Craft Beer Advent Calendar now back in stock online. Extra cases from a private order, I think. and the price went down $1.20 from when I snagged one last week?? what brews does this pack contain? All is being revealed daily here: http://craftbeerimports.ca/beer-advent To this amateur, nothing (so ...

new: Mill Street Illuminari (typo?) LCBO#: 489617 | 750 mL bottle $13.85 Another 750? They really seem to have a hard-on for large format bottles lately. I'm a compulsive ticker, but even I have my limits. Same here. Not a fan of large formats I'll buy one 500-750ml of a beer I've never tried befor...

simple solution: Buy the 6-pack. Return the other 5 to the store for refund. Reason: "did not like it" ... "in fact, it sucks" (couldn't resist that one, LOL) Depending on the location/manager you may have to do a bit talking (reasons you didn't like it, etc) but they will not re...

new - $6.. I'm going to miss the $9.95 4/packs of this stuff.. Nickel Brook Bolshevic Bastard LCBO#: 487702 | 473 mL can $4.50 This is certainly disappointing, that's an increase from $0.73/100 ml to $0.95/100 ml. It's especially disappointing since cans are cheaper than bottles to transport, and a...

Is this something that will age reasonably well ... or best consumed fresh?

It undermines their guiding 'principle,' such as it is. Ah well... KGBO is one of, if not THE, biggest advertiser in the province (country). Last time I checked the goal of advertising was to get people to buy more (and/or to build brand loyalty) ---- ahhhh if that doesn't go against their "gu...

Hmm, I wish LCBO had regular rotating discounts on beer like they do with wines They do have regular rotating sales on beer: http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/catalog/ale/11022#contentBeginIndex=0&productBeginIndex=0&beginIndex=0&orderBy=&categoryPath=beer%2Fale&pageView=&resultType=...

Why is this on discount? There seems to be plenty of stock in different stores but checking shows virtually all stock gone where the discount was available. Is this just manager's discretion, random criteria? Yes, they are Manager Specials - at discretion of manager, I believe to clear stock that m...

...Or get a case of Rochefort 10. ;) Have your unopened beer and drink it too. I like this idea. Instead of spending $113 on a beer that tastes like Port/Sherry/something other than beer, I picked up a second bottle of this: http://www.foodanddrink.ca/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/searchResults.do?language...

I'm betting they sell every bottle they list within a week. Sold in cases of 12, all it takes is 4 people willing to part with $216. Not a bad bet in a province of 14 million people. $4000 bottles of Port Ellen, OTOH, take more than a few days, LOL http://www.foodanddrink.ca/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/d...
