New Goose Island at NSLC?
So I stumbled across a bunch of new Goose Island beers on the NSLC site, a few days ago there appeared to be some stock of them at the Port but now they are gone.
They aren't searchable by name, I just found them by changing article (product #) in the URL, would be amazing if they do actually end up carrying these:

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
In most cases if they show up on that product list, they'll eventually show up in stores. Wouldn't be a big surprise with Goose Island since we've had Matilda and Sofie before. The new ownership has been good for distribution if not the quality.

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
For sure that's what I thought, it's just I've emailed them a few times to ask if they will actually carry them. They've only responded saying they will having a tasting of Gillian at The Port today (https://www.mynslc.com/en/NSLC-Events/E ... 12-14-2160" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and never mentioned anything about the others.

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
I think I read that Gillian was the only one that passed the LCBO testing. It is my understanding NSLC uses that data frequently

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
Ok that makes sense Todd. I chatted with the Goose Island rep at The Port yesterday and he mentioned they were hoping to bring in more of the Sour Sisters from GI, but they were not sure.
So the LCBO conducts testing internally or with the public?

I don't think that's correct, as there were none left when Todd and I were there @ 3:45 yesterday afternoon. They said 30 bottles were purchased before noon.wcturnedec wrote:Also according to following link there are 5 bottles remaining at The Port:

I believe the testing is more chemical/microbiological, rather than taste testing.wcturnedec wrote:Ok that makes sense Todd. I chatted with the Goose Island rep at The Port yesterday and he mentioned they were hoping to bring in more of the Sour Sisters from GI, but they were not sure.

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
Weird, I chatted with the folks at NSLC and they said they weren't going on sale until the tasting started at 3PM, oh well! Good thing as I grabbed two of the last few bottles then!chalmers wrote:I don't think that's correct, as there were none left when Todd and I were there @ 3:45 yesterday afternoon.

Yes, I think you would have gotten some of the last ones.wcturnedec wrote:Weird, I chatted with the folks at NSLC and they said they weren't going on sale until the tasting started at 3PM, oh well!

By the way, I called The Port, and those 5 don't exist, so it's just slow in updating.
ISO, have a couple of beers that may be trade-worthy.

Perhaps you could put out a call to /r/halifax and see if anyone else has some of the Gillian.
I'd be willing to trade one of the bottles, PM me with what ya got!

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
The notorious LCBO lab. Once turned away a shipment of Cantillon destined for private order due to "Volatile Acidity" - i.e. it was sour. Though they do also check for abv. Apparently they once also turned down Dogfish Head 120 Minute because the abv was so far off they weren't even sure it was the beer it was supposed to be.chalmers wrote:I believe the testing is more chemical/microbiological, rather than taste testing.wcturnedec wrote:Ok that makes sense Todd.

I admit I'm surprised to see they'd turn down Goose Island based on that kind of testing though. Can't imagine it getting through the internal QA at AB-InBev then failing the LCBO lab.

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
Still holding out hope NSLC gets in the remaining sour sisters, as of the most recent (Jan 2017) product list they are listed as "Coming Soon"

Re: New Goose Island at NSLC?
Looks like the NSLC was giving us a great deal on the Gillian....LCBO asking $35/bottle!
