Didn't Four Winds have a saison packed in to the Discover BC beer pack at the LCBO in the spring/summer 2014?

Re: … and maybe some Coffee Stouts to wash them down?

On a recent trip to Edmonton I picked up the Sriracha Stout and the Rogue Lemon Chiffon Crueller one and brought them home. Again I shared them with a handful of friends but nobody liked them.

I think it may be a little late now to get them - but there are other places in Ontario that will sell rhizomes (I seem to remember the ones I got from Toronto Brewing being more mature). I put together a hop yard - bas...

Re: ORVAL

Orval was picked up from the brewery over one month ago yet we can't even get a confirmation that it is on the water although I imagine it is.
