It's out of whack. Most 12oz DDC beers can be had in Montreal/Hull for under $3 a bottle, sixers of their more established beers like CDD and PM are around $12-14 a six.

Grand River Plowman's Ale. One of my absloute favorites. I am so lucky to be only a five minute drive from the brewery!

Keiths White followed by an Unibroue TP. I was looking forward to my first Russian Gun tonight but didnt get a chance because of the Ontario Brewing Awards.

I'm actually sort of glad that it isn't. At that price it could do some damage to the bank account!

Little Scrapper IPA from Half Pints, Winnipeg.

My wife brought this back from the 'Peg this past weekend. Not bad but I'm getting more malt than bitterness for an IPA. The bottle says 50 IBU but their not prominent.
The Stir Stick Stout was much more satisfying; no light breaking through, roasty, with slight coffee notes and a hint of chocolate.

Propeller London Porter and ESB. Both very smooth, well made.

Last night I had a Brutal Bitter with spicy baked beans & nachos, I thought it'd be a good pairing, but it was so-so.

Tonight I had left-over beans & ham, with the Amsterdam Spring Bock. Now that was an unexpectedly good pairing!

I was so close to having my last one tonight.

But I grabbed the McEwan's Scotch Ale instead.

I think I made a big mistake; McEwan's Scotch Ale burns going down.

I'm not supposed to drink - need the full immune system when sick. A bit of Perez Cruz Chilean Cab with dinner though. Kind of a rip-off for fifteen bucks, but in General List, buying any wine you hope to enjoy is a bit like playing the lottery.

I am getting very thirsty for some Hacker-Pschorr Edelhell and Weisse, now fresh at TBS (aka The Bottle Swap.) Six more days of Amoxicillin...

Not that it really matters, but the Perez Cruz is vintages list.....and its also one of my favourite cabs too, hehehe.
