Tis the season. These puppies should start showing up soon, no? Last year they started to show up around mid-October if I recall.

Hoping for some new offers this year!

I don't know if it's a holiday gift, but the 750mL Duvel w/glass is showing up online.

Certainly not groundbreaking news, but there were a handful of Schmucker Bio-Pils at Queen's Quay this aft. I didn't know this was coming, nor did I even know what it was (I'm assuming it fits into the Organic Beers category, along with the Boris and Duchy, appearing at various dates throughout the year). I picked one up. We'll see...

Why don't the packs ever include inappropriate accessories - like a hash pipe or some raunchy Hentai or something? Would it send the wrong message?
