6 pack of breakfast stout! Sweet. (Normally a 4 pack) I think they recently changed Breakfast Stout to 4 packs. So it's not an Ontario-specific thing. i think you meant to say they recently changed it to a 6 pack, and yeah, you're right. they announced sometime last year that it'd be in 6 packs whe...

same format? i think this would benefit from being in a 6'er like the rest of their lineup... and also being a the lower price (5.95, IIRC).

ISO: Bellwoods Fruit Helmet #2 FT: Bellwoods Fruit Helmet #1

Looking for a 1:1 in person swap in order to get a single of the 2nd Fruit Helmet batch this summer in exchange you'll get the 1st batch. The 2nd was the variant with Goji and Pineapple, the first was Mango and Apricot.

Toronto or surrounding area, preferably west end.

PMs preferred.

The sell a skid mentality appears to be short sighted as if you sell it and product sits on the shelves (no marketing to s...

... includes the size of the product as well. I'm sure their margin of profit is bigger on large format bottles. Larger bottles also allow for larger labels and therefore may increase the chance it's seen by casual 'grab something new' purchasers... just a thought, no basis to this suspicion. Andrew

I'm glad we're still seeing stock...website announced a bit of a pull back on expansion due to some delays in brewery expansion.
