Are they really that much better? I just can't see it enhancing the beer more than the glass I normally drink IPAs out of (tulip). Plus your hand would warm up the beer with this glass, whereas I prefer IPAs on the cooler/cold side. I bought one while in Seattle last month and it ran me just under ...

I would've liked to have tried it, but you are right it is expensive. Also, I've bought a lot of beer recently, so my cellar is pretty full. If you are into the sours and can get over to Michigan, the have been getting in some good stuff from The Bruery. Where in Michigan do you typically go for yo...

So I talked to Tomas at Keep6 and he confirmed that LCBO can transfer orders like this free of charge, the only downside being that it would take an extra 2-3 weeks to receive the order. Unfortunately, it looks like we only have interest in 8 of the 12 bottles as of now, today being the deadline for...

Grub - thanks a tonne! Really appreciate the offer. Any chance you'd be interested in splitting the case with us? how many do you have allocated so far - ie: are you looking to offload a few or only have a few and need a bigger cut? I could probably jump in on a couple, but haven't checked with the...

This just in from a fellow Bar Towel-er: "This can be shipped to any LCBO in Ontario for pick up free of charge. ie. I'm hopefully getting my cases sent to my local LCBO for pickup." So, if shipping it here isn't an issue, who's in!? Looks like 6 bottles are spoken for, with another 6 stil...

Anyone know whether a private order such as this could be shipped by a Toronto LCBO to, say, a Windsor LCBO, free of charge? Or can this only be picked up at Keep6 in downtown TO?

I'd probably be in for 3 bottles, but I have no way of getting it from Toronto. And therein lies the rub! Is there anyone from Windsor/Essex who CAN pick this up, or have it delivered, from Toronto? If not, Raisy, there's a fellow from Toronto on Bar Towel who told me he makes his way down to Winds...

Thought I'd re-post this here, so that there's a better chance Windsor-Essex County residents will see it: Keep6 imports in Toronto is ordering in the beer described below. As a sour beer enthusiast, this one certainly appeals to me. In case I didn't copy and paste the information properly, you can ...

I know this is a long shot, but if anyone in WINDSOR/ESSEX COUNTY area is interested in splitting a case, and could get it here from Toronto, I'd be down for 3 bottles.
