Message Travlr beers 33878 º places 4582 º 05:32 Mon 7/14/2014 Just in case anyone is interested in obscure country ticks, the sole brewery of French Guiana is doing an apparently one-time export of its Weiti beer (a Belgian wit) to Canada, although it doesn’t say exactly where: https://www.facebook.com/brasserieguyanaise http://www.lekotidien.fr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4050%3Aquand-la-guyane-sexporte-au-pays-des-trappeurs-et-du-sirop-derable&catid=12%3Aguyane&Itemid=101

The article is pretty vague, but I would assume so. Not thinking so. He got an email in English. Can’t imagine why SAQ would email a French colony in English. A 24 gift pack of different country ticks? Sounds like Alberta to me. But we’ll see.

So, here’s the info on the Advent Calendar: http://www.craftbeerimports.ca/craft/beeradvent-calendar.php Looks pretty interesting. But it says that to obtain one, just "talk to your local retailer." So how does a foreigner like me get his hands on one?
Message dresden beers 1581 º places 119 º 14:54 Mon 7/21/2014 Short of trading, not sure. It’s developed a bit of a cult following. Many stores do deposits to ensure you get one now. I dont know the distribution, but I know it was available in BC, AB, SK last year.

Many stores do deposits to ensure you get one now. I dont know the distribution, but I know it was available in BC, AB, SK last year. Hmmm. The next question is what else is in there. I know the Vancouver people are down for 24 new interesting beers. But how do I know I’m not just going to get 24 different versions of Corona? What was in the box last year?
