Hot damn! I love that beer.Belgian wrote:Surprise, or not - Schneider-Brooklyner Hopfen Weissejust spotted at Barrack St. in Kingston.
Hate those new standardized looking labels from Schneider, though. They all look the same on the shelf. I've probably walked by the Hopfen-Weisse a few times already thinking it was the regular Schneider...
Yeah, I'm guessing the new one is this...spinrsx wrote:this is new:

The new one is still a standard lager, but is better rated then the other.

The stout is going for $4.50, while Lupulus is at $10.50. Blanche might be at $4.50 as well, but I did not pay too much attention to it (even though its an outstanding wheat beer, just wasn't in the mood for one tonight), so I'm not too sure. Either way, its about a $1 off their regular shelf prices.midlife crisis wrote:Nice. Thanks for the info. I quite like La Vache Folle. I don't suppose you recall whaht they are selling it for?

Those guys really don't pull any punches when it comes to marketing, do they?MatttthewGeorge wrote:Wayward Son info, for those that don't already know (like me until 30 seconds ago): http://www.canadianbeernews.com/2013/06 ... d-brewing/
From my observation, the wrapping and presentation of the Canny Man had many casual consumers, stopping and starting a conversation about it, usually starting with "what the hell is this", treating it as a novelty kind of item. It's great to be noticed, however, I imagine few people actually bought it, due to its high price, hence the lcbo putting a discount on it, recently. Although I'm sure they've done their calculations and this is what they think is best, imho, these obscure, local, not very well established nor too well regarded breweries, should really be re-thinking their pricing models, in order to entice first time and repeat customers. BTW, the box from the Wayward Son looks a lot like the boxes from Flying Monkeys special edition beers. Pretty cool, nevertheless.groulxsome wrote:Those guys really don't pull any punches when it comes to marketing, do they?MatttthewGeorge wrote:Wayward Son info, for those that don't already know (like me until 30 seconds ago): http://www.canadianbeernews.com/2013/06 ... d-brewing/
