Be wary. Boneshaker has shifted to a larger can, so this 473ml can is possibly older stock.
Boneshaker is packaged in both formats. So it should be a fresh stock.

I grabbed some of this recently too, hadn't had it in a while but noticed the can art has been updated. I swear they've tweaked it though, I used to drink it a lot and it seems to have lost its roasted intensity. Still very good but more subtle. I hope it was just an off tasting night or something, because it's long been a favourite. That said, at $2.45 a can even a milder version is tough to beat.

Deadline fast approaching :P
I was thinking of stocking up on a nice saison, like Saison Dupont (I know, not Ontario...but it's on sale) or Saison de la Meuse.
Then I realized I have too much beer to drink already, so no stockpiling for me.

I know some folks have recommended other GLB beers in this thread, but the GLB lagers are a great choice - $44.25 for the case. I usually keep a good amount of this around for visitors that don't drink much craft, and it seems to last a long time.
