The pre-Christmas release that they did (three different beers) was via online sales only and by the case of six, but the bottle price broke down to $24.05 each. Would guess that it will be similar/the same.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

CBS back on the website and showing stock at a bunch of lcbos Yep, it would be pretty sweet if I lived at Yonge and Wellesley. I would be within a couple of kilometres of over 20% of the provincial allocation. Still waiting for more than a case or two to show up in the entire west 905. Including at...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

There's 5 ottawa stores showing inventory online.. for me anyways The two Ottawa stores showing inventory are the least likely stores you could possibly imagine. Oh well. Rideau had 800 bottles at opening this morning nothing showing online. It depends on whether you use the website or the app - di...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO
