I treated myself to an early Christmas gift... Picked up two 750ml bottles of Muskoka at the Brookside Mall agency.

Muskoka Winter Beard Double Chocolate Cranberry Stout
Muskoka Legendary Muskoka Oddity

A bit on the pricy side at $12 each. Hoping they are worth it?
Give a man a beer and he'll waste an hour, teach him how to brew beer and he'll waste a lifetime.

I was interested in those too. Didn't see them last time I was in though. I'll need to look harder next time.

Chris Craig

Hmmm.  I'll be over there this morning.  I'll have to look for them.

I had the cranberry stout last winter and it was very good!   Where's the Brookside Mall agency?  never heard of this, I'll have Jenna pick a couple of bottles

The NB liquor store at the Brookside Mall, north side...

They must just have gotten them in yesterday, they weren't on the shelf yet.  I found them on the floor in shipping boxes by the craft beers (in the cold room). They only had 12 of each.

The oddity is phenomenal!!! I saw about 6 or seven cases at the York St store. (don't worry - I didn't buy it all  8))

So, what would it take for you to give us the heads up when new products hit the shelves?

Got a bottle of each.  Should be great over the holidays.

That has been the plan all along... at this point my mind is just destroyed from thesis-editing.

However, on this subject some new ones at the store:
Innis & Gunn - Treacle Porter
Schneider Weiss - bottle conditioned wheat beer
Youngs - Sticky Toffee Pudding beer
Winchwood - Ginger Beard
Crabbies - Orange spiced ale
Guiness  - Black Lager
Mill Street - Vanilla Porter

Strange, only the Oddity shows up on the NBLC website; the Stout isn't there.

Picked up the Wells Sticky Toffee, the Vanilla Porter and the Muskoka - I'll taste them tonight.
I probably wouldn't have gotten the Muskoka Oddity since I'm so cheap but Kyle put it in my hands and forced me to buy it.
I got the Shipyard Monkey Fist. I think I had that a long time ago but I forget what it's like.
