I think I like Hellwoods more than Peche - there, I said it - Also, I imagine they've got some Hellwoods aging in something bourbony or whiskey-y for release in a year or so, which I imagine will be just a little yummy.

They're spiritually pretty similar to DDC. Although, Luke will never have a wild Fabio mane like JF's.

PECHE OVER EVERYTHING...except for BA Peche of course!

No but seriously Bellwoods is great, but not DDC great yet at least.

Know what I think - no knock on Bellwoods or anybody, but cotton cloth bottle carrier bags are WAY better than all this 'use-and-throw' packaging. I have LCBO ones and I know Harmony Organic Dairy sold the exact same ones at some stores.

Be cool if a 'bring your own bag' brewer like Bellwoods offered these branded cotton bags with 4 separate compartments. I'd buy a few spares!

Bellwoods does sell branded cotton bags, so I assume that will be an alternative.

LOL never made it to the store. Those bags would be cool, they are very reusable, protect the bottles well and take up very little storage space.

Yep, they are cream coloured bags. Look really nice! It was either andrewrg or cmadd that had one when I saw it ... maybe one of them can chime in on it.

Unfortunately, it's andrewrg that out-hipstered me and got one of the bags.

Not quite yet. They're aiming for end of Jan or beginning of Feb.

Yes, the bag is pretty awesome. Much better than other bags.

How much does 4-pack of bombers cost here? How much for 12 oz, or Growlers?
