Definitely. I think I had a 100 ml of it and I'm good.

Summerhill and Forest Hill got a case or two in yesterday but it was sold out before noon today when I checked. Stock numbers on the website and app seem to be delayed by at least 4 hours. I'm sure it'll show up in much larger numbers shortly.

Noticed no KBS today but got some DDC Aphrodite (4 for $13.80 now) and Amager Prairie Tulsa Saison ($7.75) at Summerhill. It was almost like a bottle shop in there today, they had a few ($11) bombers of Stone RIS left and some other fine stuff like DDC Grande Noirceur. The Bench Citra Grove Sour ($11) might be super nice, I was impressed with the Saison they made.

Tried a Jamieson stout barrel aged sample at the promo counter. Not my thing, this.

According to LCBO website, KBS at Summerhill dropped from 2000 to 300 in a few hours, but when I was there around 2PM, there was easily 1000+ bottles in 24-bottle cases, if not 1500, between the beer and tequila (side of the cider fridges).

Somehow, the King S and William LCBO in Waterloo got a bunch of Founders All Day in, looks like a couple GTA stores got some too.

Came across Old Tomorrow Monty's Aged Ryed Ale today (LCBO 498691 | 473 mL can).

There used to be an Old Tomorrow Monty's Golden Ryed Ale. Not sure if this is exactly the same thing or not.

From past observations I believe Summerhill manipulates inventory of high demand products (or what they perceive will be highly sought bottles) from showing accurate on-line numbers. Often they have inventory in the stockroom and/or on the floor and zero shows online.
I believe they do this for two reasons:
- don't want stores all over the province calling them for transfers
- don't want hundreds of customer calls to put product on hold
