Do you guys have a new Stone distributor yet? Last two times I was there (April and January) I was informed there still wasn't a new Stone distributor.

Any chance on putting a "Last Updated" date on the online beer list? And updating it more often :) I'm sure someone would volunteer to post it for you. Heck, I'll do it for some free cheese with purchase! hehe

I would assume so...it's the same beer we had in here when we previously got Shipyard in regularly 3-4 years ago....
we also just got in Smuttynose Saison today

Ahhh! Dude, I'm there Thursday July 6 without fail - I'd love two bottles of each, any chance you could stash them away for me?

"Is the IPA that which used to be called Fuggles"
Yes, I have a t-shirt from Shipyard that confirms it is an all Fuggles IPA...as does their website come to think of it: http://www.shipyard.com/taste/

I'm new to the forum and made my first trip out to Premier Gourmet yesterday...didn't go crazy with purchases though, however I'm anticipating those trips in the future. Came back with:

DFH 90 Min. IPA
DFH Raison d'Etre
DFH Chicory Stout
Middle Ages Wailing Wench
Rodenbach Grand Cru
Duchesse de Bourgogne
Unibroue Chambly Noire
Stoudts Triple
Monty Python Holy Ale
Cooperstown Old Slugger
Belhaven St. Andrews Ale

Pretty standard stuff for the most part, I know, but I'm fairly new to the world of craft beer and styles like Flemish sour ale, and of course living in Ontario these things can be a slow discovery. Regarding customs - they pulled me over, searched the car and me, but didn't charge me duty. Go figure. I also brought back a bottle of Macallan 12 yr. which was a shocking $43 at Premier Liquor next door - that's pretty much half of what the LCBO charges!

Lucky thing they did not charge you duty, as the duty on the Mac12 would of been about $40. My last trip, they charged me duty and 3 customs officers searched my vehicle very thoroughly, haven't been in the mood to go back since.

It's funny how everyone seems to pick up a bottle of the Middle Ages Wailing Wench their first time at Premier.... I wonder why that could be ?

On a completely unrelated note, I usually keep my bottle next to me when I sleep, and not in the cellar with the rest of them ...

they missed that one-that's what they pull over people for. you must instead have been the random number they must pull over a day
