According to the notice:
Your order can be picked up and paid at the LCBO Private Ordering Service Centre located at 33 Freeland Street in Toronto. Out operating hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, excluding holidays.
Not exactly ideal hours for people with jobs. Works out alright for those on parental leave though! Looks like baby will be making his first trip to the Queen's Quay LCBO tomorrow.

Thanks, ya, I expected the hours to suck, which is why I asked. At least for me I can walk there on a lunch break, drop it off at home, and make it back to work within an hour (assuming it is quick service there). I was hoping I could pick it up after work today though.

Great that it has arrived, thanks to everyone for their patience. It was a long road with this one.
Thanks for making it happen Cass. Looking forward to it.

Did we agree to go halves on a case of the IPA?

Just having my first sip of the Imperial IPA now... excellent! Thanks Cass!

This makes me (almost) forget the annoyance of picking up the beer earlier today... which ended with me just grabbing the box and walking away while the LCBO employee saying I still needed to sign stuff. The system they have there is clearly set up for businesses doing large orders, not individuals trying to pick up a single box.

Was expecting the Jalapeno in my Mix 6 but they replaced it with the Hop Yard Pale Ale.

Little disappointed as I was really looking forward to the Jalapeno but the Hop Yard is a darn good beer and acceptable replacement I suppose.

If you're in Toronto I've got a couple of Jalapeno's I'm willing to part with.

I thought the original 6 pack included Hop Yard and Jalapeno, as well as the Tall Ship Amber, Nut Brown, Raspberry Wheat and Irish Red Ale.

Which one did they replace then?
