Late release here in Nova Scotia but I got my #BourbonCountyStout! This was bottle number 5 and 6 from the 12 in total at Harvest Wines, 5 min after they opened 😅

Gonna enjoy one this weekend, and put one away for a year or three.

Haven’t done a #CurrentlyDrinking in a while! Was pleased to see an Amsterdam #IPA 4-pack available at the #NSLC, and admittedly bought it mostly for this one, one of the classic Toronto beers that I miss.

Now to get GLB‘s Octopus down here as well…

In #NSCraftBeer news, Bourbon County Stout seems to have made it to the province in kegs, at least, as Tapestry Beer bar in Lower Sackville has (or had) a keg of it. But no word from Harvest Wines yet on bottles!

I wonder if availability happening after Christmas is going to impact sales at all (by which I guess I mean "how fast it sells out").

@mendel I have heard zero hype about this beer -- in fact, this was the first time I had ever heard it mentioned. But I generally like stout, so I'm happy to give it a try.

Haligonians: anyone know the deal with Goose Island Bourbon County Stout? Looks like Harvest is gonna have it but no sign of release date (and Goose Island's website just says “December”, so it’s not the same as the US)

Quadruple is rather a lot of IPA. And at 11.6% this is rather a lot of beer. Goes down easy though, like a hoppy winter warmer.

@thethirstywench this time of year is dry, lighter stouts and malty English ales for me.

I keep coming back to Lunn's Pub Ale, a bitter from Lawrencetown, NS; Big Spruce Cereal Killer oatmeal stout (Sydney, NS); 2Crows' new Classic Irish Stout (Halifax); and Propeller's ESB (Halifax).

Although my all-year-round classic lately is Boxing Rock's Vicar's Cross DIPA (Shelburne, NS).

Could definitely use some Octopus Wants to Fight out here.

A little birdie (not that one) tells me that DOA and Flat Black Jesus are back at Unfiltered.

Double Orange Ale: 7.5% Citra single-hop DIPA.
Flat Black Jesus: 7% American Stout.

(Aside: I tried a 6-mo-old Mise en Garde from my stash the other day and it was fantastic. I see they have a 2018 available now. Snap that up.)

Less wintery on my radar: Stillwell has an excellent ESB now; Bishops Cellar has Flying Monkeys (ON); 2Crows OK OK OK farmhouse ale is intriguing; I love what’s coming out of Schoolhouse lately; Church and Dildo (NL) collab, Lard Tunderin’ Jaysus

tooting this standalone…

@mattdagley asked for beer recs, and I said:

my most recent purchase was from the LC, and it was festive: both St Peters ales (Winter, Christmas); Propeller Leviathan IIIPA; Propeller Chocolate Orange Porter; and Muskoka (ON) Winter Beard Latte Stout.
