I’ve always been a fan of their RIS, but havnt seen it for a while.

Thank you for this information, I've never had their BA imperial porter. Also a fan of their RIS, last bottle I had was 2017 so it definitely hasn't been around in a while.

Here's to hoping the Mountain Lager is just as good as it was orignally

Wow, the Christmas gift packs and other special seasonal releases seem to be coming really early this year.

^^^agreed. I picked up the Welly barrel aged pack almost two weeks ago(granted, earlier release due to living in Guelph) today I was able to grab a couple Fuller Vintage, Left Field imperial stout pack, and a couple St Berny Xmas ales.
Also on the shelves was the chimay gift pack,St Berny 6 pack and the old classic Belgian mix pack.

There must be a 'Repeat Last Order' button that someone there shrugs and then clicks annually for international beer gift packs.

Westmalle pack out in the wild too now. Based on what you're getting for the prices this year, I'll probably be skipping most. The Beyond the Pale pack is especially out to lunch on pricing; 17 bucks for 3 x 355 ml of semi-regularly produced beers (Darkness, Darkerness, and Dark & Picante). I get everything is up these days but that's wild. At least Left Field's 3 x 355 ml pack at 19 bucks includes two BA variants.

That Berny mix pack is usually a welcome return but it's creeping way up as well. Harder to justify since Abt 12 and now the Christmas Ale are both available individually. C'est la vie.

Rumour is that Other Half will be at the lcbo.. can anyone confirm?

Wow

3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Platinum Blend

375 mL

Spendy, but cheaper than in adjacent jurisdictions.

Not available online at the moment, but may be in stores as the Kriek Boon was in stores weeks before it was listed on the site.

Just came across Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel at the LCBO (Vic Park & Ellesmere). Didn't realize it was showing up, haven't had it in a while. One of my all time favourite dark wheat beers.

They had some Paulaner Weissbier Dunkel too, although I think I recall seeing that one mentioned here already.

Yes, saw this one on shelf today at Vic Park & Ellesmere.

Site is showing lots of store inventory, now.

Removed:
Just wish there was another store in Scarborough, not right on the border.

Not a new arrival, but not sure where to put this.

3 Fonteinen Intens Rood reduced to $14.65, from $20.

Stock at the Beaches (Queen/Coxwell), Crossroads, Guelph, and Peterborough.

Going to check this one off my list.

Good news for Orval fans, there's a fresh batch (for LCBO standards) of Orval on shelves. Bottling date 07/08/23. They've now brought in a new batch every year since it returned a few years ago (2020 through 2023 bottlings thus far). I'll be very happy if the intent is to keep this listed indefinitely.

2023 found at Leaside LCBO, however I've noticed 2022 and even 2021 bottles still floating around out there.

Was there a Pohjala drop at the LCBO this year? Did I miss it?
