FREE shipping box

I have too many and glad to give one to a bar towler. These sturdy things cost -only asking for a non-LCBO recent beer. I am downsizing my supplies as I rarely trade.

E: Gleemer also had their 3F drop today, of which only the A&G Honey and Oude Kriek still seem to have stock.

Whether the LCBO makes it easier or if individual store owners can bypass the whole LCBO process.
on the federal level, the new legislation to allow all alcohol between provinces should help?

Re: Talk or Action?

This is good news for a few beer enthusiasts who have connections to effectively become beer stores. Its fair competition. It can only be better for the craft industry. The LCBO can go back to doing what they do best.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

On the less exciting side, an IPA from Creemore (ugh) and two new offerings from Side Launch (including their highly anticipated light lager :roll: ) that mean the death of the outstanding Mountain Lager (boo hoo). But a new German Pilsner from GLB offers hope - maybe it will become my go-to Ontari...

Looking forward to the 2018, but with losing their head brewer, I wonder what 2019 holds for SCA..? SCA had the 2017 and 2018...
