Re: LCBO Sale / Star Speak out
My understanding is that the prices won't get much cheaper no matter who sells it, since a huge portion of the prices on most liquor is TAXES. meh. You don't think that massive commercial retail chains might not use their not inconsiderable lobbying power to adjust those taxes inline with the US? G...

One point that dosen't get made is about warehousing and distribution. Even if the LCBO closed all their stores in favour of private retail, I seriously doubt that they would give up the role of sole importer and distributor at wholesale. Except that the report also advocates auctioning off wholesa...

All this talk of marketing to dictate tastes ignores the fact that the majors' two flagships are either stagnant or sagging in sales, mainly because consumers are either balking at paying a premium price for a beer that tastes esentially the same as the buck-a-beer brands, or trading up to more ful...

It's really a very nice beer. I was never able to perform a direct comparison, but when I started drinking the canned version, I felt it lacked a little something from the big bottles - mouthfeel, perhaps? Is this just a quirk of my personal psychology (I have lots of those), or does anyone think t...

Tourism = all those other people crowding and making noise where I just want to hang out and spend money. Traffic = all those other people in cars where I want to drive. A bit ironic isn't it? There is still a HUGE difference between issues with tourists and traffic as festivals get bigger and bigg...

Without being able to see what it is that you are referring to it is difficult to make any sort of comment, but I suspect that it serves no physical purpose and is there purely as a marketing tool. It might be worthwhile to ask at the bar when you next see such a device. It is, after all, not an unr...

I'm referring to the standard wine and spirits Vintages release that is coming up this weekend (I think). Vintages is not selling beer, at least not that I am aware of. Than you for clarifying that. Totally off topic, but do you happen to know where I can find out which wines and spirits are includ...
