i'm OK with one baltic because I am sharing the bottle as well as the entire mix with a friend. Only just mentioning a few days' heads up would have helped rather than surprise.
Kudos on the speed

If anyone in Ottawa wants any bottles of the Black IPA or Winter Warmer, let me know. I'll be in town on the 18th of next month. Message me if interested.

I believe the barleywine is from the same batch that Cass brought in next year, and it tastes sublime right now, so it makes a more than adequate sub for the baltic. I'm picking up my brewmaster's pack tomorrow.

Nice work on the speedy turnaround!

I have not received a notice either, but I'm sure it's coming. Hopefully in time for the weekend!

I agree. I had just arranged to trade one of mine. Fortunately, he is accepting a Netherworld and a Jacobite instead. 'Cause I certainly ain't giving up my bottle!

I considered ordering this mixed pack and decided against it at the last minute. Glad I did considering that the beer I wanted the most was the baltic porter and I generally don't like barleywines.

I am surprised that people weren't at least given a head's up about the last minute change.

Evidently some of the notices were attempted to send via email but bounced-back, so the LCBO mailed them.

I think this stems from the fact that the LCBO has to copy the customer details off of the order forms manually. Looks like some errors were made in the copying as they were correct on the forms as evidenced by everyone receiving them in the first place.

Hang tight, everyone should get them soon.

Where are you located? I'd certainly be interested and I've got a jammed cellar if you want to trade.

What LCBO do you get your order sent to? Just asking since mine hasn't got here yet. I always get my orders sent to Bank and Walkley (store 243). I think that is the main warehouse for Ottawa. I've assumed that all Ottawa deliveries would go there first, or at least that store would have trucks coming up from Toronto most frequently (but I could easily be wrong...)
