How much was BCBS the last time it was at the lcbo? $20?

Bourbon Barrel imparts toasted-coconut and caramel-corn buttery flavors. Truly deep rich velvety and subtle... THICK! Black as the hour of despair. Like a liqueur of coffee and cocoa with brash American oakwood, plus rich nutty dry finish, vanilla, and butterscotch. FEELS like a whiskey finish. HOT. Big beer. 4.5 / Ratebeer
Holy crap. It cost me less to trade for 2018 Prop and Reserve. It will only be slightly more per bottle for a pre-trade I have for Double Barrel and Caffe de Ola! The one bottle limit is rather annoying too. I think I’ll just grab it off the shelves down south at some point next month.beerstodiscover wrote:$22.95 is way out of line with the LCBO's usually cheap pricing for US craft.
Sometimes companies use high pricing to position their brands as "super premium" in a market. This could be going on here, especially with Goose bringing such a limited supply.Coronaeus wrote:There really is no rhyme or reason to pricing here. The fact we get Utopias for the equivalent of US$85 when it is minimum US$190 down south is even more confounding.

BCBS variants and special sours that were released at LCBO in years past were also very limited and expensive.
Both Moosehead “small batch” beers I’ve had previously were decent. Not anything I bought again, but I didn’t regret either purchase.JaseWescott wrote:Moosehead Small Batch Irish Red and Peppermint IPA listed @ LCBO.

I think the Rauchbier Smoked Lager is coming to.
I don't remember much about the Prairie Honey Wheat Ale, but that's not a favourite style of mine anyway. The London Stout was good.MatttthewGeorge wrote:Both Moosehead “small batch” beers I’ve had previously were decent.

I agree. Sometimes I think brewers sit around just trying to think of some flavour that hasn't been seen in a beer before so they can try it. But some just don't sound right to me. I recall not buying Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Chocolate, Banana & Peanut Butter Ale for this reason. Peppermint IPA does not grab my interest.Craig wrote:Nothing about Moosehead, but I can't imagine doing anything other than regretting a peppermint IPA.
Maybe it's amazing? Someone buy one and let me know

Fixed Gear Brewing Cherry Training Wheels also a new listing
