If you haven't had the Exclusive Belgian Ales 6 pack, I'd recommend it, the Bornem Triple and Dubbel are ok, Brugel is nothing special, but the pack alone is worth it for Piraat, Gulden Draak and Augustjin

Picked up a few Fuller's Vintage, the Sam Smith gift pack, and a few Chouffe. Was pretty surprised to see them all up here in Timmins!

No Chouffe anywhere near here yet, but grabbed the Maredsous, Duvel and Belgian 6 pack gift set. I'd buy Gulden Draak by the case if I could.

already got it, big fan of Gulden Draak. Luckily got a chance to buy one at Whole Foods in NYC in the summer. Last time before that was last season's gift packs.

You can as there is a agent in Ontario that does consignment. I looked into it once, and it was a pretty decent price. Around $85 for 24 bottles if I remember.

Who is the agent? I'd certainly be interested in purchasing a case...

They've got two Hoss gift packs in here in Peterborough. One with a glass, and one without. And each has different beers. Bad beers, but all different.

I already have some Duvel glasses so I'm taking advantage of the single bottles being on sale at $2.45 a pop. Awesome deal!

I like it that this years Samuel Smiths has the India Ale.

La Chouffe is a great bang for the buck and a fantastic brew. Shared some at lunch.

I'm thinking of picking up the Sam Smith gift pack just for that India Ale, even though I've already got a few Sam Smith pint glasses

Happily picked up some Duvel singles as well. La Chouffe showed up in Newmarket finally so I grabbed a few of those as well.

I noticed quite a few of the gift packs at my local LCBO tonight. I picked up the Bavarian Alps pack and my wife picked up the Duvel twin pack with glass. She felt honor bound to do so since she broke one of my two Duvel glasses last winter. I'll probably get a couple more of the Duvel packs, as it is a very nice glass to serve from when friends are over.
