Probably goes through an internal round of post and interviews before going public. My company does plant, division and then global level postings successively before broadening searches to the general public

Damn cool bottles, though.
Have they done a Beau's collaboration?

TDD is an odd brewery. Generally speaking, I find their barrel-aged beers to be some of the best beers in Canada (Buteuse Brassin Speciale, Nex de Poivrot, Bretteuse, Volo 25th, etc). But their "regular" lineup varies from not so great to "fine". I can't think of another brewery that has a disparity of that sort between their "special" and "regular" beers.

They have much in common, n'est pas (eh)?
I have yet to enjoy the 'great' TDD brews you guys speak of but sounds like I should make a list and go east...

Greg – you've probably already seen this
letter, but if not it may assist with getting some answers RE: the Spring Release. Cheers!

Thanks, cratez. Someone else DMed me the same letter, but before I could follow up, the media invite for the tasting came out with the list.
I've started the new "official" thread for the release -
http://www.bartowel.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=130305 - and will lock this one now.
