Greg, any hints on whats coming in the way of giftpacks and dont say Guinness?
Other than the ST and Brooklyn Pumpkins' I've pretty much got the Autumn releases covered.

Damn, my LCBO contact must be holding out on me if the gift packs list is already out there elsewhere!
I'll see if I can find out more details about those, and whether or not the Winter release has been firmed up yet.

I like the porter. I wish they would just bring the porter in as a single.

The Hirschbrau and Bavarian Alps Collector could be interesting.

Here's hoping that this inclusion somehow leads to a general listing. It would certainly fill a hole.

Really interested in the Hirschbrau - their swingtops are great for homebrew

Picked up some Muskoka Harvest and as Greg mentioned in another post, they have swingtops.

What a cut-and-paste release, huh? Even La Chouffe has been here, many years before. Glad they put all their teams to work on it!
Maybe Maredsous will show again, what a great glass.
And do all you home brewers collect swing top bottles?

Yes, you can buy new rubber gaskets and makes capping way easier.

Indeed! I will happily take any leftover Muskoka Harvest bottles people might have kicking around!

Yeah, I like the hirschbrau ones because they are a slimmer design (same diameter as a regular Euro bottle (500 ml) which means they back well in boxes
