Most of those are on hold as well. I had a friend go in to try and purchase some.

These didnt' make it to a single store in Mississauga, which is very odd. I had to go to Brampton to get some.

I see they updated the name to 'Red Racer'. But unfortunately its still limited to just 10 stores. I guess I'm off to Buffalo for beer.... again.

After just having been dissapointed by a lack of inventory at the Cooper St. LCBO, how is it that they 'have a missing shipment' of Red Racer?!?!?!
Also the St. Lawrence Market got cleaned out dry, this is just unbelievable. I thought no one actually bought into craft beers!?!?!

For those in Kingston, the LC on Midland recieved 24 cans this morning. There are 12 left and judging by the popularity of this brew in other areas, you'd be wise to red race down there if you would like to grab some. Good Luck.

Brampton is almost cleaned out. Minimal stock left on the shelves...

Any news on when this IPA will be restocked? Seems it pretty much sold out in a weekend.

I was talking to a manager at Promenade today (the 16 cans there are on hold), supposedly QQ has put in an order for an extra 120 cases.

Don't hold your breath - this was posted to the Red Racer blog yesterday:

"72 hours, that’s how long it took for Red Racer IPA to all but sell out upon arriving in the LCBO. Although we’re used to selling beer at alarming rates these days, this may be a new record. Sadly, this is a double edged sword as there is no set date for us to send another shipment out east. That said, with the support shown by the Ontario market we’re obviously going to do whatever we can to return as soon as possible, but make no promises."

On that note - if anyone has an extra can or two that they can spare, please let me know, as I didn't think it would sell out so fast and assumed that it was general list, so I totally missed the boat.

Geeez, glad I got my share. Musta had lame ass hoarders and restaurants buy it all up.

If we had a proper retail model this shit wouldn't happen. Hopefully the case I ordered shows up.
