Re: Bellwoods Brewery

$12 a bottle for 500ml is ok for me. At $14-15, it has to be a special annual / one-time brew. Above $15 for that volume of beer, it's not something I expect to pay often, given how many beer options are out there. There are some extremely satisfactory options in stouts and porters right now.

pretty sure he's referring to the A&T release years back.
and just an FYI, heard that A&G was listed accidentally. all purchases were apparently refunded and it will be listed again.

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives

Son of a bitch. Just got a order cancelled email from the stupid lcbo for my a&g order. I hate them so much. How do you have inventory, take the order and then realize you don't have enough. Oh well, saves me some money at least. Did you previously get a "shipped" confirmation or just...

I would be all over this if I were near the Niagara sometime. Thanks!! And I recently had an amazing VQA red at an event, wish I ...
