Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

Odds that the Boneshaker is from 2016? I can’t believe they refuse to put logical date stamps on their product.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

According to my local LCBO, CBS will not be sold until January as they received word that the bar code is not going to be active until then. I feel as though this was a note from HQ as a "please stop bugging us about it". When I mentioned that I had ordered a case (and two cases of backwoo...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

We are. December sometime, last I heard. Popped into a local LCBO today (and last week, and the week before) to inquire on status and although it has a product number and is "in the system", no stock is showing in any warehouse as yet, so no store is able to order. It doesn’t show up on t...

Apparently the warehouse that ships to the warehouse that supplies KW had 1400 bottles as of last Friday.

I haven’t a clue what that actually means, but I was more or less told to “chill, you’ll be cool”.

Re: BCBS 2015

I was among the last two or three to receive a bottle, and the reps said, "10:02, and we're already sold out".

I honestly think they were expecting the bottles to last into the afternoon but were pleasantly surprised with the showing.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

The event ran smoothly. The donuts were delicious. The coffee satisfying.

The only improvement I would make on this, an encouraged bottle share. I understand some needed to go to work, but line shares are among the greatest moments known to man.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

Seemed like anyone who arrived by 9:30 opening time or just after got a bottle. Not at all the mayhem that surrounded Westy. Really well organized by Goose Island (not LCBO) staff, with numbered tickets, coffee and donuts, and free toques. Well done. There was enough for second bottles if you wante...

RE: BCBS Vanilla Rye

So for those who lined up for Westy, what is a realistic time to be among the first 100?
