Canada, ON: Mill Street Brewery releases 2012 Barley Wine and begins distribution of Cobblestone Stout at the LCBO

Mill Street Brewery announced on October, 25 the release of the 2012 vintage of Mill Street Barley Wine and the retail debut of Cobblestone Stout at the LCBO.

This year’s edition of the Barley Wine is a 11.5% abv strong ale that was aged in bourbon barrels, a first for the beer. It’s being released in a limited run of 500 ml swing-top ceramic bottles with wax seal.

Joining it on the shelves will be Cobblestone Stout, a previously draught-only 4.2% abv stout that is now available in 440 ml cans. Similar to Guinness and several other canned stouts and ales, the can includes a widget that releases a 70/30 mix of nitrogen and carbon dioxide when the beer is poured, giving it a smooth and creamy body similar to draught stout.

Both beers are on their way to LCBO stores now, and will start appearing on shelves in the next couple of weeks.
