This makes me (almost) forget the annoyance of picking up the beer earlier today... which ended with me just grabbing the box and walking away while the LCBO employee saying I still needed to sign stuff. The system they have there is clearly set up for businesses doing large orders, not individuals trying to pick up a single box.
At least they didn't give your beer away like they did mine earlier today. Some unsuspecting Bar Toweler has to make a return trip with the stolen booty. I got one in the end but if you're not picking up 20 cases of wine for your restaurant, good luck!

Little disappointed as I was really looking forward to the Jalapeno but the Hop Yard is a darn good beer and acceptable replacement I suppose.
I thought the original 6 pack included Hop Yard and Jalapeno, as well as the Tall Ship Amber, Nut Brown, Raspberry Wheat and Irish Red Ale.

Which one did they replace then?
Should be the Moka Ale. Nut brown with espresso added.

Its been awhile but checking back to teh original listing I beleive it's the Stout that has replaced the Jalapeno. The Nut Brown was always part of the order

I'm really enjoying the Hopyard Pale Ale. It has a really nice hoppy aroma with a hint of vanilla or something which I can't get enough of. Very drinkable.

I'm glade to see you guys are enjoying some fine Maritime brewing. I too really enjoy Garrison's Imperial IPA, but I have access to it via NB Liquor. However about a month ago, the bar I go to all the time has it on tap now. O_O

If you guys haven't ordered it before, I would recommend trying to get a hold of Garrison's Grand Baltic Porter, its my favourite beer from them, with the ImIPA being my second.

I have 3 bottles of their Jalapeño Ale at home, which I'm going to share with some people in a few weeks.

I'm hoping to go to Halifax in a few weeks and pick up some of their Blackberry Wheat Ale.
