Cool. Like I said, my bad. Thanks for clarifying though. Things just seemed to be getting out of hand lately, and I think we all need to stick together. We're all after the same goal, no matter who we are or what we do. Though the fact that I am a lesbian might cause trouble from time to time. it's...

Stone Smoked Porter

hmmm...not sure what to think about the smoke...

Their bottles are awesome looking. How could you smash them? The beer store are like barbarians or something... try a google search to see their bottles, I don't see any on their web site http://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=bEz&resn...

This is an older article from April I stumbled upon. I couldn't find a link anywhere here after several searches, but if this has already been posted I apologize in advance. (there is a post about a Beau's article but the link goes to the ottawa citizen which has taken the story down it seems) http:...

if avoiding the LCBO except for when it is convenient, and buying only seasonals and their better offerings, then I think it's safe to say that the majority of people on this forum are already "boycotting" the LCBO. All we lack is a Facebook group and a thread on Bar Towel about it. hahah...

Well it certainly is a drama... 1) Buy up as much of the GOOD beer the LCBO brings in 4) Lobby your M.P. to allow two-tiered liquor Done that 2) Buy your beer directly from the brewer. Doing that. 3) Lobby the LCBO to expand certain categories Haven't done that. As for comments about it being a PART...

You guys are cracking me up. I think a couple of you might want to take a break from alcohol. This is one of the most grumpy forums I have ever been on. Even arguing politics and religion has gotten me more polite responses. But won't that make you "feel a bit guilty about choosing convenience ...

For sure, like I said, I will most likely be dropping into the LCBO every other month to maybe buy some new seasonals, maybe a few good beers. So in what way is this a boycott? because every other month I won't be buying anything at the lcbo-bs I'm not sure bimonthly-boycott is as sexy a word

I know over the past few years the avalability of quality beer has gone up at my local LCBO's. It still has a long way to go though. So by buying the beer I enjoy from them I hope to keep this trend going. Good luck with your boycott. :) For sure, like I said, I will most likely be dropping into th...

wow, I'm a douchebag for not selling my beer to someone who won't go get their own?
or because I made fun on Ontario?

Ha! Any beer I bring back to our conservative socialist motherland of Ontario is for me me me me me.

I was at the Phoenix to see Devo last night...that's the band with the flower pot hats who are in their 60s...

anyway, when the selection is sooooo bad, I always choose a beer that tastes the least like a beer...so last night, it was coors light...

Right, that's why I've started it up. It has to start somewhere. You didn't start it. These kind of grass roots protests have been attempted many times before, both here and elsewhere, and nothing has changed. Whether people like the existing system or not (or are indifferent like the vast majority...

It's a pointless exercise to "ban" either the LCBO or the BS for any duration of time. Not at all, I will quite enjoy it. Neither corp will be affected by the absence of a small minority of customers and really nothing quantifiable will be achieved beyond denying yourself some decent beer...
