Popular because Smirnoff is marketing the hell out of it, at least if the myriad of subway ads are any indication. Sheep that can't think for themselves.

Have been "fortunate" to have sampled beer from several conetop and flattop beer cans...Black Horse, Dow, something American IIRC canned years before I was born.

Still MIA...bet we don't see this before September (he said, hoping that by saying this I'll be immediately proven wrong with an LCBO listing).

If you've got room for one more, I'd like to be included.

No experience personally, but a friend has been very happy with Purolator and their prices were competitive with Canada Post.

38 Birthday Cake and Netherworld this afternoon at the Brewery Market at Wychwood Barns. Good turnout of folks this afternoon. Unfortunately the Birthday Cake and Bubble Scream one-offs and the SmashBomb went fast.

Wear 'em down one small transaction at a time.

I know it's not the point, but I think that private orders are a minimum of one case.
