This seems to have a fuller body and richer malt flavour. Who knows what shenanigans these yorkies are up to these days.
I have to say, their organic beers/cider is miles above their other stuff. The raspberry was great as was the cider...not that I'm a "it must be organic" kind of guy, but I wonder if it does have something to do with the ingredients or just how the brewery treats them.

There's tons of unnecessary chemical baggage in our food supply so to reduce toxic stress on our bodies (and on microorganisms) it's valid to start with organics.
In spite of the 'horror and drama' around wind turbine bird kills, the environmental pollution from farm pesticides kills a thousand times as many birds... yet most people support killing those birds with every food purchase they make.

AC/DC LAGER+

also noticed that chimay blue cap is back in stock again (as well as saison dupont)
I just searched the LCBO website for 346502 and got no result.
I did see this beer at TBS today.

Excellent post. Poignant and relevant.
Less relevant, but perhaps still worth noting, BC Craft Brewers Natural Selections 6-Pack is now in stores:
Vancouer Island Sea Dog Amber Ale
Dead Frog Pale Ale
Steamworks Signature Pale Ale
Lighthouse Switchback IPA
Russell IP'eh!
Whistler Paradise Valley Grapefruit Ale

Hmmm...I wonder why Fuller's is back with bottles? I thought the trend was towards cans...

I know that the SAQ stores in Quebec gets their fullers in Bottles. I wonder if the LCBO will start getting bottles too.
It's all about justifying the existence of each.

You think it's because the two 'competing' entities, LC and BS, tend not to compete with same formats of like products?

Hennepin is a pretty indestructible beer. I wouldn't worry too much if it's been sitting in a warehouse for a while.

It's more to plan out how much I am going to buy. Not going to buy 48 bottles if the best before is 2014 etc.
