@keep6imports: because of the existing LCBO retail requirements and regulations bars and restaurants is our only option to sell cantillon. For the next order we may release cases on LCBO.com

Short of some kind of raffle / random draw this will be sold out in seconds, gonna be a crapshoot like the few other highly touted online-only's that have popped up.

Great for the few that get lucky though!

KBS week starts March 6

I believe if you have a ticket and go to Founders in Michigan bottle pickup starts March 7

LC received their 9000+ bottles, should be 2017, I doubt they will be tested and released before March 7th. No price was listed yet.

"A larger rollout of the 355 ml cans of Lug Tread is planned for Summer 2017 at the LCBO, grocery stores, and select summer festivals"

Hopefully they put all of their beer in cans and retire that 600ml bottle format someday.

I'd certainly give more of their beers a try than I do now. It's been a year since I bought anything from them.

I was tired and quite drunk when I first read this news about lug tread. So drunk in fact, that I somehow read it as Fat Tug was switching to 355 cans. After re-reading and realizing it's lug tread/beaus, it's quite the comedown

Did this get better all of a sudden? The last two times I got it I honestly couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. Did the LCBO get a fresh batch?

people who get excited about Lug Treat in cans are the same people who think Boneshaker's a great IPA

I had Fat Tug on tap last week at the Craft Beer Market, it was amazing. I assume the lcbo bombers are not as impressive due to not being kept cold or freshness.
