"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Re: IPL - I would like to try this one
You know, I've thought about this. I'm not sure "we" do (though I'm not sure we shouldn't either). I know a couple of people in the wine import business. Obviously, a huge part of their business is actually knowing suppliers, and probably they don't actually know any exclusively-beer people, but otoh they know distributors who supply all kinds of alcohol. I think I need to talk to them about what's involved in legally importing beer for a group like us. I had a vague idea of the process when I lived in Ontario, but I don't have a clue what's the same or different here. I have a horrible suspicion that whatever happens, it involves the product spending months (at our expense) in NSLC warehouses in abominable conditions.mr x wrote:We need to become an importer....

I'd like to be able to have access to the same kinds of stuff that the guys in Quebec are getting for us. Kick some tires, see what you can discover.

Well, Anita & I picked up two bottles today as we are out in Vancouver picking up her car. If you are ready to pay for a bottle & postage ( thats yeast samples, right ) I can send it out to Chris for December's mtg.

John I would certainly cover the cost of that yeast sample coming east, I could just etransfer the money once you figured out the cost.
