LCBO Online Exclusives

Sooo... no heads up on the Oude Kriek today?

[sprague11]

32.55 per bottle on the Kriek. If it went active at 10:00 it was sold out within minutes..... or it hasn't gone active yet at all.

EDIT: Just let me order 6 - lets see now if/when this gets confirmed. If you're on the LCBO site right now hit refresh!

Not just the Kriek today. Three Cascades, two Oxbows, Oud Beersel Oude Geuze and more.

I got 6 of the Kriek, hopefully the LCBO doesn't back out of that order.

Haha....do you guys just lurk on the LCBO website?

Keep6 sent a heads-up to their email list about an hour before these went on sale morning.

People were also posting about it in the Toronto facebook group dedicated to 'rare' beer case buys from the LCBO.

If anyone wants to part with one of the Kriek. I'll figure something out for it.

I got you covered Chad.

Son of a bitch. Just got a order cancelled email from the stupid lcbo for my a&g order. I hate them so much. How do you have inventory, take the order and then realize you don't have enough. Oh well, saves me some money at least.

I second this frustration! Ordered a case of the Cascade Figaro and One Way or Another last week when released, with plenty showing available when ordered, and just received an order cancelled email. I could MAYBE understand one of them not being available, but definitely not both. I'm sure all the usual bars will have no problem receiving their inventory to sell at 2x & 3x's the list price...getting pretty tired of this...

[sprague11]

Just picked mine up. I can breathe again

[Gleemer Imports]

We're putting together an order for two BFM beer:
Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien (11% biere de garde)
and
√225 saison.

By the case only and available at the Toronto warehouse.
You can email us for more information (don't DM here). Order will be closing by month's end.

If anyone wants to split an order of the BFM stuff I'd be interested. I can't do the LCBO warehouse pick up though.

... I could MAYBE understand one of (Armand & Gaston / Figaro) not being available, but definitely not both. I'm sure all the usual bars will have no problem receiving their inventory to sell at 2x & 3x's the list price...getting pretty tired of this...

That sounds rank. How can this be? If the LC really is bumping you out of your hard-earned place in the queue to serve their 'high volume' business clientéle, they are no longer acting in all our interests, instead they are neglecting public interests which is at odds with their status as OUR crown corporation (and one that is a monopoly.)

I mean sure 'life's not fair, yadda yadda' but the Board do have a significant political obligation to be egalitarian about product availability because ALL product anyone can buy on Ontario (yours, the bar's) goes through them. It's for sale here or it's not. They can't simply cut off the offered products to some first-come buyers at their discretion / convenience purely to favor bars & then continue to pretend it's all a legit system.

Tell me if I'm off base here. I'm sure it will all get fixed by Monday since we're venting our views on BarTowel.
