Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

Winter seasonal release I'd assume. Im sure the 3P will be 750ml, but I'd love to see it in 330ml. Fingers crossed. I honestly don't care which. If it's up to snuff, any quad in any size format is alright with me. Knowing Ommegang, either size format will fetch a premium price tag but we've become ...

great news, all higher ABV and all high 90's rankings on ratebeer

Love them Quads and Barleywines, the latter have been so scarce to the point where I'd like to know what "coming soon" means.

Friend just picked up the calling, saying it has a best before date of Feb 2017, bottled in Feb 2016... Anyone else see this too?

Any word how long the delay will be?

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

times have changed.. I remember being excited to find this on tap a few years ago [DISCONTINUED] Spearhead Hawaiian Style Pale Ale (6 x 355 mL bottle) was discontinued As was I and enjoyed it several times. Now a days, we do have some spectacular beers regularly in stock (Chimay, Rochefort, Aventin...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

If all we can order are full cases, how is the lcbo online store thing any different than the service that keep6 already offers? You can get beer shipped to a local LCBO even in Toronto. Other than that, it sounds like basically the LCBO setting up the same thing except for all importers. It may be...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

No sign of the online store yet. Bummer. I guess they will advertise it once the site is live. So far, it's been a bit hush hush. Also, I know its not reasonable to expect them to deliver one or just a few bottles to individual stores, but I'd be nice if they could set up their online platform where...

I'm down for splitting too. Which beers are represented by keep6? Also does anyone know the website address that the new store will be under?

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Another IPA that has gone downhill for me is Red Racer. It used to be all about the juicy grapefruit and I loved it. I'm not sure what's going on today but the flavours are much more faint. Their Imperial is pretty good though.

SMASHBOMB ATOMIC IPA CAN Canada | Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery LCBO 461798 | 473 mL | $ 2.95 I feel the same way about GLB. Really? It just shows you how different people can be. Years ago when I tasted Smashbomb I was very enthusiastic about Flying Monkeys and even made a few trips to their brewer...

Yes! \m/

Meh, same beer in a can at roughly same price. It's a hardly a blip on my radar. Monkeys have been disappointing for a few years.

new Hanlan's Point Coconut Coffee Porter LCBO#: 458299 | 650 mL bottle $7.95 Hanlan's Point is seriously good. Even though its a porter, it's very close to Aphrodite and I would not dare to call it any worse. Would love a side to side comparison. I swear, GLB has been running away with it lately in...
