You sir are a better man than I.

A couple weeks back I brought a six pack of Stone Xocoveza Stout up to cash knowing full well they'd scan the case and not the bottle. This is worth a shot with KBS. I certainly don't condone stealing but if one wanted to improve their chances of slipping 5 individual bottles past a cashier for the...

Boulevard BBQ 2015 marked down 25% at store in Markham (Bullock Dr). The store used what looked like a pre-printed price tag so I thought it was a system-wide markdown but system still showing $14.30 Great pick-up on the Boulevard and Laga 8. A couple weeks back I brought a six pack of Stone Xocove...

Was hoping for old Rasputin in 4 packs. also, weren't we supposed to get Three Philosophers Quad as part of this?? Three Philosophers Quad was Autumn 2016 release so it a...

Ten Fidy has been ordered.

Supposedly, The Calling was shipped to order. The brewery is the one that sent out old product.

What, more Founders? Permanent listing? And did you say, Ten Fidy?

It appears they did. Completing searches http://stage.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/jsp/Prod ... anguage=EN here still works.

Canada Post. And they'll be checking ID's at the door

I messaged Ralph the other day, I'm not sure he was aware of the service disruption. Other third-party sites like the app Elsie is up and running.

anyone else having trouble with drinkvine? Seems like it hasn't updated in a few days.. From Twitter: "It looks like @LCBO has blocked LCBO API from crawling, which means no data updates. I’ll update here as I uncover more information". The LCBO responded that they are working on resolvin...

Question for the spirits enthusiasts in here. I've received $300 in LBCO gift cards as a xmas gift so what would you guys recommend in the way of bourbon/rye/scotch/cognac available from the LCBO right now? I'm sitting on $200 of gift cards will likely keep sitting as there isn't much in the way of...

Anybody know if Cuvee Van De Keizer Blauw is coming back this year? I didn't see it on any Christmas/Winter release list, but I'm holding out hope it will just show up unannounced like the Unibroue 17 I sure hope so... Can't find exact source (think it was Twitter) but LCBO confirmed CVDKB is not c...

Drop the hoarding and you're true blue in my books. Is cellaring beer hoarding? I've put the entire box in the long-term cellar not to be touched for 2+ years. Purchasing a case of Rochefort 10 is hoarding? Hmm..It's great value, it has decent distribution (non-TO centric), and it's a general list ...

Any cocktail fans in here who'd want to split an order of Carpano Antica Formula vermouth? The finest vermouth for Manhattans, in my experience! As far as I can tell, they can only be purchased in cases of six from Majestic Wine Cellars, an importer based in Woodbridge: http://majesticwine.ca/produ...
