The pre-Christmas release that they did (three different beers) was via online sales only and by the case of six, but the bottle price broke down to $24.05 each. Would guess that it will be similar/the same.

The rebranding was done last year. These are not that old.

Two are dated '15 and one '16. Perhaps Cascade bottle ages their beers a la Rodenbach Vintatge?

They have nothing on their website from '17. These are the most recent vintages. Likely brew dates. Apricot is aged for 14 months in barrels.

Prices seem to be online now. Pretty reasonable for Cascade, they're in the $21-25 range for 750 mL bottles.

I noticed the Cascade beers sell for a little more at the brewery in Portland once you convert the currency. Manhattan 2015 is US$30 over there and only $28.30 at the LCBO.

Much appreciate the Cascade limited store release heads up. I would have ordered some of these online brews by the sounds of them. Cab Grape + and Pinot Nor barrel ageing? Getouttahere...
