We chat about bats in their habitats. Some wear hats, and some ride cats.

A 6-pack of Dead Guy is $15.55 or something at the Lickbo...WTF?

Has been for a while - My local stopped carrying it when it hit 15 bucks.

Couple of updates on this release:

1) Despite the original announcement saying that it would be in stores around the end of June, it's now planned for the end of May.

2) Stock of Double Dead Guy will be quite low - only 20 cases, I've been told - so it will be limited to around 5 stores (with Summerhill and Cooper St. being likely for Toronto). The rest of the beers will be available in 25 locations.

Any way of finding out what 25 stores will be part of the feature?

I have grown weary of the LCBO's nonsensicalness when it comes to distribution. I will be surprised if even 1 of those stores will be in Niagara with a total population of over 500,000, but i won't be surprised to see 5-10 stores in Toronto be selected. Seriously...its just easier, cheaper, and less stressful to drive across the border and pick this stuff up in Buffalo. Screw you LCBO.

I agree with dutchcanuck.....

BTW Coles just tapped 10 different Rogue brews yesterday...I find most Rogue beers over rated and over priced. 2 cents.

My wife follows Coles on her facebook for me since I'm a social media Luddite. I was considering going to Coles for lunch tomorrow actually since I need to pick some homebrew supplies from Niagara Traditions. Coles has come awesome french soup and some of the best burgers I've ever had. I cannot recommend that place enough

....thier pesto bruschetta and Lindemans Frambois (for the wife) allows me to frequent Coles often, and yes great burgers.

I also agree with dutchcanuck and will throw Hamilton into the mix as well, we wont see Rogue here.

Tired of the games so I'm hitting Michigan next month to stock up for the summer. A store we usually go to was kind enough to email me a list of all the craft beer they stock so....

Care to share that list?

I'll probably be in Michigan soon too, and was hoping to hit someplace else besides the Red Wagon.
