The St. Ambroise is my favourite pumpkin, and always the hardest to find
Really, eh? It was my least favourite by a considerable margin compared to both Great Lakes or Grand River's. Taste can be so subjective.

My hopes were dashed for the Trafalgar. I guess they had to bury the Malted Corpse this time, maybe the beer offended dead people?

Woo Hoo!
Just got back from the Dundas store and got mine.
Also bought some Smoked Oatmeal from Trafalgar, it got panned but you gotta try it so you know also some Saranac. No DDC so I moved on.

Some Grand River HIGHBALLER PUMPKIN ALE, LCBO Item # 132753, is showing up in the system, but the distribution's still limited ... as in nowhere near me.

Also, the ST. AMBROISE PUMPKIN ALE is starting to show up.

Really waiting for any of these pumpkin brews to wind up anywhere in the Chatham Kent - Windsor area. If not, a road trip to London may be in order

Shouldn't you just leave the Windsor area in general?

Why the hell does Kincardine of all places get some of these releases, but bigger places like KW don't. Ridiculous.

You've got me there! I am in the Chatham Kent area though but am only 30 minutes from the Roundhouse LCBO in Windsor. Unfortunetly my three local LCBO's (Chatham and Tilbury) have rather poor beer selections.

Upon further research it appears I will be taking a road trip to the scenic streets of Windsor tomorrow!!

Because KW is actually owned by MolsonCoors. Anything you see on our LCBO shelves that isn't a Molson/AB/Inbev product was courageously smuggled into the region by our brave local résistance group. The greatest hero's who ever lived, the lot of them...
