I would also like to know what to expect for gift packs this season.

We've ordered ours. I don't recal exactlyl what is in the flyer, but there seemed to be more good beer packs than in previous years.

Doing a search for gift packs on the lcbo website, and ignoring the listings that have never been removed from previous releases, there appears to be: Baltika (3x500 mL); Duvel (750 mL); Hoegaarden (4x330 mL); Leffe (4x330 mL) and St. Peter's V2 (2x500 mL).

A number of the remaining fall and halloween release are now showing.

Fingers crossed that Okocim Porter makes a return in the not too distant future..

For the curious - this pack includes a glass as well as bottles of I&G Original, Rum Cask, and IPA.

The latter is different from the IPA we had here in single bottles a couple of years ago - it's stronger (7.7% vs 6.4%) and reportedly hoppier.

I'd like to try the IPA, so I'll probably buy this at least once. When is this expected to make it to shelves?

I'll definately be grabbing the Innis & Gunn set if it comes with the rum cask. That stuff was delicious.

That's $15 for a glass and the new IPA..do I see a broken up gift pack?

Right, because buying any beer that you've tried before is just a waste of money...

Well, it is Innis & Gunn we're talking about here

......

Frankly I'm not interested in the pack at all, new hoppier IPA or not. I don't plan on buying it, as I really don't like their stuff and would much rather spend my money on other products. But that's just me.

In my cellar are bottles worth cellaring.

Does anyone know who the agent is for Fuller's? I'm down to a few bottles of 1845 and dissapointed its not here this year.
