New LCBO Beer Search site

Yesterday the guy who runs the LCBO Beer Watch announced a new site he created that lists all beers and ciders available at a certain store:

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

The style of the Beat the Heat is debatable. Black Oak's website says its a Belgian Wit: http://www.blackoakbeer.com/index.php/our-beers/well-seasoned/ . GregClow's ratebeer reviews debates the style also (ratebeer has it classed as a saison) http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/black-oak-beat-the-heat/4193...
