I saw the Chouffe Bottles, Bah Humbug bottles, and the St Peters gift pack today in Ottawa among a few others of the less exciting packs (stella, mill street etc)

I saw it at Upper James, probably had 24 to start.

Are any of these beers going to be listed online? I've been searching and none are listed.

It is very strange that this one is showing up yet isn't showing up in the in-line inventory. This is probably going to be the most sought after beer of this release and not knowing where it is before going to look for it is only going to add to the frustration.

I agree. Maybe we can keep a running list of where and when we've seen it to help other BTers out...

That and Sam Adams are the ones I haven't seen yet at any of my Brampton locals...

There's a huge end-cap of this on the floor at Liberty Village.

Has anyone come across the St. Bernardus gift pack in any of the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge stores?

I was told the St. Bernies and Samuel Adams were delayed. Anyone confirm this?

I've never had Unibroue 17 - anything familiar to compare it to? If I like trois pistoles will I like this? Is it worth the $10?
