Straight from TDD's Facebook page, almost a throwaway comment: Micro-brasserie Le Trou du diableThere will be some Buteuse at LCBO very soon. And the are sometimes our beer at bar Volo. And we will be at Cask Days this week-end. Come join us! I don't know what *very soon* means with regards to the LCBO but it's good news for beer lovers in ON.
With the LCBO, it probably means the winter of 2015. We were sending a full pallet of Humulus Ludicrous destined for Ontario, and the LC couldn't manage to "free up any warehouse space to recieve it". So we relist in Manitoba, it sells out in a week (again) and Onterrible is hop(e)less for another year. Weren't these the same idjits that went to the Craft Brewers Conference a few years ago shilling for breweries to deal with them?
Will you be trying to send the Humulus Ludicrous again next year? Would love to get it here. The TDD news is fantastic! Ren
Personally I hope not... More for us, and the hops won't have dropped off as much. Seriously, by the time the idiots at the LCBO would have tested the beer, etc... it would have been weak. I just had a bottle the other day from the ON batch, and while nice it had dropped off substantially compared to the freshest brews.
