Or might as well be if its not....

Yep, realized that after I'd checked the Unibroue website. Says "2006 Collection" on the box, but I guess what I'm after is the 2007 collection. The Beer Store's website show's a Unibroue Collection with 12 different beers in it, but I've yet too see one.

I don't think they're doing a 2007 mixed pack, at least not in Ontario.

That's the mixed pack from a few years ago. TBS listed it once, and then never changed the website description as the contents of the box changed over the years.

That would be too bad.

I'm not holding my breath, but when I was at TBS last week I asked about Unibroue availability, and was told that they have "tons of all 5 brands" in stock...

Gedge,

Which TBS did you find it at?

I've heard the same thing in Toronto locations. Perhaps they're just delisting it from markets where it's not moving...

I've heard the same. One TBS employee said that the Unibroue beers tend to sell better in more affluent neighbourhoods. Of course, his store was in what appeared to a nice area, but I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence.

TBS at Greenwood and Danforth ALWAYS has all 5 there. I have never had an issue getting some Trois Pistoles there.

Unibroue haven't done a decent Mix Pack in ten years or something.

We can stop salivating. We will not see a pack with everything from Eau Bénite, La Fringante, 1837, Sans Nom, St-Hubert, Don De Dieu - actually forget ever seeing any of these unique flavorful beers here ever again.

But I'm happy for the separate ones we DO have for now - Maudite, Trois Pistoles, La Fin Du Monde and Blanche De Chambly are all beers to be proud of.

You'd think we'd be able to get a straight answer to a simple question, will TBS continue selling Unibroue or is it being delisted?

I would think that Sleeman has as much or more control over carrying Unibroue products that TBS? They would be shelling out some serious coin in listing fees. Perhaps someone should ask them?
