JP! I just hope it's not crazy bucks.

wut????
JP. in toronto. hrm. not my personal fave, but i know others love it.
wonder who their agent is in Ontario.

price-wise, history's shown that our prices are low. can't think of a high priced beer. I'm assuming we're looking at $12/bottle.

That can't be true, I haven't seen one cryptic instagram picture alluding to them having JP in the future. :p

all but certain K6 isn't. they would have been all over this. They announced their Stillwater representation prior to its availability in Ontario. K6 drums up hype of the beer they represent, so yeah, doubt this is the case.

a simple call to the LCBO head office will tell you who the agency is, if interested.

You think the Hr Imperial Stout - or Fru Stout?
Sorry, meant HR
Ah thanks. Hr Fredriksen's a good Impy and I like not having to scoot by Premier on the way home to fetch a bottle.

interesting. well, not the website's stupid audio.
if i had to guess, i'd suggest that Jolly Pumpkin approached Intercambl and not the other way around. which means that we may be seeing more JP listings in Ontario. also may speak volumes regarding craft beer growth and how lucrative it is perceived to be. might be more profitable for an agency to represent a craft beer brewery than a winery.

Not 100% sure that this is "coming soon", but I'd bet good money that it is. I mean, why not, right? Just posted by St. Ambroise on their FB:

(For those who somehow can't see it, it's Oatmeal Stout in cans).

Ahhh... please send an email to http://hellolcbo.com/app/ask/session/L3 ... akhxT2w%3D

We submitted our Maple 4pack last year. And LCBO declined it. No reason. :o

Just curious -- would you prefer the Maple in the bottle or can format? I am recommending we keep our "fall, winter, spring" seasonals in bottles -- that being the Pumpkin, Scotch, and Maple while suggesting our summer seasonal (Raspberry) appear in cans. Thoughts?

Regarding the Oatmeal Stout - likely will be in LCBO by the fall.

Cheers,
Barry
