I bought a bottle of Black Creek Pumpkin this morning at Clarkson(Mississauga) with no trouble. You probably just got some lazy employee that didn't want to search for your "fancy" beer.

3 months for aging and it costs $90? I think I'll pass, I like a lot of wood in my whiskey and I'm sure there's better drinks at that price.

Here's hoping for some decent distribution, although at this point I've just about given up on these features.

Yes. It might not matter that much for beer, but when buying wine or spirits it can help determine what vintage you're actually getting since the LCBO tends to give some items the exact same name.

Not really, pretty much every six pack is $12-$13 and the nine pack was priced exactly the same($2 per beer + $1).

Anyway I'm happy it's available as a six pack. I probably won't buy it again, but at least it's more accessible to others.

Thanks Ralphus, it's working again.

I don't know if this is the right place, but I think the admin(s) post here and it's easier than tracking down e-mails. Basically the problem is that the inventory for spirits hasn't been updated in some time. Beer seems unaffected and I'm unsure about other drinks. Thanks to anyone that can get it ...

For LCBO offerings I recommend Williams (#173039), the price is decent compared to other ciders and it's Canadian made.

It'll probably show up at Elmcreek even though it isn't on the list of stores. It really should be though, Mississauga is almost at 800k people and we get one store? Plus for those of us in the south end, Meadowvale might as well be on the Moon.

My concern with the bombers was that even if you find people that like them, they might be disillusioned very quickly when you tell them it's only available in a few stores for a limited time. This is why I recommend Beer Store offerings. Almost all of them(in the cities) offer at least a few Ontari...

Going to have to go against most posts and say that I think $10 seasonal bombers are a bad idea. If you're trying to convert people to craft you'll want something a little more accessible, not beers that require you to go on some adventure and watch inventory. Basically stuff you can get at the Beer...

Seriously as someone that also buys spirits, I'm glad I'm not in BC. I'd much rather be in Alberta.

Well I'm not going to complain about there being better selection at the LCBO.

Is this some kind of sarcastic remark? I'm trying to help the people in Mississauga because most of what I mentioned wasn't in the online inventory at the time, and we only have three decent stores to serve 750K people.

Saw plenty of these today at Dundas & Mavis:

- Garrison IPA
- Celt Bronze
- Funnel Blower
- Fuller's 1845
- Goliath
- ST Choklat
