Too bad for wines and spirits

YAH! for beer

Thanks Perry, I will try to buy up the older stock and keep an eye out for the new batch.

I recently noticed that I haven't seen a post by Hogtownharry in a while. Anyone know where he went?

Perry, is there a way to distinguish between the previous taste and the "new taste" cases as I recently purchased a case bb dated July 13 06 and would like to get a "new taste" box to do a comparison.

I'll run over to the Whitby warehouse and look through the window and let you know if I see any.

Mmmm Can't wait too try it, are their any new cases in the lcbo yet? If so what stores would have it.

I usually pick it up at Cedarbrae, Markham /lawrence

I think your giving it too much credit saying that it even resembles ginger ale, I could hardly detect any ginger in this.

I was being sarcastic about the bottle/can

J Gingembre is in a cool bottle/can, how could this not sell?

That is just a risk we have to take "for the cause".

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Are you suggesting moving the product and the shelf tag? I like that idea, wonder if they would just keep restocking in the new location.

I would if I could find a spot that wasn't taken up with macro crap. The Eglinton/Brimley store has a big cooler area but the Macro and Imports get most of the room.

Sorry, I just didn't know if Heritage was already brewing it or if it was still in transition. I'm surprised that the taste would change so quickly, I would assume that they would keep the same recipe for a while until they tweaked it to their own taste, or figured out how to make it cheaper.

Must be the new Dufferin/Wilson location. I have heard that it is a huge store.
