I wish I lived in Toronto. If any of this gets to Ottawa, I'm good for at least one case. Awesome Idea!! Unfortunately, the brew is being done on our little pilot system and we will likely only get 100 lt. of liquid. We will have a keg which will be served at a TBD event and maybe 80-100 commemorat...

There should be some there. If anybody in TO wants some for the long weekend check out the tiny store at st. clair and dufferin, while big stores were ordering a case or two they got 15. They may have some until next long weekend...
