UPDATE. I just looked at my Visa online and noticed an LCBO #910 charge, I think this might be the Great divide deposit. It was processed on the 26th of May :D

I have not yet seen a charge on my Visa for the deposit, so I assume the order has not been placed yet. Has anyone else been charged?

Great divide order

What the hell is the LCBO doing with this order? Surely they don't handle all orders this slow. Is this the normal amount of time it takes them to place a private order or has someone down there just dropped the ball? :(

Yes you are correct, I saw it at C'est what on Thursday, nice handle. I have to say that Perrys handle, I think it was a piece of paper taped to an old handle that said "Black Irish", caught my eye first though, so maybe you don't need to spend a fortune.

Some of the strays are still in the stores...either on the wrong shelf behind something else, in the end bin, in the wrong box in the store room or in an employees stash. Bottom line, there's next to none still available for customers in the GTA unless the happen upon the odd bottle by chance. I th...

Ok, I guess I will keep my opinion to myself as to the new beer management at the LCBO and the summer release.

I think any small amounts as showing in the GTA are phantom bottles that are not really there, I grabbed a 6 from the Pickering store, in the DFH 6 pack carrier and had to inform the cashier that it only scanned as a single not as a six pack, she didn't notice because I also had a number of other it...

When I first saw this beer I read the label and it said that it was bottle conditioned, I looked at the contents and thought "really, looks very clear to be b/c" but didn't think about it much further because it tasted great, I just found a thread on The Beer Advocate discussing that it is...
