Thanks Greg - the cuvee really bumps this release up a notch and it's great to see it back!
Having said that, there's some other one's I'm excited about too..
A saison
A gueze
Both Schneiders
Phillips' intro to the province
About the only things I'm not excited about are the Celt, the Fullers, and I can't imagine the Shipyard will be my sort of thing either, but I'll give it a try.
Pretty good release for the summer, IMHO.

Our strategy is to include the dry hopped version too.zachariaIPA wrote:Does anyone know if these will ever (or are in-planning to) come back to the LCBO? I fantasize about them daily.
We hope to be able to share further details with this community in about four weeks or so.

I am not sure about the others, but I read an article awhile back about New Belgium. The are currently the 3rd biggest craft brewer in the US, and at the time of the article they were looking at building a second brewery just to meet their current US demand. And according to some quick google research they are only available in around 30 states. So if that is the case with the 3rd biggest craft brewer in the US, and they can't even keep up with their current demand, what motivation would there be to expand into another country?Stroonze wrote:Ballast point, smutty nose, another southern tier offering, new belgium, bells, founders, elysian etc....Oh one can only dream.
