Abyss & Dissident will more than likely be here on the next release. The agent tried to get them this time around but wasn't successful. Alberta will be getting the Brewmaster's Series from Brooklyn on the shelves soon, I'm lead to believe. I don't think they do The Dissident every year, so you...

I've asked before and it's not worth it for the LCBO to transfer anything between stores if you aren't buying a significant amount. They didn't give me a specific bottom line for what's "worth it" but I imagine they wouldn't bother with anything less than a case.

Can we at least all agree that everyone who tries to sell a bottle for more than $30 gets a punch in the junk and not money? Apparently some A-Hole in San Diego is trying to sell an empty box for $230 on E-Bay. I can only hope it is a joke. Is this perhaps an end-run around Ebays restrictions on be...

It doesn't look good for the remaining locations. The subject is already being posted on the discussion forums for eBay professionals. Those people will pay someone to stand in line as long as necessary to get it. Expect to see scalpers' prices advertised for Westy12 within a day or two. Now that's...

Oakville will have 30 six-packs on sale tomorrow (Thursday) morning. They expect the line to start forming tonight and are telling people not to bother if there are more than 30 in line. Good god. This is out beyond out of hand. You know, I told my girlfriend about this thing and she asked if I wan...

I'm really interested in how this release will play itself out. Can't say I'll be buying one since I've had a chance to try it and I'm attempting to save money right now, but I'll be quite impressed with Toronto if it doesn't sit around in the stores for at least a little while.
