I thought it was mostly about warehousing and shipping conditions rather than in-store?

I would have preferred this in 6-packs/cans, but I'm happy this is coming to the LCBO. Excellent beer.

Easy enough to find in Buffalo, or really any good American liquor store, if you can drive. Otherwise you're stuck trading with someone else who has one.

Pretty sure you can only order products through the LCBO that they actually carry/have a distributor in Ontario, not just anything.

I find that English styles just don't do a lot for me. I definitely wouldn't rank Granite in my top 5. My top 5 goes something like this: 1. Bellwoods 2. Amsterdam 3. Great Lakes 4. House Ales 5.

I think Amsterdam and Great Lakes can, for the purposes of this thread, be considered GTA. How often do their limited release/one-off beers make it out of Toronto?

Certainly an interesting beer to start with, sets them apart from all the other startups and their lagers and ales.

Brut barely appeared in Toronto, so don't feel too bad about that one.
