Cool. This took so long I thought it was abandoned or sold out while I looked the other way for a minute. I still don't find it on the website.

I thought I'd have to bring some back from BC again. I was getting the feeling I'd be out there again before it ever got listed!

Still not showing on the website (two full weeks after Gedge posted the product number). Bloody LCBO. Would have been a perfect beer to accompany today's Canadian Open telecast.

It is now showing up on the LCBO web site, so it is just a matter of time before inventory shows (probably Wednesday)

According to the LCBO website this is the "Red Race IPA." Almost did a spit-take on that one.

Probably had to change it to comply with their social responsibility mandate.

I got some at Cooper Street LCBO earlier, they have 1,000 cans in stock - it's in the fridge with the Heineken etc not with craft beer.

ENJOY!

Here's the pic!

Based on the hop-profile, shouldn't it be 'Red Race American India Pale Ale'?

I've enjoyed three tonight. Such a great beer. I really should go back and stock up.

...well, until I got there...don't worry, I left about a dozen for the rest of you...no, I only picked up six today...Hopefully it'll make it up to Brampton.

Right now in my fridge is some Hop Yard, Mad Tom, Smashbomb, and now some Red Racer (and some Brooklyn Lager just to keep me in check)

Tonight, I've had a RR and a SB back to back...

...pretty decent summer I think...

I actually got there before they put them out...

Nice LCBO lady: Can I help you find anything?

Me: [all sad and sullen] Aw, the guy who orders your beer said he thought Red Racer would be in today...[stuffs hands in his pockets; kicks imaginary stone.]

NLCBOL: Actually we just got it in...A LOT of it...can I go and get you some? How many would you like?

Me: [in my head] - four-hundred!!!. [Out loud] - Oh, maybe just 6 for now...

Grabbed a half case tonight. Great stuff, but I will drink it sparingly.

Any canned on date for these? Can't remember if Central City does it...
