For instance, Ommegang is showing last updated Aug 15, however maybe a store in Guelph/KDub got some in on Friday. I can't find out until Monday?

Hmmm. Maybe I haven't noticed this before, but I always thought that the online stock counts were updated each night, even on weekends. So it might just bit a glitch.

I've noticed a lack of weekend updates before, but typically there has been a Friday night update... I think...

I bought a case of chimay blue last night, and the online store inventory hasn't changed since yesterday. Must be some sort of glitch going on

Another thing I noticed is that when they are holding a case for someone it still shows up in their inventory. I looked online at a Hamilton store last month that had a case of Chimay Blue in inventory and when a friend when to grab some, he was told it was all being held for someone.

I remember that, I think it was more a case of the person ordered it in rather than phoned and asked the 24 to be pulled for him.

If its a even number I usually assume its a case brought in and phone to find out.

The site updated the inventory. Unfortunately, it updated to show stock as of end of business on Friday.

Yes, I see the inventory has now been updated with Friday's stock. Wish it was updated earlier; would have love some Ommegang yesterday! (Much too hungover today for it!

)

Do you work up on the mountain? Yeah, we were looking for some quads for our BJCP study night and I saw a whole bunch of the Blue up there.

No I popped in for some other supplies and checked out the beer section, as usual, got home and checked for Blue and it said they had 24. Checked next day and it was gone. That store doesnt usually get that sort of product in considering that has got to be the smallest store I've seen, in a metro area.

Well, they're opening smaller LCBOs inside grocery stores. I suppose it's a semantic distinction....

Emailed @LCBO to ask for more local/craft beer at store. Was copied on their internal emails. Apparently I have "too much time on my hands".
