    Just picked up Fayston Maple Imperial Stout yesterday and it was in a larger bottle with a cork.
    I've picked up half a dozen non-stout Lawson's varieties before and none had been corked.
    Question is, does Sean always cork all his stouts or is he moving all his brews to corked bottles?

    I'm 99% sure that one is always corked along with a few other special (even more limited than other) offerings. The IPAs aren't corked since you shouldn't save/store/age the IPAs. The corked ones are for longer storage/aging purposes. That's just my thoughts on it.

    I have seen Double Sunshine with a cork finish in the past, but not for at least 4 years or so.

    I have multiple 2012 faystons, they are not corked.

    Most regular faystons are caped, barrel aged faystons from 2010 are corked, and i seem to remeber regular faystons from around that time got corked too. Did you just buy this from a store? If not, does it have a paper label with a bottle number?

    I just bought one last Friday from Hunger Mtn. Co-op and it was corked and caged. No bottle number, not even a year mentioned in the label. I think the small amount of 2013 released so far is all corked.

    seems like he busted out the corker to mix things up a bit.
