Well, sure - but how MUCH heat they have depends on how much heat there was in the pepper used to make the chipotle in the first place. I've had some that are pretty much all smoke, and some with a pretty powerful burn.

The best beer I've had for heat was the Peach & Pepper Ale from Great Lakes; I'd so love to have that one again.

I take it that the Morimoto Soba is no longer part of the Rogue promo?

I'd like to see it return as well.

And that is likely why there is so much variation in the reviews regarding the heat level.

I would like to take this opportunity to publically air my absolute disgust for someone that is likely a member of this board. I don't know who you are, but you'll know who you are when you read this.

Intential or not,you took beer that were not yours and used my name to do so. The Rogue beers you took that were here for me, and and a few other people. I had to order them in from other stores and was putting time into coming up with these beers so that Londoners would get a chance to try some of these.

You knew they were here, or saw our inventory, and you came into the store and said you were my buddy, that you knew the beer was here, and that you were in on an order. You tricked the staff emmber, and now you've got my beer.

Its not too late to do the right thing. Contact me at 519-451-0220

You are a loser

What the fucking hell. Sorry to hear about that Len. Unfortunately if the person is enough of a piece of shit to do what they did in the first place they won't be the type of person to come clean. And I thought I had to deal with some assholes today..

Hope you manage to get your beers one way or another.

Thanks Cale.

I've managed to replace some of what was lost with some calling around tonight. I snagged a few DDG from a store in Hawkesbury. But its a pain in the ass and I shouldnt have to do it.

Sobas will be available maybe in a week or so.

But this is a new low. Whoever this person is, also forgets that I can go back on our cameras and see how it was. Not too bright. In total , they bought 16 bottles. Some of mine, and some for other members of this forum.

This is another reason I am not interested in organizing this stuff. I go oput of my way to help locals and this is the thanks I get. I thik I;ll just do my own thing from here on in.

Sorry to hear that Len.

It seems everyday my personal motto is proven right..."People are Garbage."

And sometime, well, I hate being right.

Ditto.

Reminds me of that old poster, "Work with diligence and integrity and you will get your just reward". And its a picture of a guy with a giant screw thru him.

Anyone in Hamilton, Centre Mall has 4 of the Brutal on the shelf, picked up 2 when there was 6 on Sat. Spoke to a worker there, maybe the beer guy, and he said he was trying to get some of the rest. He volunteered that he was trying to upgrade the quality of the beer in the store. Good job there was a nurse behind me in line to give me CPR! When I was revived I gave him a verbal pat on the back before I left.

Len thats a bitch bro, next time you need anything call my store. I'll hook you up.

On a side note I had someone from this forum call to hold 2 DDG from my store. This was on the Saturday the day after they were released and said he would be there on the Monday. I said "sure" and once the one case my store got was sold out I got shit from everyone that came in and wanted them, but because I gave my word apologized and continued to hold them. Monday came and went no pick up, Tuesday came same thing, this continued until the next Saturday when I finally said "Fuck this guy" and put them on the shelf for whoever wanted them. This person, a member of this forum, knew how sought after these were here and still didn't bother to claim them or call to say "I wont need these anymore" and give somebody else a chance to get them. That is a dick move. Not only did I have to take shit (and I understand and sympathize with the people who did bitch me out) but you couldn't have at least as a courtesy to everyone else that wanted them at least called. Needless to say I will not hold anything for this jerk ever again, but for fuck sake if I have to read post after post of people bitching about bad customer service at the LCBO on this forum dont make me look like a dick for trying to help you.
