Re: LCBO Autumn Import / Halloween / Ontario Release 2017

Thanks for posting Cass!

Nice to see Ola Dubh back, I was just thinking about it just the other day.

Looking towards trying the Black Ball and O'Leerie Stout.

Other than that ........!

Actually the Collective Arts #4 but I can get that here.

Oh and the Dragons Milk for sure.

I think people don't pay that much attention in the summer. I hemmed and hawed and finally caved and bough...

There is no stock left, all the numbers you see online are holds waiting to be picked up.

Over supply in Hamilton, must have been at least 96 bottles shipped.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Ridiculous. There should be bottle limits on stuff like this so that the people with day jobs can maybe get a bottle or two. I used to have same opinion due to FOMO disease. Now I just don't care. If I happen to get to a store that has some of the latest-greatest-must-have, I'll buy some. Otherwise...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Flying off the shelves, evidently store in Guelph got in 72 bottles and gone by 10 am....so they say. This may be a if you see it grab it because you won't get a second chance. Don't stores only open @ 10am? Yes but...... When a case comes in put it away for me...... https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Some are no doubt being pulled immediately for restaurants. Some stores have stock that immediately dissapears because it isn't making it onto the shelf and is being kept in the back. It's smart to just ask your local what their deal is. Can't wait to see what happens in Hamilton! I say Mall Road w...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

No big deal, $7.25 a bottle. What does everyone pay for a pint out? So buy 1 bottle take it home relax and enjoy it and then cross it off the list and move on. I will buy , I just don't know how many. It depends on how far I have to drive and how many are on the shelf. I'm with Jeff, line up ....for...
