info from the bartowel.. The following beers have been confirmed to be part of the LCBO Nøgne ø Brewery Feature, set to be released to select LCBO stores in the week of December 10th: 296871 / Tiger Tripel / 500 / 9.0% / $6.55 296301 / Underlig Jul / 500 / 6.5% / $6.50 296293 / #100 / 500 / 10.0% / $6.65 296285 / Porter / 500 / 7.0% / $6.45 296277 / Two Captains Double IPA / 500 / 8.5% / $6.65
The key word here is "select" so be prepared to road trip or make some trading friends here, if you arent in the "select" area. For newcomers these "brewery features" happen about 4 times a year, not to be confused with the Seasonal releases. Usually only available in the Ottawa, GTA, K-W, Guelph and London areas. If you are really wanting some of these you could arrange to have a case of each shipped into your local store, probably 500ml bottle are 12 to a case. I doubt a manager of a store not on the list would be able to order on his own but if a customer requested it......
LCBO seems to have picked it up one notch - still a ways to go to have US style selection, but kudos for improvement
The prices are great. I think they all are cheaper than heading to WNY for them. (obviously not factoring the gas etc.)
My wallet was just thanking me for going easy on it this year, but with this release I'm going to have some apologizin to do. Really dug all the Nogne stuff last year. One of each here.

Went to the Atrium on the Bay location today and saw the Porter, #100, and the Tiger Tripel. Even though LCBO says that the Two Captains DIPA and Underlig Jul are there, didn't find it on the shelf yet. Bought two of the #100.
