had my first bottle of the new batch tonight, and its tasting fantastic. I really wish this would replace the devils pale ale, or at least be a regular at the lcbo. I suggest everyone gets to them before the hoppy goodness deteriorates.

Had a bottle on the dock at the cottage a few days ago. Like so many other Ontario seasonals/one-offs, this would be an awesome regular offering.

Yes! I've been stocking this regularly since it showed up on shelves a few weeks ago, and wish it was available year round. It'd also be nice to see GLB can/bottle some of their other one-offs (My Bitter Wife/Miami Weiss/Morning Glory etc.) for LCBO sale. Lose the Green Tea and move on...

Great news - for those not following GLB on Facebook, they announced earlier today that the Canuck is going to be CANNED (473 ml) and is coming to the LCBO as a general list item, as early as Feb. I've had it at the Vic a few times in the past weeks and this is the best batch yet, IMO. An excellent addition to LCBO shelves for those looking for a local hop fix.

Good news. I know the initial problems with this beer have been long solved.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

i just had a bomber of the lastest batch and its drinking very well. probably the best APA being brewed in the province right now.

it should be a fridge staple for hop heads.

+ 1

Hell, they might even wanna think about a 6-pack that features 2 each of the Canuck, Miami, and 666. That would be a never ending staple in my fridge.

How is that fair to the new staple gun and box of staples you just got for christmas, and were also keeping in your fridge?

Miami Weisse is coming too? excellent. A good step forward for GL. Any idea what format for the Miami Weisse? 473 ml can as well?
