Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release

Boon's Oude geuze was also my first of many Lambics. Nothing else I'd ever had before it. One thing I really like about Boon is their production levels and therefore prices. I'm sure that the Fabriek beers will be good, but I doubt they will be 70% better than a normal Boon. I'm much more looking fo...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Guess all the ones I shop at are merely tier 2 :( Me, too. There is a tier-1 not too far away, but the closest to me are all tier-3s and tier-2s. so you are asking the LCBO to shed a tier for you You okay bro? Even with limited reading comprehension where would it have suggested that?

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Distribution of this the Karma pack was a little disappointing, didn't show up in any of the LCBOs I regularly visit and doesn't seem to be available for online ordering. Timothy Taylor Landlord seems to be disappearing quickly too, I swear I'd seen some available at my local but alas it was gone b...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Kind of thought that I would be eating crow, but after lots of Peter Wolfing, Jart-Elle has an LCBO listing (https://www.lcbo.com/en/jart-elle-oude-kriek-29597).

$11.95, kriek, 6%.

Re: Left Field Brewery

I have a pretty equal hatred for slavery , religion and pro-sports , so Left Field's branding shtick has never sat well with me. However, I love their beer and everyone I have ever met from there has been super nice, so I wish them the best with their expansion and will definitely patronize the new...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Not a bad idea, but if I buy a $47 bottle of no doubt delicious lambic, I'm spending way beyond my budget. Planning to get some of the more common lambics in the coming months.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I didn't think that was allowed. I assumed it was just part of a listing trickling in. Though, now that you mention it, it does seem to make much more sense.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I had a Bellwoods A Stout with Coffee (https://www.lcbo.com/en/bellwoods-brewery-a-stout-with-coffee-30366) the other day and thought it strongly resembled my memory of Peche. Possibly a little stronger on the coffee and a little more approachable at 5%. Reminded me why I grew to love that brewery ...

Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release

I personally have had the basic kriek recently and like it. The marriage parfait or oude kriek are better, but I understand segmenting them into three or four kinds to make stuff for more people. I cannot say I'm much a fan of their basic raspberry. Too sweet for me. https://youtu.be/BXfxBlMgaTY?t=19
