Steamworks Flagship IPA is a beer I remember liking a lot. Ayinger is always good. Otherwise, I’ll second the yawn.

Worst release in a while. Good to see the Eggenberg Doppelbock and Ayinger Weizenbock back and fresh La Chouffe is nice, but otherwise very slim pickings. I'm honestly a little bit relieved. I have a pretty healthy inventory of winter beers to drink down.

I'm pumped for Mam'zelle and Frucht. Two high rated sours I haven't tried.

I see 7 reasonably interesting beers I haven't tried before, and 2 others that I'll buy in volume, so overall not a bad release (especially for spring). Lots of new Ontario stuff that may or may not be good. One thing I am wondering is whether fresh Ruination will arrive for this release. The current batch has a BB of February 20.

LCBO are acting weird with the Abe Erb Settle Down Coffee Pale Ale . The main site says there's none ... while the Food & Drink one shows stock at several stores. WTF?!?

Eggenberg Doppelbock Dunkel is on shelves now. It's similar to the SAMICHLAUS, but lighter in ABV & flavor.

Troubadour Magma also now in stock. A pleasant Belgian IPA with dry hopping.
