I'm pretty sure that yes, it is harder to get than westy 12. As far as I know this was a one time thing resulting in a limited number of bottles. Westy doesn't distribute but it's a regularly made beer that is (relatively) consistently available. Once Armand and tomme is gone, it's gone.spinrsx wrote:Is this $23 beer harder to get than the westy 12? (worldwide, not just ontario)
I'm surprised at all of the commotion over it

Going after sours now, huh?TheSevenDuffs wrote:Picked up a couple of bottles from that store this afternoon. The guy in the beer department was extremely friendly and helpful. He seemed very interested in craft beer and we chatted for a while about some of the stuff they had in stock. They have a great selection at that location!midlife crisis wrote:A case is in stock but not yet out on the shelves at Wilson + Dufferin. When I asked about it, a very helpful gentleman knew what I was talking about and got me a bottle from the back. Perfect experience! I only bought one so should be most of a case there still.
I ended up visiting TBS to get my fix. It seems more widely distributed through them. I found that I liked it much better on tap (I prefer draught over bottles in general but in this case even more so.)spinrsx wrote:anyone know what the deal is with the Hop-It Tripel Ipa? It has been at the lcbo for a month now, but only the same 4 stores.. I can't figure why there is no distribution
Agreed. I was really disappointed by the bottle I got the TBS - it seemed like a completely different and much poorer beer from the draught, which is always fantastic. Won't be bothering with any more bottles.BigBob wrote:I found that I liked (Hop-It) much better on tap (I prefer draught over bottles in general but in this case even more so.)
