r&b sun god

this is by far far my fave beer right now, but problem is that they don't bottle it as of yet so i am forced to satisfy my cravings by having it at the very few pubs that serve it around town, i"ve only found 3 places so far, so my question is for those familiar with sg what would be the closest thing to it that i can buy bottled, i've tried a few others eg. granville island hefeweizen and while good its a little too viscous so not as crisp and refreshing

    The new place on Commercial Dr, St. Augustine's, has it listed on their online menu. Looks like a place worth checking out. Lots of taps, rotating casks, and a sampler of 4 offered for $8.

      I really should check St Augustine's out as I live in the 'hood. I haven't been compelled because the restuarants that have occupied this location were all fairly mediocre. But if they have a sampler set for $8...I'm in!

        Bandidas, a veggie Mexican place on Commercial near 12th, has it.

          whare abouts are you?? Cancuk or I should be able to tell you many places that have Sun God on tap.

          I've never had anything like Sun God in a bottle. That's why they don't bottle it....

            i'm downtown, i checked out r&bs website and basically called about 95% of the places they list as serving their product and only 2 (hamilton street grill and subeez) actually have sun god and the other wasn't even listed (st.augustines) i just stumbled upon, hope you can help, cause having to get my fix from a pub can get pricey, ps i've also had the pleasure to quaff it on the patio of molly's in gibsons, but thats a long way for a pint

              The Fish House in Stanley Park used to have it regularly.
