Unfortunately, it looks like you're right, here's the response I got from Great Divide today.
Great Divide wrote: Hi Jay,

I'm sorry to say that the hassles of dealing with LCBO don't offset our
interest in trying to get our beer to beer fans. The LCBO orders take a
lot of time and effort and we're so busy around here that it's hard to
justify. I'm sure it's not the answer you were looking for, but it's all we can
do at the moment.

Thanks for the interest though!

Cheers,

Brian Dunn

Thanks for checking.


Oh, Sylvia....

That reply should be forwarded to all the widget-counters at the LCBO.

Wow that sucks. I am so bored with beer selection in Ontario. Is Wellington IS on hiatus for the summer? Good thing I'm going to Buffalo in a week.
Sorry had to vent.

Better start trading :( Or there's always the LCBO consignment program...

Apparently Wellington IS is going "seasonal." I believe that's the gist of the conversation I had with the guy at the beerfest.

Damn. That's too bad. I was really looking forward to another order. There is plenty of beer outthere...and yet so much of it won't deal with the LCBO...how annoying.

That's extremely disappointing.

Thank you, LCBO. :evil:

The Castel on King in Kitchener will be getting a cask of the IS in a few weeks. I think Wellington is only making 3 of them. I'll keep you guys posted.
