I very much enjoy seasonality from fall through winter. My favourite time of year. I'm imagining there'll be a release of festbiers/marzens etc. as well.
This may be part of the winter or other release, but some more coming soon.
St. Bernardus Christmas Ale - Quadruple w/ spices 10% LCBO #34143
Van Steenberge Tasting Pack - LCBO #254136
St. Bernardus Selection Pack - LCBO #385476
Westmalle Gift Pack - LCBO #34145

I do still enjoy those Belgian mix pack releases. Will be picking up a Bernadus for sure!
I like that Christmas Ale too. But where's Avec Les Bonx Voeux? I loved that beer so much and we haven't seen it in ages.
I'm getting this from one of the more transparent agents. There are other agents that seem like last updated their online presence in 1997. Perhaps from another agent.

Agreed…and while we’re at it, make it the magnum sized ones again
I’ve got one last bottle of the 330ml bottles in the fridge that I can’t bring myself to open.

Looks like a solid list, albeit, a bit short.
Haven't had a Carolus Classic in many years so looking forward to tasting it again.
Always nice to see Founders Porter, wish we had more stuff from from them. All the other looks good as well.
Gotta try St. Ambroise Baltic Porter. At $3 it looks like fantastic value, which is hard to find these days

Just tried the St. Ambroise porter. I think it's fantastic and the best value by far at the LCBO. Only a matter of time before they jack up the price on this one

Saw a few Xmas/winter packs out today at an LCBO in Guelph nice and early:
Sawdust city stout pack-horchata milk stout(which I hate),viva puff(also not my thing),skinny dipping and good to see the return of long dark voyage. I love LDV but I doubt I’ll buy one od these packs, due to the other 2 beers I won’t drink.
Sidelaunch pack that I didn’t pay much attention to, it had some gaudy looking glass with it, not sure of the beers
Leftfield ipa mixer with the delicious Greenwood and 5 other different ipa I don’t remember seeing before
Burdock Ducks ipa mixer pack, 6 different ipa/pale ales
Bellwoods 3 pack and glass. Cat lady ipa, a new Monogamy ipa and Witchshark(hopefully more like the original version rather then what it has become). Kind of irritating that they sell the pack as the glass and 3 tall boys, yet the glass doesn’t fit a tall boy. lol.

Yup, agreed. Still, $3.05 for a baltic porter is something else these days when even a Sinha stout (previously $2.95) is now a sobering $3.75. Anyway, wish we could see more baltic porters as it's such a lovely style around winter. Also, more beers from Quebec in general.
Nice mixer from Bellwoods, just not a fan of that pub glass. A chalice would have been nicer.sofakingdrunk wrote: ↑Sun Oct 20, 2024 9:58 pm Saw a few Xmas/winter packs out today at an LCBO in Guelph nice and early:

I, too would like to see more Quebec beer. Le Trou Du Diable Le Coq Barrel Aged looks to be phantom release.
Interestingly, because the SAQ doesn’t carry much Quebec beer, it is like a dollar or two more expensive than the LCBO.
