These limited one store release events are bullsh*t - there is just no way for many of us to haul downtown for this stuff.beerstodiscover wrote:I emailed the LCBO about which stores will be getting Gillian.

Don't bother going to Sunmerhill for Gillian. The price is $34.95 and it's been pulled from the shelves. I tried to buy two bottles and the cashier confiscated them, took them to the beer guy and said "I got two more for you" before he took them into the back.
They've realized their mistake but are playing dumb I suspect.

Because sometimes the LCBO just gives you $75 of free beer. It's a wonderful store. Heh heh.El Pinguino wrote:Lucky!

Thank my lucky stars. That's a pretty huge screw up.

A+ for arrested development. Lcbo has made a huge mistake.
i was just there and grabbed the very last bottle. old grumpy mustached dude tried to take it from me but yeah, you can't do that. then they tried to tell me i had to buy it at $35 and i said no, it's listed as $9.95, so that's what i'm paying and they begrudgingly rang me through.
there was like 5 employees running around frantically trying to get it off the shelves when i got there, thank goodness i found the last bottle before they did.
