The National Post newspaper recently ran an article regarding the L.C.B.O. de-listing Samichlaus beer.
Actually the Post has run 4 anti-L.C.B.O. articles in the last 3 weeks. Sounds like a plot to me. I'm reaching for my tinfoil hat.

A friend of mine was in Vancouver recently, He knows of my penchant for trying different beer and being a gentleman and a scholar (literally) he often tries to bring back new beers for me to try. He also knows of my interest in flying (physically in airplanes as well as metaphysically with enough beer) so when he saw a beer called "Propeller" he thought it was a good fit.
