Interesting to see 6 American beers in that list. Hopefully that is the start of a new trend...

That Hitachino Nest list price is cheaper than what it actually retails for in Japan....where the beer is actually made. That is nuts.

Poets a pretty good oatmeal stout.

I like dragons milk but there are several, several other barrel aged stouts.

376434 / Amager Bryghus Imperial Stout
Hope to actually see bottles of this, maybe I was not enough on the ball but would have liked one or two Amager Hr Fredriksen as these Dane beers are quite nice.

What a list! Thanks as always Greg.

Has anybody ever thought any of the Renaissance stuff is worth the price? I've tried 3 or 4 of them and thought they're all average at best. I supposed someone must be buying them as they keep popping up.

exactly, I'm not -that- excited for dragons milk, I just wanted to see a barrel aged stout at the lcbo (other than the mclausan)
