I went to order some more stock for my own location and discovered that the entire supply has been shipped out already, the warehouse (at least the GTA's) ...

All the beers in the release are now searchable online. Not many are showing any inventory. I had to admit i did get a bit excited when i actually saw Dieu Du Ciel pop up! I was happy I checked before the order got out on Friday, meaning, I should have it on the shelf Thursday, pending them actuall...

Inventory is starting to show up for Hofbraeu Oktoberfestbier: http://lcbo.ca/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/inventory/searchResults.do?language=EN&itemNumber=84889 I think the reason for the delay was broken bottles, I had one case with glass all over the bottles, and two that were re-packed in the war...

The LCBO should thank and bonus all of their employees for the hard work they did. Without them, sales would never continue to grow at such an amazing rate. Good work! :o HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......I give up on that...at Christmas we get a form letter saying thanks for all the hard work, then t...

Yes, sorry. I did not convey my thoughts properly. What I meant was that I can't get DDC at Ryan's Party Store in Port Huron. A 45 minute drive for me, as opposed to the 2.5-3 hours to the Detroit area.[/quote] Is that the store across from the cemetery in Port Huron, near the lakeshore? When we go ...

They don't do nearly enough to promote Ontario Brewers unless your name starts with Molson or Labatts. I've raised the point before to my manager etc that we go all out of the way for Ontario Wines (not that we shouldn't...the public perception of them is horrible), but NOTHING special is done for t...
