They can't be that useless can they. I mean if they were they would have stopped after OCB Discovery Pack #1 or #2. The fact that they are on #10 must say something about how successful they have been.
Using the same logic, I`ll echo the the fact that there are 5 or 6 seasonal releases each and every year, from Trafalgar. The fact they have so many must mean they are successful. And the fact they are successful must mean good things for thew Ontario beer scene, right?

Well I think they could be useful for the ontario beer scene. Perhaps someone decides they want to try something different but doesn't know what. They buy one of these and they start to get a hankering for beers that taste different than a light lager. I'd say that was good for the beer scene wouldn't you?

I am usually good for at least one pack and appreciate them for the breweries that don't make their way to the deepest, darkest eastern reaches of the province. We don't get any Lake of Bays here in Ottawa so I bought the last one to try them out and we also don't get F&M so I'm likely to pick one up of the next pack as well. I've had some interesting releases from Mill St. in the past, and seeing Beau's Lugtread in the teeny tiny bottles was worth it in and of itself. Ok, so I don't wait in breathless anticipation of each release but I enjoy seeing what's there.
