you'd think after all this time the process would be streamlined to some extent

The issue with the delays is an interesting one.
It's a dance between the brewery not having thousands of bottles of beer sitting around and waiting to be shipped to the LCBO, and the LCBO pushing the purchase order across the finish line (things tend to drag for various reasons on their end) to trigger the shipment.
In Oerbier's case, by the time it was pushed across the finish line, we had to wait for a more recent batch of Oerbier to complete bottle refermentation. That added 1 month.
The order was then held up at the LCBO because they decided the labeling was not compliant for the Ontario market ("Extra Strong Beer" was on the label but it was not in French as well, and ingredients said "contains" and you cannot say "contains" in accordance with the LCBO's labeling rules).
What was supposed to be a late November release easily turns into a February release

I saw some bottles at the Queen's Quay LCBO about a month ago when I last stocked up.

Sorry to hear that I had high hopes for the one in my cellar.

HelloLCBO told me this year's Winter list hasn't been finalized yet but that was 2+ weeks ago. you might want to rename this thread 19/20 so people don't get confused with last years Winter list.
In the local store and one of the staff told me he thought everything was pretty much in.

Well that ^^^ was November and I just got a Cigar City Marshal Zhukov Russian Imperial Stout at Summerhill.
Merry Christmas... in May, and I assume this shipment must be perfectly matured for drinking now unless it's a new batch?
Also GD Yeti is clearance priced at Summerhill LCBO so grab a deal if you want it.

I ordered Marshal Zhukov & Yeti off the LCBO site on Feb 26.
