So, they're out. Who is planning on getting one this year?

Zac · « **Reply #1 on:** October 11, 2017, 08:32:30 am »

Me! Superstore still the cheapest place?

silverSTi · « **Reply #2 on:** October 11, 2017, 09:24:49 am »

Which superstore in Edmonton sells these? I’d like to pick a few up and I haven’t seen them there previous years.

I've seen them at the westend and the northside Superstore. Way cheaper than Sherbrooke.

I'll be picking one or two up

I can't wait to see the price of these with my liquor discount. Hopefully it's sub-$40

Superstore has them $129.99 or $30 cheaper than Sherbrooke. I picked mine up from their west end location for $138 after deposit and taxes.

Philips is releasing a Snowcase this year! I'm definitely going to pick one up as well... for the wife OFC.

Picked one up from Sobeys in St. Albert for $80 plus tax and deposit.

Picked up the Phillips Snowcase over the weekend. I couldn't justify the pricetag of the Craft Pack for only 24 beer.

Was it $80 bucks? That's pretty cheap for 24!

Yes but the fancy craft one, with craft beers from multiple brewing companies worldwide, was $150.

A good place to look so you don't waste your time. Also, I recommend calling in advance.

Yesterday's ESB from the Phillips pack has been my favorite thus far

Wasn't expecting it but the wife bought me one from Keg & Cork. Looking forward to it!

Zac · « **Reply #20 on:** December 04, 2017, 09:32:03 pm »

I'm already a few days behind.

So you've had Day 1.

Hound · « **Reply #22 on:** December 06, 2017, 08:06:21 am »

Day 1: Shipyard Export Ale

A mighty fine start to this calendar and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Day 2: Nogno 0 Dubbel Advent

Another good beer. It was dark, sweet, and a hint of smoke.

Day 3: Saugatuck Cocanuck Stout

Honestly, didn't care for this beer because of the coconut flavor. Definitely tasted like a pina colada to me.

Day 4: Evil Twin The Quads Are Not What they Seem

Strong, dark, delicious.

Day 5: Naparbier Alien Klaw IPA

Started off as light & citrusy with a hint of bitterness. Ended with an unpleasant yeast taste.
