I may be outta the loop on this...I know they were bought out, but, are these guys just gone?
I haven't seen any SI beers in stores for a while!

Yes. After Kichesippi bought out Heritage - which had previously bought our Scotch-Irish - they killed off all of the Heritage & S-I brands.
They still own the recipes, and there's a chance that some S-I beer(s) may return in a new guise. I can't say much more than that, though...

thanks, I know there were some serious Trafalgar-esque quality control issues, but John By was the first impy stout I ever had...way back when it was a mere 6.7%. When I had the Tzarina Caterina at volo a while ago I thought it was awesome...
I've been so distracted with other beers in the past months, I hadn't thought about SI until I realized there's no John By anywhere. Kind of sad about it...may be just the nostalgic in me...

Pretty sure it was just a name change to meet the LCBO requirements. Could be wrong though.S.

I only had the bottle version, but I loved it.

Even on tap it was still Corporal Punishment, Bitter Brown was for the LCBO.
