Cans of this of a newer design w/ production dates in late Jan 2015 are more in line with how I recall this beer was when it first hit Ontario.

Don't think either of those have made it to the LCBO at all, unfortunately. Brewery only. The LCBO has a strange thing with loving bombers and 750s, which may or may not be related. As long as "Single Serving Format, with Table Presence" is given as an equally weighted LCBO purchasing dec...

We must all commit to complain to the lcbo via whatever feedback mechanism they have online... Unless they know it won't change.

Our usage of the site was probably overlooked in their redesign (go figure)... They didn't account for people trying to try bypass their slow roll out of new product

I just "had' the americn IPA Conscience... overly hopped, green, messy sweet caramelly what the heck is this kind of beer. Is it awful? Probably not, but calling this an american IPA is steering expectations WAYYYY out in left field. The two gulps I had before pouring it out reminded me of a v...

Yup. For the 2 Session events, in collaboration with several brewers and many of TO's beer bars, as already stated. So that explains why it's "convoluted". It's pretty obvious that the breweries and brewers involved are pretty genuine about making good beer, so why would anyone's confiden...

We've been informed by the AGCO that it wouldn't be legal for our host brewery to sell our beer directly to an SOP holder since it's not their beer to sell. Sounds like a opportunity for a fancy temporary contract between you and host for any beer destined for festivals to actually be their beer. T...

If i understand correctly, if it's sold through TBS or LCBO it's OK to have at a SOP event... so the answer is to have it as a listed product? Or is it that you need to be listed AND be a full blown brewery They are just saying it has to be purchased through one of their outlets if you have it at a ...
