He probably means the new arrivals thread, the coming soon thread and the various seasonal release threads.

The answer of course is that the threads are set up to reflect the reality of what is actually happening at the LCBO, rather than just be a service that publishes what beers are new. If that's what you're after, maybe drinkvine would be more your style?

Website: Order Trooper - £15.60 PER CASE OF 8 X 500ML. (CAD $3.21/bottle)
LCBO - $4.60 per bottle. Price not as sessionable, but I recc trying at least one.
Come on Jonas, that's a good price for the Trooper, when you factor in shipping, storage, agency fees etc.
It's not terrible Sid old chap, though I'd love a more sessionable price - you have to admit it would be cool to have a coffee table full of Trooper empties at night's end.

Still I want to grab a few more. And crank up Maiden shows like Live at Ullevi and Donington '92. Best thing on YouTube!

I think the LCBO threads are great. I just think that having only one of them would be plenty.

^ I think just one big LCBO thread would be chaos, mixing up the discussion of several different releases, of things old new or forthcoming, etc.

Threads usually 'mean' different things, or else Grag moves them together.

Just seemed to be that the same sort of discussions were going on in the three of them here. It's cool.
