Re: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Oh man, that sucks. Thanks for information anyway. It'll save me time wandering the aisle of the grocery store hoping it's there. I guess I am going to have to give the SNPA homebrew clone, which is never quite as good as the real thing, another go.

Re: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Bummer. I can sometimes get SNPA at my local Independent (Loblaws) Grocery store. Any idea if that network would be affected as well, I'm thinking its separate?

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?
The one that comes to mind for me right now is Calabogie's IPA. Will be interesting to see if it survives or changes with the recent Whitewater merger.

Re: lcboapi.com and drinkvine.com
I'm not sure who created boozewatch.ca.. but it's not mine. On January 15th drinkvine.com will stop working and I plan to close the site down shortly after that. Creating and launching drinkvine was a really rewarding experience, and I hope in some small way it had an impact on making craft beer mor...

This is an idea which is almost two years in the making, has taken quite a bit of development time, and something I'm hopeful provides some value to each of you. drinkvine has been a labour of love...

It turns out that lcboapi.com was also affected, but Carsten is fast and got his crawler updated very quickly. drinkvine is now using lcboapi.com for some things and crawling the vintages site for others. There's bound to be some quirks as result of the changes. Please ...

Well, I always knew that one day the LCBO would update their website and it would cause drinkvine to puke. I actually expected it come a long time ago. I'll need to do some development and figure out what they've done and what's now possible. I can't get their new site to show me ANY product invento...
