Winter Warmers?

Post by modus_11 »

Any word on the anticipated contents of the winter warmers release? I believe it is usually made public around this time.

I'll be at the LCBO head office for an Ola Dubh media tasting later this week, so I'll try and remember to ask about this.

Those are all part of the Holiday Gifts release, not Winter Warmers.

Not sure why they decided to include some singles along with the giftpacks this year, but there ya go.

Since those beers are usually part of the Winter Warmer promotion that leads me to believe there must be more beers released as part of the seasonal campaign this year. Or at least it would seem that way. Either way, I feel the LCBO has been a little less antagonistic lately... minus the missing Orval, naturally.

I called the LCBO about the Orval - the CSR I spoke to said that its in the warehouse and bonded, and probably will start showing up soon.

Ditto on the Brooklyn Pumpkin. By the time it gets here it will be a "Winter Warmer".
