apparently there is 1200 available at a Toronto LCBO... maybe they could spread it around a bit better?
I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

That LCBO is attached to a distribution center if I am not mistaken.

I'll check when I get home from work.

whoever was behind me at that LCBO cleared out what was left on the floor. Hopefully they have more in the back.

Queen's Quay LCBO is out now. I was able to get the last little bit.

Man, I am so happy to see this sell out so fast.

Same. A few of my cottage going friends had this up north this weekend - something about canned beer and the cottage. Of course they drank it straight from the can but whatever.

This would be one general list item I would not take for granted.

Drinking straight from the can. At home. Right now. Yum.
