The Citrouille is one of the most refreshing and tasty beers I have ever had. So good.

I would totally get a 24 of this if I could.


Agreed!! It went so well with Thanksgiving Feast #1 last night. It will continue tonight when we have my Parents over as well. Such a shame that this is only available for a limited time!

That's because it's an A-rated stout on Beer Advocate, and one of the most anticipated beers of the Autumn Ales release. This gem, however, is widely available in 'BOs throughout the province! :wink:

It's all good. I've got plenty of other beer to drink, and I have patience. Ohh wait........I can't really drink any beer right now...........

Ohh hey its all good man. Only about a month and a bit to go.

All I am getting at is that it will arrive eventually and we've got plenty of other beer to drink in the meantime.

Cass, you will be happy to know that Hamilton has done their part and Garrisons is sold out, hopefully only temporarily.

Great! There is still stock in the warehouse so they can get more (maybe ask?)

If you consider many of those purchasers may have never heard of ST Choklat, that is impressively swift sales for a ten-dollar beer.

But will the LC notice, and what will they do, if they notice?

Inventory in Sudbury shows 429 bottles, must be a big ST area, nice for them since they may not get the chances we get!

Sudbury used to get a good amount of the seasonal's but the past year and a half have been horrible. I've been ordering everything by the case (and that's fine by me!). Nice to see us getting some Choklat. The Buhda probably has a few case from that out of that huge number of Choklat. I already got my case a couple weeks ago.

Now that I think of it 429 is way to much ST for Sudbury, probably a mistake in the system.
