Just got in and placed my order. Not too bad. Rang in on the 4th attempt and only 10 minutes on hold.

So... how's this getting into Canada? Sadly, I'll be nowhere near Toronto at that time (and me, down to my final bottle of Oak Aged Bastard)

Do you Roland and Russell will be able to put in a Group Buy order?

Me want!!!

Victory Prima Pils

I read on the main page that this is coming in soon as a year round listing. Is this actually true? While there are a bunch of Victory products I'd rather have and, while I'm not a huge pils fan, this one is still nice. Plus, I'd like to support Victory product in the hopes that more come in. Anyone...

I think a better worded question would be...

"Are we still on track for an Aug 7th delivery and projected three week turnaround?"

I was at an LCBO the other day and had a liqour monkey try to tell me that it was in the consumers best interest that they label beers as "Strong Beer", etc. I went into a bit of a monologue where I thanked him profusely for his concern and that the LCBO has solved all my problems because....

What are you guys talking about?? None of the beers you mention taste like a Keith's IPA.

Those other "beers" should really stop mis-representing the style.

Damn you all for getting my hopes up.

I was at Victory (the US version) earlier this year and it was simply magical.
