Me as well. The beer guy at that store is one of the least helpful people I have ever talked to at any LCBO.
Kirk isnt so bad IMO

@cparker1425 We did a one off shipment to the LCBO. Until our new brewery is ready we'll be hard pressed to make it a regular shipment.
I promise you that the LCBO has 12000 units on order, I check the LCBO internal system and thats where this info is from
AFAIK - 500 cases (4.26 hl) is not exactly a lot of beer, and Central City have not said that this 12000 unit order is yet a 'regular' shipment - so no contradiction correct?

Red Racer's a great fit for our system, plus cans are so light and easy to return!

Surprising.

That's 42.6 hl, or 36.3 Barrels. I'll believe it when I see it.

I have three cans left from the last running...they've been in my fridge and I just cracked it open and can't believe how good it still is!

Cans rock!!!

I hope some makes it to Peterborough this time. I ordered a case whenever the first shipment came to Onatrio but never got it, will I have to place my order again?

Just placed an order for 5 cases.

We've got a new beer guy at my store, so store 200 is now the most craft friendly in London.

The LCBO is the most Len Manning-friendly store in Ontario.
