Saw that the other day. There were some in an LCBO in Toronto too - mostly likely someones online order waiting for pickup apparently.

Those are pretty reasonable responses for the most part. I'm still a bit skeptical about how effectively some of those considerations will get implemented but maybe Im just a cranky pants They have at least considered that stuff which is a good start. We shall see!

Aiming to try a beer from every Ontario brewery by the end of the year. Officially I set the cut off for breweries open prior to January 1, 2018 but I'm still trying the new ones too where I can. Anyone have any of these to trade or able to get some? IP Toronto preferred but wiling to do mail trades...

The line up looks great. I had a great time last year and have had this on my calendar since they first announced the date. I doubt I will be going this year. Maybe I'll change my mind, the lineup is certainly tempting. We shall see. That's a steep price point that I assume is reflective of what it ...
