The Bar Towel

Congrats everyone on the acquisition! Lets see some pictures once you gets your hands on it! Here's mine, with my 2009 behind. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/18/photo2goy.jpg I had left about 2oz of the 2009 in the bottle - I hadn't taken any extraordinary measures to keep it beyond tightly c...

Ditto! No glass yet, though.

Coming up on 5 weeks, and still no word from my LCBO. I know, I know, they said 4-6 weeks, so I'll try and remain patient. I happened to be at the store this afternoon picking up some wine, and stopped at the Customer Service desk just to check in on the off chance it had arrived but they hadn't got...

As long as it's not before I get my bottle of Utopias...

Which is your local store? I'm in Mississauga too - I asked for it to be sent to the Erin Mills/Eglinton outlet. Have not heard from them though...

Does anyone know if this release comes with the Riedel glass? Would be nice. But I doubt it. Did the 2011? My 2009s didn't. I went back to my old emails - for some reason I had remembered the glass being with the bottle when I picked it up at the store (the first release in 2010). I'm wrong though ...

Does anyone know if this release comes with the Riedel glass?

woohoo, I finally got one! 20min of busy signals, then 20min on hold, but i was victorious! Congrats! I was able to get one last year. I think even with the media attention, seeing that this is the 3rd release those on the board who are diligent should be able to score one! Agree. I completely luck...

Royal Bank Plaza LCBO. By 7:45 the line up was at least 100 strong. Was told by the cashier yesterday they were only getting 20 units. LCBO inventory says 40. Either way, people are stupid.

Listing at $13.95 on the LCBO site. Happy to see the $16 + predictions were wrong. Now only if I could find a store that actually carries it...

A great beer and great news that they sold out so quickly. The only time I am a fan of 'limits' is at actual events such as CaskDays, etc. Those are somewhat meant for people to be able to sample a range of unique brews...so the goal is getting beers in as many different hands as possible. Black Oa...

Well, I lucked out last year with the lottery, but no go this year. Finally goth through at 9:45, was on hold until 9:58 and was told I missed the last one by about a minute. Damn.

Hi Peter, I've had a thought regarding this unfortunate turn of event and I was wondering...Is it possible that the product was rejected due to bad timing? I mean, I was reading an article that many television stations were pulling episodes of the Simpsons that referenced a nuclear disaster or Tsun...

Wow. Good to see the Star is keeping current! This story is at least 2 years old.
