My understanding is that the on bond message I can see from my work means that the product is still awaiting clearance/customs approval.
Thanks.
I am interested to try the Panil. I have one single experience with a sour and I didn't like it at all. I am hoping it was the specific beer I had or that my tastebuds have evolved since then. Would like to find a new style to get in to...

Ohh the PAnil is very good. Probably one of my favourite beers EVER! That tartness and acidity actually make it an epic cheese/bread/beer tasting event!

I'm soooo stoked for the Panil, which I've never had before. In my very limited experience with sours, my absolute favourite has been Rodenbach Grand Cru. I felt like I was dipping my tongue into a bag of citric acid. How does the Panil compare, Len?

It's been a while since I had RGC, but I'd say the Panil will be very comparable. Like I said, Panil is VERY GOOD, one of my favourite beers ever. I also adore RGC, but remember preferring Panil.

I'm so stoked for the Panil. I don't know how much I'll get, probably depending on how much I can get my hands on.

I think each warehouse had approximately 400-500 bottles in each last time I looked. Plenty!

HAmilton (905 and golden horsehoe)
Ottawa (613 area)
and Sudbury (for all northern deliveries)

I picked up some Panil at the St. Lawrence Market location today. Does anyone know if this is the "Sour" or "Italy" version, as described on Beer Advocate? The bottle doesn't seem to say... or I just can't read Italian...

I use to live by the Beer Store at Adelaide & Lorne... there was ALWAYS people lined up on weekend mornings, often with shopping carts full of returns. I remember someone once passing out... supposedly due to the heat wave.

Luckily LC stores don't open on Sunday till noon. This is a clear message to not drink before noon at least one day a week.
