Some point this week there'll be Canny Man from Radical Road brewing in Etobicoke

Very excited about this. The chutzpah on these guys! And nice piece, Jordan (as usual).

NAC put this on their Facbook feed about an hour ago:

Radical Road Canny Man is being shipped out to the Lcbo tomorrow. See you in a few weeks at retail.

I got a reply from NAC on their facebook page. We're looking at early February for Radical Road according to them.

Sorry for the delay, the shipment is in the warehouse and we expect Jewbelation to start hitting the shelves next week.

Thank you all for your patience.

Cheers,

It's not listed, but the Jewbelation is currently on the shelf at King and Spadina in Toronto.

Picked up a couple of bottles of Jewbelation at Front/Sherbourne (one left when I left). They were cleaned out at King/Spadina yesterday.

I can't remember if there was debate over which vintage the LCBO was getting, but it's the Sweet 16 (LCBO lab sticker says 14.5% ABV).

The ABV is actually 14.5...I'm sure He'Brew put it at 16% on the label to follow with the "16" theme. For the states that cant sell beer over 12% the labels are stickered at 11.8%. LCBO lab testing is very rigours (and long as hell) but very acurate

^ this alcohol variance is common for American craft brews, and if you notice sometimes they even omit the information (cheeky example i once read - Alc: YES.)

Labeling laws do not always involve breathless hysteria over unimportant details.

^ by 'children' I think he means French Canadians who want their own country. Can't they just be happy we need to print everything in duplicate languages? Think of the trees! The poor trees!!

It's not required in every jurisdiction in the US, I think is why you see it omitted some places. IIRC some places prohibit the labelling of strong beers to prevent them being marketed on the strength?
