I hope so. London often gets the shaft with these beers and I enjoy plucking them from the beer rich stores of the GTA, and having them available to the beer lovers of the Forest City. I think Hamilton gets even less. Now I see why people give up and just drink the mass market stuff. If you like, I...

Mall Road blows through it pretty fast, that and the Anchor Steam when they have it it stock, actually I prefer the Anchor Steam.

There are many areas the LCBO could explore other than opening liquor stores in other provinces. I mean could they buy some craft breweries in Ontario and develop their own beer based on say BT's knowledge to compete directly with TBS, keep your beer BS we have our own, would this be allowed? In the...

I notice some of the links to the LCBO site on page 1 are broken. For example if you click on the Doppel-Hirsch it comes up blank but if you type in the actual number at the LCBO site it shows stock. This may explain why some people can't find some of the new releases.

Saw the Wells IPA 2L PET bottle today, did a double take. I don't know if thats an answer or not but certainly if my wife cuts me down to 1 a day during the week it is.

Life Lessons learned at TBS

Never return empties to a BS out of the socio-economic area in which the LCBO resides in which you bought them.

Did not like my Southern Tier IPA bottles at all.

Only 2 LCBO's in Hamilton carry SA. There appears to be 4 London stores so I guess until the sales rep physically comes into the store to add the glasses. Seems like our area has been done, Ancaster, Grimsby, Hamilton and Stoney Creek

Of course I went in without the printout of the LCBO inventory postion page but they were really helpful to solve the problem and really didn't think I was on crack or anything. The one employee actually remembered seeing it in the, SteelbackGuy help me out here, "image book"???

It appears that the sixers are not shipped to the LCBO with the glasses attached but rather are added later by the SA sales rep. The rep hit the Ancaster store then hit the Hamilton stores today attaching the glasses. Availabilty while quantities last till Feb 27. Watch the dates June is the new stu...
