The Bar Towel

http://boozewatch.ca/virtual-store?id=244376 Looks like someone ordered a case of the Porter Baltique 2013 and returned all but one bottle? Also my order took exactly one week as well. No LTM beers, just regular LCBO stock though. IIRC, those 11 bottles have been sitting "in stock" in Kit...

How does this liquid shipping work during the winter months? This also reminds me of one my pet peeves about online beer shopping. I have no clue about the brewed on or best before date until the beer arrives. simple solution (though a bit annoying and some travel to a store required if you take ho...

Maybe they should spend some money making the interior of their stores a place where people actually want to spend more than 3 seconds in ... Any other retailer with: - poorly lit - dirty - poorly organized - smelly interiors would be out of business in short order. The app ensures people dont have ...

Looking for some recommendations as one of my local LCBOs just got a bunch of new and interesting-looking stuff: Eagle Rare 10 year Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey Four Roses Single Barrel Orphan Barrel Barterhouse 20 year bourbon Tincup Whiskey Bib & Tucker small batch bourbon Blanton's Original ...

Laker IPA LCBO#: 461780 | 473 mL can $1.95 How does it compare with this one: http://www.foodanddrink.ca/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/searchResults.do?language=EN&style=+LCBO.css&action=result&dropdown=&radio=&STOCK_TYPE_NAME=All&ITEM_NAME=olde+english&KEYWORDS=&ITEM_NUMBER...

Sounds like a way to off load expiring beer... this was my first thought, BUT, I doubt the majority of LCBO employees know anything about expiry dates on beer. Few stores seem to rotate stock properly. Just this afternoon I dug to the back of a shelf for a can thinking they would be fresher, when i...

I found a flyer for The Brew Box ( https://www.thebrewbox.co/ ) on my porch this morning. Some interesting stuff but that's a lot of coin. Basically it's at least $5 per tall boy...taken from the Sawdust City $60 example. Their cheapest mixed brewery pack is $70 for "approximately 4 litres of ...

Crappiest product management for their best items. My TBS experience too. They are like a retarded Beer Mafia. Speaking of crap product management and Unibroue. I went into a KGBO store on Thursday that showed the new variety 6-packs in stock. They searched high and low but could not find them. Man...

I'm confused. Are market forces even a reality in pricing here? Doesn't our main retailer, the LCBO tell producers what their target shelf price must be , relying on their own peculiar dystopian omniscience of what is right & good for Ontario consumers who must be protected from too much availa...

Whoa.. this is something... is this at all lcbos? Can a single store in a government run chain have their own promotions? :lol: Looks like the beer crowd isn't familiar with Manager Sales :lol: Although less frequent recently*, this used to be common practice with whisk(e)y. Store managers have dis...

But, for me at least, buying a case of something fairly expensive and in most cases unknown isn't what I want... I'm looking forward to online shopping, but suspect it will also require buying a case of one product (which we can already do by asking the local LCBO for a special order). exactly Unti...

Let them stock what the customer wants. This way the LCBO in rural Ontario doesn't have to stock the exact same products as the one in hipster central in Toronto. Out of honest curiosity what do you think rural Ontario wants? You've hit on one of the biggest problems with LCBO: specialty products s...

That's because when you drink a couple of "strong" beers you're an alcoholic but its ok to sell a 30 pack of Bud "light"
Nuking Fanny State!

That's kinda what the stores are hoping - not the sold out part but - get you in for the beer, then sell you a bag of milk, some chips, ice cream .......
