I hope I'm not stirring the pot too much here. Whatever happened to that possible Mikkeller order in August? R&R said that it was probable. Thoughts?

Not at all. We are still busy dealing with packaging, labeling and other system related requirements in regards to one of Mikkeller beers coming to LCBO stores in the near future. One of the objectives was to formalize this opportunity to the point where it is reasonably certain that this product will be coming and that it does not get duplicated through private ordering.

There is another element and we're still not sure of the best way to address it... It is taking longer and longer to compile enough orders in a short time frame to make a private order feasible combined with the fact that for some breweries (Mikkeller being one great example) the demand from other markets is so high that our initial stock offering keeps shrinking and changing week by week. To keep freight costs down and make the time spent fulfilling label requirements etc for this market worthwhile for the producer at least a pallet of orders is needed.

As soon as the current Van Eecke campaign is completed another offering will be made and members of this forum will be first to know.

Cheers and thanks for your interest in beers from our portfolio.

Well not quite what I was expecting, but the idea of one hitting the LCBO is enough for me to keep quiet for awhile. Thanks.

I love my Mikkeller. Seeing one at the LCBO will be amazing, and a private order will also be nice! Thanks R&R!!
