?
Finally got to these, I liked the Kicking Back and the Rhubarb Saison OK!S. St. Jeb wrote:But the Rhubarb Saison and Raked Over IPA are new to LCBO distribution.JaseWescott wrote:Wellington Mix Pack Volume 6 is now in cans. unfortunately none of the beers in the pack are new.
Disliked the Helles/Dortmunder (how is that even possible?!) - enough to pour it out. And the Raked Over, oh please give me a break.

Having another Apricot, I would say it's definitely improving with cellaring. Acidic profile is strong but a bit finer and lemon-tangy. The aroma of fruit is still great, and there are some minty herbals appearing. I bet over 5-6 years this stuff will get really interesting. I am now tempted to buy a few more!Belgian wrote:For me it is absolutely the Sang du Chene but also the Manhattan is no slouch at all.

Bottle-conditioning ages beers on lees sediment, which adds complexity. Do not drink any of the sediment though.
