Collective Arts Ransack the Universe was in tall cans at the Dundas/Dovercourt LCBO today. Canning date is Jan 5/16. Unlike the Collective Arts bottles, the canning date is large and visible on the cans. The clerk said they were flying off the shelves. They also have a ton of DDC Aphrodisiaque with ...

Hellwoods is back in the bottleshop if anyone missed it a few weeks ago.

Lagunitas IPA was bottled Jan 11, 2016. From Fresh Beer Only... Lagunitas: Uses a bottling date. Julian date code which is written in black on the neck of the bottle. There are 2 lines. First line has 3 digits followed by a space, then one more digit. The first three digits represent the day of the ...

It's been a little over a year since Bellwoods posted a picture on the Skeleton Key ingredients on their Instagram. I'm curious when that will be released and how fast it will sell compared to the recent BA releases.

There used to be a Hellwoods ice cream available at Bang Bang and Bakerbots in Toronto. That was good stuff on an ice cream sandwich... I welcome more of this in the future.

BOYD is now sold out.

I just got back as well. For what it's worth, it didn't seem like everyone was buying the maximum 4 bottles. I would suspect the bottle shop is mostly cleared out by late Sunday due to a combination of Christmas shopping and two beer releases though.

This was previously called Hemisphere IPA. I had it on tap at WVRST almost a year ago and it was quite good. I may be making first purchase at the Beer Store in over a year if this isn't at the LCBO.

6-4-3 Double IPA was released at the bottle shop today. Looking forward to trying this one!

As previously noted, Bring Out Your Dead will be released Friday December 18th at 11am.

$12/bottle. 2400 bottles. 4 bottle limit. Expected to last until Saturday night.

A buck cheaper than last year and 0.8% higher in ABV.

So I take it only the regular Arrogant Bastard is the one with the short shelf life and the others have some time. Think the two without dates can be cellared for a while (at least that's my impression??). Sorry my post had some typos. Oaked and regular Arrogant Bastard are enjoy by Jan 6, 2016... ...
