Can't find anyone taking reservations either, but I also heard that some stores expect to be getting it Monday night (I guess they don't do deliveries over the weekend?)

Lucky me! Oakville & Trafalgar are not taking reservations and are expecting 9 cases.

Has anyone determined if # cases = # gift packs? Or are there multiple giftpacks in a case?

The woman on the phone I spoke with believed that a case is 4 six packs. So at the oakville location they are expecting 9 cases or 36 6 packs. I think I should be able to snag one.

Nice to see Guelph, but no Waterloo? That's surprising. Also how does Ancaster get this? That store always gets stuff that others don't and then it sits on the shelf... Double Dead Guy being the most recent one that comes to mind.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

I'll buy this if I can, I'm usually good at ferreting out stock, but if the general retardedness over WESTY TWELVE!! makes this impossible I don't really give a tinker's flying f-ck at a rolling Krispy Kreme.

Yeah, kind of suprised at Ancaster, too. However, I am glad Hamiton at least got one store selling it for the sake of other beer lovers in the city. At 720,000 people in the area we still don't even get a single store with brewery features. Baffling.

I have a couple Westy 12's cellaring - I'm more interested in the glasses at this opint - Whatever I don;t feel like aging I can always trade or give out as holiday gifts.

Yes, I'm the kind of guy who would gift a Westy 12.

I was thinking about getting one as a gift too (If I was able to snag two of them) The whole thing set would be a pretty classy gift, too good for my brother-in-law, probably, but we'll see. :wink:
