For all my gripes about the LCBO sometimes, just sometimes, their buying power gives us some great deals. Even the prices we get on Belgian Trappists and a lot of imported specialty beers on a regular basis are as good as anywhere else.beerstodiscover wrote:This price is bizarre. Sam Adams states the MSRP is US$200 (C$260) and LCBO sells it for C$110. Perhaps LCBO gets a better price by buying 588 bottles, but I suspect anyone selling it for the US$200 is making a very healthy margin if the LCBO can profit at less than half price.

I had an oz at that Burger bar formerly in Kensington Mkt. I tend to agree, the hype is (for me) exponentially beyond the quality of the experience, but that's exactly the thing - there are always diminishing returns on extra-premium products. You just have to appreciate the small positive differences that much.Craig wrote:I argue no, but they sell out every year so I'm sure lots of people argue yes. Instead of buying a bottle, I went over to Folly and ordered an ounce for I can't remember how much they wanted, but it was less than $20 bucks. That ounce was pretty much all I'd ever want. It's fine, just not really my thing.Esquandolas wrote:$111 sure is a lot for 710 ml of delicious beer. Worth it?
Mind if I ask when you ordered yours?Esquandolas wrote:Anyone grab any of those De Dolle Oerbier's that popped up online a few days ago? Brought in by Gleemer Imports, and disappeared pretty quickly. I got a few of the normal ones (i.e. not the Reserva). Looking forward to trying these babies out! Anyone had 'em before?

Fri Nov 9th, in the morning I think. I got an email that afternoon saying that the order has shipped. Haven't received the shipment yet.El Pinguino wrote:Mind if I ask when you ordered yours?Esquandolas wrote:Anyone grab any of those De Dolle Oerbier's that popped up online a few days ago?

I ordered both the Oerbier only a couple hours after Gleemer tweeted about them. But when my order shipped neither Oerbier was included. The website stock showed dozens of bottles of each still at the time....so kind of bummed the LCBO might not have processed orders in "order" so to say.
Nice one....enjoy the brews....I guess I ended up saving some money in the end, so that's a positive.Esquandolas wrote:Fri Nov 9th, in the morning I think.

Bummer man!
Ditto for me, I ordered, received order confirmation but on my shipping notice I see that I was short shipped, the De Dolle beers were not included.Esquandolas wrote:Fri Nov 9th, in the morning I think.

Looks like it, I checked my receipts, paid the $27.25 back in March.distr0 wrote:CASCADE SANG ROYAL '16 - https://www.keep6imports.com/shop/sangroyal
Keep 6 site says the price is $27.25 but lcbo.com is showing $35.60! That seems way more expensive than prior cascade bottles, no?
