i'm guessing:
in 2016, we'll have Lagunitas at TBS (it was likely coming here, but TBS vs LCBO)
Lagunitas will be available across europe shortly via the Chicago plant

Slate article ends with:

Anyway, you'll probably be able to get a decent IPA in Amsterdam soon. That's really the news here.

That probably wasn't meant to be taken too literally - as in Amsterdam in particular doesn't have IPA but soon will - however, as it happens a year and a half ago the guy sitting next to me at Amsterdam's Beer Temple bar was drinking a bottle of a Lagunitas beer. Quite a few stores in the Netherlands, UK and elsewhere have been selling US microbrews for well over a decade but I guess with Heineken's backing they will become even more mainstream.
