It's a full time job as a ticker in ottawa. Travelling all over the city to various lcbo's to track down one of everything. Seems impossible for 1 location to have most of the beers at the same time.

Seriously.

Living in Kanata has not exactly been optimal for tracking down beer (gotta love it when that one Orleans spot is the only location with what I want). I've literally mastered the roads in Ottawa just from driving to different LCBO's every week. At least I work at the airport which allows me to cut down on a bit of driving.

Any other Black Butte sightings in Ottawa? Bank/Walkley was cleaned out as of earlier this afternoon. Nothing at Richmond/Kirkwood. Rideau/KE I'm guessing...

I was in at Rideau/KE yesterday evening. There was nothing. So unless they put it out today, save your gas.

Wow, it went fast. Drinkvine shows 41 bottles at B&W, new shipment or they're just not up-to-date?

It wasn't that bad with the Centennial IPA release...

Centennial was a general list though.. People knew there would be more and some waited because they wanted fresher bottles in the next round of shipments
