Ah, Unibroue. <3 Still have fond memories of the dinner at The Academy of Spherical Arts. Thanks for posting this, Cass -- I'll be sure to head on down to it.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
South River Brewing: https://southriverbrewing.ca/ IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT! It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of South River Brewing Co. As I reach my 20th birthday (Feb 29) I don't think I have even heard of this brewery, but I have to be impressed and commend someone for opening ...

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives
Many of those whiskies usually show up on the spring lotto for Buffalo Trace, and (in theory, at least) everyone gets a fair shot at them. The live bourbon special releases on Vintages never go well, and today was a horror, so much so the they suspended the release, and will re-offer it again, presu...

If anyone was thinking of heading down this weekend, be aware that it might be a tad smokey.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
The latest Unibroue mix pack at TBS has gone from bottles to cans and has 3 each of Eau Benite, TP, LFDM and Maudite. The coming gift pack won't be terribly different -- LFDM, Maudite, Saison Libre, and Blanche de Chambly (plus a BdC glass). The cans will be bigger in this one, and I don't think th...

Re: Aging canned Unibroue vs bottled
The winter pack has always been skewed towards the higher abv end; it was good to have a Chambly tossed in, even if it was the Blonde. It is a shame that they've reduced the amount of variety in the pack, although the trade-off is more beer -- 355ml cans vs the old 341ml bottles. Thanks for the feed...

Aging canned Unibroue vs bottled
I noticed (with some dismay) that the seasonal pack of Unibroue at the Beer Store now is canned, not bottled. I'd really like to set some aside for aging, but have doubts about how things would turn out with canned beer. Anyone have any experience in this area, and/or does anyone know if it's still ...

Re: Formerly The Emerald Inn (now The Monk's Kettle)
Just a quick note to report that The Monk's Kettle closed shop on the 26th of May; dunno what sort of establishment will be taking over from them.

Re: Pine
If you were hoping for actual pine beer, the only one that comes to mind would be Alba, which is part of the Historic Ales from Scotland set. That's being cleared out now as the set came in for Christmas, but Alba itself is over 7%ABV, so I would assume it hasn't mellowed too much. https://www.lcbo....
