Stone FML is tasting great! It has a nice dank, resinous and piney bitterness that's scratching my west coast itch. Can date Jan 5th could be worse.

Speaking of old favourites, the Péché Mortel is hitting the shelves again.

In addition to missing Rouge, I miss Southern Tier too.
That was a fun time.

I miss doing the private orders. My favourite was ordering cases of Great Divide Titan and Hercules. Those beers blew me away back then.
A certain highly respected Eastern Ontario brewer dealing out of his trunk at Toronto's best craft beer emporium. Loved it!
The TK was certainly the most unusual beer pickup; I think the Hair Of The Dog might be the most memorable though. :o

I believe I still have a TK or two at the very back of the cellar. They have long since gone "off" though, unfortunately.

Probably a wonderful rhapsody of flavour compared to my sole surviving Sam Adams Triple Bock.

I agree with you. Not just another juice bomb. It kind of out me in mind of the original Amsterdam Fracture

That is great news, it’s been far too long.

What great news to start the week, Peche is still one of my all time favourite Canadian beers. I can't even remember the last time it showed up in the LCBO, it's got to have been years.

LCBO listing says 473ml can for Peche - that's a big one!

I had a Bellwoods A Stout with Coffee (https://www.lcbo.com/en/bellwoods-brewe ... ffee-30366) the other day and thought it strongly resembled my memory of Peche. Possibly a little stronger on the coffee and a little more approachable at 5%. Reminded me why I grew to love that brewery back in the day.

I wasn't a fan of this beer for petty much the reasons you've stated: At a higher abv I feel like the coffee wouldn't overpower the beer, but as it it's too much coffee and not enough malt to hold it together. For my tastes...

I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

I missed that! Five bucks is a pretty solid deal for a tall can of Peche.

I'm glad you guys will get to try some of the best of what Quebec has, but I found that Bellwoods to be pretty sweet for my tastes.

Solid deal indeed, especially when Bellwoods wants $8 for the equivalent beer (10% imperial) or same price ($5) for the 5% coffee stout
