Got some in Orleans.
Funny, the name on the bottles in my basement say Jacques. Got them on Monday, wasn't many. I got two. Probably left 4.

that's good news! I want to get a few of these, I've had it before and it seems like a decent beer to cellar

Hamilton Dundurn still has both Pepe Nero and Pere Jacques in stock.
Don't know what happened, Friday they had a couple dozen of each and didn't show any inventory Saturday - Monday and suddenly shows today. I don't think they would have sold 5 dozen bottles Friday nite, but then there are a lot of fans in Hamilton.

It's available in bottles in some mixed pack. It was my best option over the holidays one night and it was drinkable. Not great, but drinkable..
