Peter, do you know if the LCBO would consider stocking any of the promotional beers on a full time basis. Is there a number of bottles
that must be sold to make it onto general list or does the LCBO consider these beers only promotional that can never be on General list no matter how many they sell

Hi Kim, you are right the proper beer scene in Port Credit-Clarkson is pretty bleak. There is one pub that I can recommend, it is called the Brouge Inn which is located at the corner of Hurontario and Lakeshore. The only beer that is mildly intresting is the Hackar Pschor lager that I find similar t...

I have contacted Peter Lopaty of Esprit agencies(who are the importer of this beer. Peter told me if I wanted to order a case(which is 12 bottles) it would cost around $50...

Joe, I would be intrested in a T-shirt or Golf shirt as long as the cost for the T-shirt dosen't exceed $20 and the Golf shirt $40. I think the most obvious product to have a bar towel logo on it would be a bar towel itself.
