Ben's article on BlogTO notes that GLB's Thrust! an IPA will be available at the LCBO later this spring. Great news for those outside of Toronto. I hope they still release it in cans at the brewery though.

I would be shocked to find out that a brewery the size of Sierra Nevada doesn't have the ability to treat their water so that the water from both locations is chemically the exact same thing.

Can anyone give some insight about ordering the Old Rip and Van Winkle 12 year? I should order now but more may be available May 13th? Is ordering online better then phone ordering?

All orders will be placed in a random draw. You will not be able to purchase any unless you win the draw. Your odds of winning will not be all that good either.

I kinda miss the days when you had to stand in line at 6:30am to get these bottles. Both are overrated IMHO. Especially VW12. They are good, but the hype is unwarranted. Weller 12 is essentially the same thing for less than half the price.

How does one enter online again? Been so long since I bothered with the LCBO website.

So when do we find out if we succeeded in getting some Van Winkle?

Junction Craft Engineer’s IPA is apparently shipping to LCBOs now.

just got my rejection email this AM. check your spam email folder. read the email carefully because, at first, you'll be celebrating getting a bottle.
but you get the same email if you get or don't get a bottle.
look for "allotted quantity"

I got a bottle of the ORVW 10. It was the only one I tried to get.

0 for 2. It's just as well, they would have likely ended up on the trade market anyways

Who is the e-mail from?

I don't seem to have a rejection or accepted.
