Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

LCBO and Goose Island definitely both worked on the event. LCBO social media manager was there and the summerhill store manager was also there, both engaging with the Goose and Breakfast Television folks. Hope to see more LCBO coordinated releases in the future, easy location to get to compared to Q...

I wish. I expect an awesome blog post to read about your experiences there though!
