Not sure if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing .. :smile:

Confusing since both the LCBO and Licensees - as it stands now - are BOTH guilty of 100%+ markups effectively.

I'm confused. Obviously :wink:

Is someone saying Jenlain = Macro ? I don't think so. I was at the brewery in the town of Jenlain last year. How big can a Micro get before being Macro ?

I second that.

And the problem still doesn't lie with the licensees (restaurants et al), it's with the fact the LCBO is the ONLY importer of EVERY beverage alcohol in Ontario. Even the imported stuff one find at the Beer Store. THEREIN lies the real problem.

Just a quick plug for SOME of the "beer guys" at the LCBO - you know who you are and most of you probably know who they are - considering the LCBO store system is so vast perhaps they are lost on us but a few of the guys who take care of the beers are wonderfully aware and extremely keen o...

This beer is made by a dedicated small group in Burton-upon-Trent and is highly regarded as being very representative of its style - an original Burton Porter. These are typically quite sour with ashen, roasted malt in the backgr...
