Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel! Microbrewery Feature

So last night I had two bottles out of four Corne du Diable explode on opening and reveal themselves as contaminated. That just adds to the sting of paying $3.25 for a decent IPA.

I have never, ever, experienced a quality control problem from these guys before. I hope it's not the start of something.

So what happened? You just opened them and they started to overflow or did they gush out like a pop bottle? I've had some champagne corks fly off pretty good but never beer. Salad dressing once, took the top off brand new bottle put in on the table and it erupted like a volcano, but I digress.

Oh good, something else to worry about.

Yes, best described as a volcano with a slight vinegar smell and sour cherry flavour. Just what happens when good beer goes bad.

Well, as another post here put it, I'll take the risk with a good natural beer over a factory stabilized one any day.

An Ontario beer I tried fouled like that, it was a LOT like like a Flemish sour. Namely the Old Credit Amber Ale from the (ha ha ha) OCB Discovery Pack #4. I heard other people say their Amber from the #4 pack had gone bad (it's been fine in the bombers.)

I've had trouble with the OC bombers before, I stopped purchasing them unless they were in the cooler, and even then I had one go off on me.

has the Aphrodite been released yet?
looking like Queen's Quay has most of em, would it be worth the trip or is it likely the lc site is inaccurate?
maybe i'll wait till the peche hits shelves.

[Lukie]

Any idea when the next wave of DDC beers will be released? I'm especially looking forward to the Rigor Mortis Quad which was supposed to be available yesterday, no? And what happened with Aphrodite?

Aphrodite is now listed, but no stock showing yet:

I thought these products were supposed to be at 25 stores, but only about 10 stores got stock.

Lets hops that more than just these 10 stores get stock...

Finally some of this shows up at the Aurora St Johns LCBO.

[heebes]

what a great feature! was very stoked to find all these and finally dig in besides the rosee d'hibcius.
i'll be taking another tour to a finer lcbo whenever the peche, rigor and winter brews arrive!

[Wheatsheaf]

I think a good aptitude test for LCBO employees would be to stand them at the cash register, put down a bunch of mixed DdC beers, and see how many of them can figure out that they're different beers with different prices.

If it happened once, I wouldn't give it a second thought, but I've been mischarged probably four times now. Inevitably, the clerk scans the first bottle, counts the rest, and rings them through as whatever the first one was. Usually it comes out in my favour, so I'm hardly going to say that they've undercharged me, but it must be buggering up the inventory numbers.

Some friends gave me one each of six DDC beers at my B-Day party.

At last, somebody gets it - I like beer!
