The 2nd pallet is fully sold out.

Thanks for everyone who ordered, you will be receiving notes from me shortly about next steps.

For those who didn't get in on the order, don't fear - Garrison is coming to Ontario this year again - stay tuned!

The first pallet order has been released! You should be receiving your pickup notices from the LCBO soon.

Fantastic news to come home to after a stressful day! Looking forward to finally having my first-ever baltic porter. Haven't even had the Baltika. After spending a bunch on homebrew equipment I had to promise SWMBO that I'd cut back on bottle spending. SHE CAN'T STOP THIS.

I hear you. This gets rolled into last year`s budget and is immune to any new year`s resolutions to curb spending

In the past when I have been told 4-6 weeks, its taken less then 2 to get to waterloo.

I think it basically comes with the next store delivery from the warehouse.

Unless someone at the LCBO in Toronto forgets to put it on a truck and just leaves it sitting in a corner of the warehouse...

My experience ranges from 1 week to (at least) 6 weeks to get it sent up to the main warehouse in Ottawa (Bank & Walkley). Makes no real sense when the LCBO must have a truck coming up here most days.

Just got back with my order. Unfortunately it looks like they were short on Baltic Porter so I ended up getting 3 barleywines and 1 porter in my brewmaster's mix. It came with a note explaining the situation. Everything else stayed the same. I'm a little disappointed as I was hoping to drink one and age the other, but hopefully I like this barleywine!

Thanks again for this, Cass! This was my first private order and it went swimmingly.

Yep, sorry for the inconvenience for those who got the Brewmaster's Mix. We got short on the GBP and didn't want to hold up the order - would rather get it into everyone's hands quickly, and this was the fastest we've had from order to release.
