I know the stouts just arrived, which is cool, and the Christmas stuff is still working its way through the system, but do we know what's coming up in the spring release(s)? I know the March one is Pale Ales and will have a little Brakspear, and the May one is the fruit beers again, but has the LCBO revealed the master lists yet?

I'll see what I can find out. The LCBO should have their spring and summer releases finalized.

Here are the beers to be released in the LCBO's March release:
Marston's India Export 500 ml
Rogue Brutal Bitter 650 ml
St. Peter's Best Bitter 500 ml

Some good stuff here. Can't wait.

One more thing - no other future releases are finalized yet. As soon as I hear I'll let everyone know.

Cool, thanks. Of course, the LCBO should be forthcoming about upcoming releases, being that they are in the business of SELLING beer!
And though I like the ten or twelve beer releases better, it's nice to see Brakspear coming to town, and ditto the HopDevil, which is precisely the kind of brew many of us have been waiting for.

Nice work with the Victory. Let's get them in every release! The Whirlwind is a really nice witbier. Nice to see two of my favourite Mort Subites in there as well.

I had a conversation with a pleasantly knowledgeable LCBO employee at the 2 Cooper Street store, and asked him why it is that I can't get a peep out of the LCBO as to what beers they're planning to bring in, whereas I get what I need to know from
http://www.bartowel.com?
Why is it that a third-party - one to which I am extremely grateful - is doing the advertising that the LCBO should be doing in the first place?
