    Well something got released today. As such I will pull one of my homebrews from the box. Alright Internet world advise me, should I remove my sour brown ale or the Brett saison?

    Tough decision, but a sour Brown ale sounds delicious.

    Cheers! I'm glad you like it.

    All the stuff that is better fresh was bottled in September (except the Boogie Monster, August 29th). The Narcissism is no more than 1 week old in the bottle. I wasn't sure about what gets distributed to Saskatchewan, so kinda went with either well rated stuff like 10 Bitter Years, or over-priced barrel aged stuff like Matador 2.0 El Toro Loco, Deviator Dopplebock for the bottles from the LCBO. There should have been a Winey Bastard in there too. I hope I didn't screw up and add a second Instigator instead. I love Instigator though, so it would be fitting if I did.

    The Wellington RIS was a last minute addition from the fridge when I remembered you could sneak in a can or two in that space between the styro halves of a 12 bottle shipper.

    Hope some of this is new to you. Cheers!

    Box is gone! Had a last minute addition..... Founders Breakfast Oatmeal Stout. Very good beer. Also one bottle of my own personal creation, hot pepper sauce. I made this sauce a few years back when I discovered hot sauces then perfected it. People at work ask for it.....

    6 Pepper blend

    Ghost Peppers
    Chili Peppers
    Wuri Wuri Peppers
    Scotch Bonnet Peppers
    Trinidadian Scorpion Peppers
    Cherry Peppers

    I blend it an age it for at least 3mths before it is available for sale. Very tasty. Free samples if anyone wants to get together for a beer!

    Enjoy!

    Very jealous of all this awesomeness...excited to see what destroys my front stoop...and as some others have said feel like I should have packed even more goodness into a box.

    Hi Target, I was in a rush and forgot to put the note in about my pick. Please msg me when you get the package so I can let you know why. Don't want to spoil the surprise of who gets the 13.2kg parcel!

    Enjoy!

    Sorry to bother all but.... Hi target the box is insured to $100.00 so if there is anything leaking please make the claim right there.

    FYI you can't make insurance claims on beer. We're still not 'allowed' to send beer to each other as consumers.

    Looks like my box landed today! I forgot to put "Rutager" on it so if you get a box with Brad on the return address, that'd be me.

    Glad it got to you safely! I forgot that the Propeller IPA was at the LCBO recently, but hopefully this is a fresher bottle anyway. Cheers!!
