I started reading without paying attention to the dates and was thinking, I don't remember the LCBO bringing in 96/97 Boon. Then I realized that's a 22 year old post- I was 16 at the time, so that's why I don't remember. Wasn't into lambics yet lol.

I was looking to see if there was an agent for a lambic.

No, I didn't wait 22 years, but I do have some bottles marked that I am hoping to get to 20 years.

Too funny.
Not sure who the importer of Boon is. LCBO had the Kriek not long ago, so might be able to track down that way...?
Vitriol in Quebec brings in Boon.

Off-ish topic...had a 40 year old beer once (not a lambic). It was actually quite enjoyable. Hmm, probably posted about it on here back in the day...lol.

The oldest bottle in my cellar is 13 years old. I guess I should keep saving it, lol.

Roland and Russell is the one for Boon.

The last time Boon Geuze was at the LCBO was in a Christmas pack years ago.

Do not believe there has been an attempt to bring it back.

Also tangential, but hopefully something positive comes out of the $50 million LCBO thing. It's at the SAQ for $6.6.
