Did you cry wolf about a DFH beer recently as well?

No I certainly did not.

Someone else mentioned that DFH 90 was perhaps coming, and I made some calls and found that there may have been some truth to the statement. That's it though. Take er easy there.
I hear that the India Brown Ale or Palo Santo may be on there way in as general list items...90 minute may be seasonal same with Southern Tier 2XIPA

That explains product selection, thanks for the insight. (world's tiniest violin playing.)

Hey fair enough.
I guess I'll just stop posting stuff I find out, and while were at it, I think Cass should stop too. Just so everything is "believable". Yup.

Believe it or not but the Southern Tier 2XIPA was tested at the LCBO lab for a spring 2011 seasonal release. This is a solid fact I assure you.

I picked up a case of the 2XIPA and I can assure you guys its solid. I'm really happy to see that the LCBO is at least acknowledging that there is demand for these kind of products. It might not be the selection one might have a in free market, but hell, its a lot better than it was even 5 years ago.

Nice. I'm so glad R+R are starting to bring in the good stuff and not trying to build the brand in Ontario with dreck like the Porter and Raspberry Wheat.

It is for Halloween for sure, but I feel these beers should be available all of November. It is still the harvest season after all.

I love the word dreck! I use it a lot at work and people have no idea what it means!
