I was at Jane/Dundas location two days ago. All three of these had shelf labels. So did Achel Bruin for $2.95/bottle. Gotta guess these are showing up soon!
Any news/sightings of the Achel Bruin?

I'm pretty sure the Achel is somewhere between Belgium and Ontario currently. When I checked earlier this week it wasn't in the warehouse yet even and I think it had an expected delivery date of early/mid February

Interesting. I was in Queens Quay tonight and there was none there. Ottawa beating the store on the same lot as HQ for an import is rare.

Dundurn in Hamilton had some Goudenband today, lucky to snag the last bottle.

Is Goudenband in limited supply? It's at my local lcbo, should I be snapping this up quickly?

Looks like most stores got 24, which would probably disappear quick. Great price. Most of Dundurn's supply in Hamilton was gone before it reached the shelf.

Dundurn moves stock fast but Ancaster got a couple cases and Dundas got a ton so no problem.

Guess I know where I will be tomorrow morning.

A friend saw a few on the shelf in Dundas, but there were quite a few in Ancaster.

Ancaster has 8 left, Dundas was showing 61 unless they got cleaned out early this morning.


Bottles show a best before date of 01/02/2022.

Hopefully I'm still around.
