It's been on the shelves for a while now. You can find it at the Beer Store too. Beware, however, as a few people on here have said they found the bottled version much inferior to the draught.

I for one didn't like it in bottle. Much prefer the La Chouffe beers, or Unibroue La Seigneuriale, or Dieu du Ciel! Dernière Volonté.

Even better news!

I wonder when the Deus Brut is going to return?

Around the same time as Rochefort, 1200 bottles are on order this time around

I was asking the "beer expert" at one of the mississauga vintages locations about Rochefort 8 today, and why we had no stores bring it in.... she had never heard of it !!!!

This explains so much

As is almost always the case, the LCBO launches a new product and orders 1 weeks worth of inventory even though it takes 3 months to get another order here. We argue all the time but it's like butting your head against a wall. They spill more Heineken in one day than we sell Rochefort 8 in a year but they love to micromanage small brands when their warehouse issues are witht the big guys. Good news is it's back in now at a ridiculous price (my mistake) so go out and buy it all up as we have more orders in the pipeline at a much higher price.

Good experts are hard to find...except here on BT!

Rochefort 8 is on the shelves now...saw it at Yonge and Dundas on Thursday.

LOL. That's like a "wine expert" saying they've never heard of Bordeaux.

But keep pushing. Everyone working in those stores is a potential beer geek, and when that happens the beer selection often improves.

According to ratebeer this is an alias for the previously available Old Brewery Pale Ale.

Jeff and Gary say it's the Organic Best Ale relabelled as an "Organic Pale Ale." That's good news as I believe it's the first time we've had access to this and it has great ratings on BA.

I really does have good ratings...I'll have to grab a couple (funny, I've been in the mood for some English Pale Ale and wished I had some Curmudgeon handy.

I haven't had the old brewery pale in a quite a while now, but having just tasted this organic pale ale, I would tend to agree that this is not the old brewery pale ale. This seems to have a fuller body and richer malt flavour. Who knows what shenanigans these yorkies are up to these days.
