Re: All seriousness aside ;)
I was asking at Cooper Street about Hopfen Weisse, and apparently this one is now being pulled from the release. Inquiring further, there is a problem in the system with the product having both "Brooklyner" and "Schneider" on the label and - get this - since these are TWO distin...

What conspiracy theories pal? My post clearly stated that they're probably doing this randomly without any thinking and that's exactly what you've confirmed in your answer.Thanks. My suggestion was that they probably should put some thought in deciding where these beers appear first. And considerin...

Yeah, cause that was their nefarious plan all along. :roll: :roll: So I guess they did it without any contemplation at all. Probably picked the store out of a hat. Kind of fits with their pattern of doing things. Since you seem to work for this antiquated outfit, its small wonder you're one of thei...

I was talking to the Summerhill Silly Servants, and they were mentioning some internal talk about some independence of local stores in order to serve (read: maximize) local area needs/ethnic preferences..how this feeds up into their buying for the system I am not not optimistic, however, it COULD m...

They not about to start hunting down the top beers and bending over backwards to import them. this is precisely what they ought to be doing. Its part of their job to import quality products so that taxpayers who pay their inflated salaries can get the best bang for their buck. Nothing naive about t...

What was the issue with Orval not meeting packaging requirements? the carton was not LCBO approved, something to do with how the bottles were seperated from each other if i remember correctly Which is no excuse as all agents and suppliers know the packaging regulations as they are all laid out quit...

Too bad they couldn't squeeze in Westmalle T. They bring it in for one season, teasing us with it and then pull it off the shelf. Bastards!!! Kind of a flat selection. Who makes these decisions and don't they ever visit beer rating sites when considering new comers? Also, are they in a habit of mak...

Good beer. Slightly over priced. How so? compared to? Most beers in this size format seem to be $5 and change range with a few exceptions (like Chimay premiere). A similar beer like Southern tier's IPA (which I feel is better) works out to like $2.20/ small bottle. Anyways, its a minor gripe. Just ...

I live in Mississauga closer to the airport. Would be open to splitting with anyone in the area or in the GTA. I did not know TBS had Unibrou. Great. Now I can try Trois Pistoles for the first time! I see that they also have Delerium Tremens which I would also like to try. Its in keg format so its p...

If you can find some people to split a case with you (or can afford one yourself), pick up some rochefort 10 and st. bernardus 12, both great belgium quads available from esprit. Also worth picking up some 6 packs of the unibrou products (maudite, trois pistoles), and letting them age a bit. Can't ...
