I'm also interested in going splits on a case of two of whatever kind of beer. I'm mostly interested in the Chocolate variety, but will take what I can get.
So how do one sign up to get on this so called private order list? Or have I just done so?

There's no official list yet. I'm still waiting on a response from the LCBO Private Ordering department with details on prices, etc.crushinat0r wrote:So how do one sign up to get on this so called private order list? Or have I just done so?
Once that comes though, a fresh thread will be started with full details on how to get in on the order.

the BCS really hits its stride after a couple years. fresh it's fairly rough around the edges, but a couple years in the cellar really makes it shine. this summer i had an 03/04 side by side with an 05/06, and the older bottle was clearly the winner. i'd love to get a bunch of this and forget about it for at least a couple years. i still have one of those 03/04's left too...lister wrote:I did manage to get a try at the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout at Winterlicious last Friday during dessert. 10%... that made it tough to finish but I did get through 75% of it.
Sorry, I've dropped the ball a bit on this one...robinvboyer wrote:Any news about this??
I did hear back from the LCBO a week or so back, and the prices they quoted where much higher than the estimates originally quoted to me by Fred at Fine Beers (i.e. more than double). They also didn't list all of the beers that Fred said should be available. I suspect that they might've contacted Brooklyn directly rather than going through him.
So, I need to get in touch with Fred (as well as Eric, the manager at Brooklyn who I met when he was up here with Garrett Oliver) to get this sorted out. Might take a while, but I want to make sure we're not getting hosed on this. More updates to follow as info becomes available...
Thanks for bringing this back - I thought that I'd made another post to the thread a few months back, but I guess I forgot, or it got eaten, or something.skaghevn wrote:Not to be a nag, but is there any news on this one?
Basically, I intended to say that I didn't have the time to continue playing the middle man on this one, and since Brooklyn has an agent in Ontario, it probably made the most sense for interested customers to contact them directly. Presumably, if enough people are interested to make an order worthwhile, the agent will do so.
The agent is Fine Beers Agency, who can be contacted at finebeers@sympatico.ca
