Because Leafs fans are doing what they can to keep the Senators fans down. Don't worry about it. You'll get the beer eventually, and as an added bonus, you'll never have to sacrifice your pride to the blue and white!

The past couple of releases have been slower than usual to make it to the Ottawa region. Also, some, like the Southern Tier Pumking, only showed up in very limited supply. ...I think about 36 of the Pumpkin arrived. This makes for some very bare shelves as 36 bottles does not go very far in a population of 1 million people.chico wrote:How come that the Southern tier crème brulée - Marston's oyster stout - Lava smoked imperial stout - Meantime coffee porter are not available in the ottawa region?
Obviously, keep your eye out for new arrivals as some have showed up almost a month after TO.

I concur wholeheartedly with this post. With several brewpubs open, and with the massive selection of Quebec beers now available, the Ottawa beer market is very healthy, and a shipment of 36 pumpkings and little to no Choklat is insulting to say the least.Zuma wrote:The past couple of releases have been slower than usual to make it to the Ottawa region.

No word on the St B, but rest assured if you want some contact me, and I will poach it from GTA stores at their expense.
