The Bar Towel

how many weeks has the DFH been in the warehouse?

any idea when the Ontario Beer Safety Cabal will release it to the masses???

thanks for the link..that was timely...I remember reading about the dispute a long time ago...
did not know it only just got settled..

three different brewpubs at the Portland airport...all of them quite good.

Probably the best beer drinking airport in North America.
Although...LAX had a pretty good brew pub....just wish I could remember the name of it.

did brick win its battle with TBS for the right to sell Red Cap in stubbies? I remember it was a long legal fight...

hey toronto blue..LCBO apologist.... so because it is a big operation, it is fine to let beer languish in a warehouse for weeks on end? why is it a radical concept for me to say the state run liquor distributor should treat its customers better than it does? And Esprit...what's with the suggestion I...

scatalogical? do you know what that word means Jon Walker? sorry, but not imploding at the news of a 10 cent increase. but as for retail prices..it is still the LCBO that is inflexible...they never take any action that might actually reduce the retail price. I still don't get this 3 week standard de...

last time I checked...there are a lot of posters doing a lot of moaning about TBS and the LCBO (which I think is justified...). but I get the grief. hopefully the DFH..promised by the LCBO in July...will be here by October...as it sits in the warm warehouse...held hostage by Mao Tse McGuinty's lab t...

are they keeping it cool and fresh in the warehouse?

you're right..it is only beer.
so can someone explain why it has to stay in the warehouse for such an extended period of time? it's not like it's tainted lunch meat..

I will refrain from the personal insults as fellow posters direct towards me..but let's get back to the real world..the real retail world that is.. of course prices are subject to change in the retail world..but in the non-state controlled retail world...there is a thing called competition. So if yo...

we are coming up to the end of the three week LCBO quarantine of DFH...so is it going to be in the stores this week?

no wonder you are called the jester...you just put "the market" and LCBO in the same post. There is no "market" in Ontario...what are you smokin' The price is set by the "state"..... So if you don't like the fact ST is 20% more than promised..you have no where else to g...

I'm sorry..but that's pretty lame rationale for over-priced beer. Why not just charge another 25 cents a beer and make the ST $15.60 a six-pack etc. etc.... Again..at the risk of repeating myself..it was promised at $12 it came in at $14.10...nearly 20% more. If you want to do a better comparison..p...

why is there a limit to changing the price? Is this the Beijing LCBO?

They promised it at $12..there were some screwups wtih the first shipment..so the price was higher. We all found out why.
Those reasons are gone.
Why can't they lower the price? Is it because Mao Tse McGuinty has issued a decree?

no offence...I appreciate the work you do and I realize it's a hassle to bring good beer into Ontario. but that last post read like a corporate press release. ST was supposed to be $12. It came in nearly 20 per cent higher. I read in the National Post, I think it was, that ST wants to bring down the...

I could get better cold beer selection at any gas station in Oregon than at the Beer Store in Ontario...like entering another world. And 64 oz. growlers available for takeaway at the brew pubs... At least the Star keeps publishing stories...good for the paper...maybe they might actually have an impa...
