Great beer. Is this going to be a permanent listing or seasonal? There will be alot of this in my fridge this summer.

Loving this beer, I picked up 12 at the LCBO at Woodroffe and Baseline in Ottawa.

Huge blast of hop aroma on the first pour. Great beer I hope it stays in general list.

So this FINALLY showed up in Waterloo Region. Got some today and it's just as awesome as I remember. Thanks GLB for brewing it. I only wish it was more readily available to me because it would be a regular purchase.

I dunno - is it just me or is this beer really harsh in cans? Its always had quite an aggressive bite to it, but in cans it just goes over the edge for me. Nice on draft and in bottles though!

I picked up a can of this at the LCBO at Dupont and Spadina last night. I loved how it had a huge bite to it but was still smooth to drink.
Now that I know I like it, I'll return to pick up a lot more.
The graphic design is pretty hilarious and I wonder if people will take it seriously for the great beer that it is?

Good beer, and I love that it comes in cans. Reminds me a lot of Publican House's Square Nail Pale Ale.

I would agree to that, especially considering, as you point out, the value you're getting at only $2.50 for the pint!
