No dates to be found anywhere on the can, but 6 months old sounds about right (based on tasting it)

Happy to read that St Bernardus Xmas Ale is getting listed again.
Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come and maybe the return of more winter warmer style beers for the holiday season

Very nice! I'm a sucker for holiday spice type beers, always enjoy them during the holiday times. Will pick this up for sure.

Lets hope we get Sam Smith Winter Welcome back again after a three year absence. One of the best winter beers

Ok this year I've got to actually grab some St. Bernardus Xmas Ale. For some reason I've never had that one, despite loving and buying all their other stuff. And agreed on the winter spiced beers in general, I've still got a bottle of Gouden Carolus Christmas that I've been saving in case it doesn't come back this year.

I was able to buy Fullers Vintage 2023 this past weekend at the LCBO on Innes in Ottawa.

Also I spotted this on the LCBO website, a possible Christmas pack?

Is the Gouden Carolus Cuvee Van de Keizer ever coming back? Really do miss that beer.

The latest Unibroue mix pack at TBS has gone from bottles to cans and has 3 each of Eau Benite, TP, LFDM and Maudite.

The coming gift pack won't be terribly different -- LFDM, Maudite, Saison Libre, and Blanche de Chambly (plus a BdC glass). The cans will be bigger in this one, and I don't think the Saison Libre has floated in Ontario before.

I hope so as well. I just drank my only remaining bottle(2017) on the weekend.

Wow that’s very early for the vintage. Earliest I remeber seeing any of the holiday stuff is a week or two before Halloween.

I could be mistaken, but those Fullers's Vintage Ales have really jumped in price. Not sure it's related to Sapporo or not.

Nice! I've been wanting a Westmalle glass for quite some time, I need to boost my Trappist glassware collection. Based on the description, this is probably it: https://merchantduvin.com/the-beers/wes ... -gift-box/

Yeah, I've wanted a Westmalle glass, as well.

Definitely in for this gift pack!

Made a random LCBO stop today and I was pleasantly surprised to see a St Ambroise barrel aged imperial Porter.
I’ve always been a fan of their RIS, but havn't seen it for a while.
