I bought 4 at Chinatown LCBO, there were 2 left on the shelf. I"ve kept lupulus before in the fridge for 6 months, still pretty damn good. Not much degradation as long as you keep it in the fridge. As to storing it in a shelf, no. I wonder if you were that dude buying those in Chi-town right a...

very impressed, this soothes the pain from missing out on St Bernardus gift packs. Super excited about stocking up on Lupulus, pretty hard to find another Canadian beer that I like more. Solid price on it too considering it's $15 @ Peluso. Can't wait to try the mikkeller and tree dipa. Will load up ...

fall seasonal at the LCBO Don't think that's correct as it was neither listed on the fall or halloween seasonal list. Don't believe me? Look it up. Unless it was an unofficial add on to the list. andrew - it's made year round, available year round in Quebec and also in the States (ie. Whole Foods).

Lupulus is one of my favs for sure, I got 2 bottles sitting in the fridge.

I've paid for $13-15 for mine in general. Wonder if the LCBO volume discount will push it to $9.99 like unibrou 17 or LTM Porter Baltique.

Exciting news.

Corne is far far superior on tap than compared to bottle form.

Yes the beer pricing is expensive, but the food is very on point. One of the best places for a snack in Toronto, they're legit.

It happens, corked wine gets returned often. I would keep the liquid in it just to be safe.

W/O receipt they'll give you a gift card credit.

The two I bought were from King & Spadina, which were fine. My friend's skunked bottle was from Cooper st.

Not sure if listing locations would help minimize risks. I don't think any of the stores got a re-stock yet. I'm going to hold off on picking up some more until this is sorted.

I opened one on the weekend, it can stand to be aged to take away the sharpness, but overall a very enjoyable beer. I'm going to age a few for sure.

On the other hand, my friend also got a skunked bottle. So bad he drain poured it and returned the rest of the bottles he bought.

I biked by tonight and it appeared to be a soft open? Paper off the windows, and there were customers sitting inside enjoying the libations.

Congrats.
