Re: Samuel Adams Utopia 2015

I asked some LCBO folks about Utopias 2015 at the Bourbon County Brand Stout event back in Nov and they said Feb. Feb is almost over now and there's been no news. :(

Picked a bottle up today, it's a 750ml bottle this year not the 330ml from the last time. They had a decent number of them at the bayview village location where I got mine. I also got their last bottle of Orval. :)

Got through and ordered one, it'll look nice next to my 10th anniversary bottle.

Asked how many they had left and the rep I talked to said he had no idea.. too busy.

I managed to score one too (416 number).. They were sold out by around 11am... a friend tried when I told him how I was lucky enough to get one and was told they were sold out.

I didn't keep up with special releases as much back then but was the first year with the Ola Dubh 40 year (few years ago) this bad? This is clearly the craziest ever at the LCBO, I don't think I can recall lineups for beer before. The DFH was 'lets run around the city and find it' but it didn't hav...

I always enjoyed the Lion's Winter Ale back when I was getting into craft beer in BC and always found it something that 'nominal beer drinkers' enjoyed as well, with some obvious vanilla flavorings.

If you do decide to sell yours feel free to PM me.

2012 Utopias any news?

Anyone heard anything about if\when the LCBO will be offering the 2012 version (10th Anniversary) of Utopias? I know they've made previous versions available in the past using a lottery system. I was unlucky the first time and didn't heard about it the second time until it was too late. :( Trying to...
