Just received this from Garrison. Something to look forward to.
We are sending five winter seasonals to Ontario this winter. They are as follows: Spruce Beer, PiLs, Winter Warmer, Black IPA and Grand Baltic Porter. Find out more about them here: http://garrisonbrewing.com/specialty.html If you want to find out which beers are available where, simply visit the LCBO website and do a product search. They are not in the system yet, but will be in a few months’ time.
If you have any other questions, just let me know.
Cheers,
Meg

Awesome, I've tried all except the Pils. The spruce beer is quite interesting, and delicious!

I had the Grand Baltic Porter last week, and this year it's very very sweet and bordering on a barley wine.
I remember Expo 67 and drinking that at my cousins in St. Leonard, that stuff was nasty, I cant believe they still make it.maple99 wrote: not a Quebec style spruce beer, which is actually pop, basically 7Up mixed with floor cleaner.
I would say more like 7 Up and Buckleys, which is OK if you are sick.

I remember hearing about this months ago...
I was kind of hoping the baltic porter and the ol fog burner would both be on the list, but it's still pretty exciting. Two great Baltics sitting on our shelves...pretty great!

I like spruce beer. It does taste like conifer trees, and as such it has a terpene quality to it as well (as you would find in terpentine.) How can you hop heads with your pine-tree-resin fetish be such wusses? These are all-natural flavors.
I drank a lot of it in Oka, summer of '85.

Well done Garrison!
Yards in Philadelphia makes a great Spruce beer.
I am sad there are only 3 more in my cellar.
