Just can't justify the Mill Street, knowing I'll be stuck with a Stock Ale and Organic Lager. The Wit isn't that strong either, but it is more drinkable than the other two.

Er -- it is a ONE LITER Stein that is served in Munich, if they are serving any point at all by referring to the actual Oktoberfest.

Nice way to encourage "socially Responsible" drinking though, ha ha. You could pour four bottles of Duggans #9 into that beast...

To be fair, one litre is not a lot of beer. It is like drinking 2 tall boys. No biggie. No different than purchasing 750 of Maudite. How about those 4 litre casks of wine?

Here's the new OCB mixed pack: http://www.ontariocraftbrewers.com/DiscoveryPack5.php
Wellington Trailhead Lager — Wellington Brewery, Guelph
Trailhead is a Vienna-style lager which is characterized by a careful balance of malt sweetness and clean, crisp hop bitterness.

Muskoka Hefe-Weissbier — Muskoka Cottage Brewery, Bracebridge
Our Hefe-Weissbier ("hay-fa-vice") beer is unfiltered and as a result is naturally hazy. Hops are restrained and this allows you to savour the distinctive fruity and spicy character that is contributed by a special strain of yeast.

Elora Grand Lager — Trafalgar Brewery, Oakville
Finally: a refreshing lager for those who would like some flavour with their beer. Elora Grand Lager is brewed with Canadian two-row barley and imported noble hops, then dry-hopped for good measure. Tired of watery domestic lagers? So were we. You can thank us later.

Devil's Pale Ale — Great Lakes Brewery, Toronto
Brewed with 6 select malts and 4 premium hops. Devil's Pale Ale has a rich mahogany colour, reminiscent of early English pale ales. The wonderful hoppy aroma is revealed even before your first sip, followed by a hearty malty body, and culminating with a pronounced bitterness.
Nice to have a mix-pack to expand the market, but I think we can get all of these but the Elora as singles anyway?

The Elora is available on its own. And it is a Trafalgar beer.

They are all singles and 2/4 isn't good enough odds for me to buy the pack. :D

So anyone seeing any more of these packs in stores? I'm not at work today so I can;t check.......so far I've seen the Muskoka Pack, Mill Street, Erdinger Pack, Stella Gift set.......

We sold 3 cases of the Muskoka pack in 2 days so it might be a tough one to get.

If they start putting their IPA in the packs I'll start buying them. I do buy the Hefe in singles though. That's still good to hear that they are selling well.
