Can't wait to see all of these in late summer!

All jokes aside, I'm pretty excited to see Vox Populi make it out here. Definitely a bunch I'm looking forward to.

Getting the Einbecker in fresh would be pretty neat.

Strong Patrick,cowbell hazy day,

The hazy day is decent, but to me tastes like a weaker version of Ransack

You have to apply pretty much 1 year in advance to have your beer released for the seasonal release. it ain't easy.

As an aside, 3 Fonteinen Armand & Gaston and Oude Geuze 750 mL were supposed to come in for springtime (shelf listing) except, somehow, 3F's cardboard box failed the lab. So we're now waiting for a re-testing of the cardboard box and we'll hopefully have it in for the summer

yeah, we heard that from one client. Called the LCBO to fix it and I think they did finally figure it out.

Probably LC's internal safety & integrity standards. Oh, the beers that have been box-shamed for trying to use less cardboard / be more Eco-friendly! We never saw Weltenburger Asam-Bock, ever again... :(

Good to hear the Drie Fonteinen / 3Fs will hopefully still be here, thanks!!

it was never fully resolved.
But we're working on a large online order for 2021. Sadly, the cardboard issue/internal LCBO testing disrailed planned store distribution.
