Usual 29 or so stores, but some jump in and some don't, sometimes ones not on the list jump in anyway.

Usually GTA, Ottawa (6), Guelph (1), KW(2) and London(1).

GTA can be Toronto(11), Oakville(2), Mississauga(1), Barrie(1).

Also 1 store in Aurora, Richmond Hill, Collingwood and Kingston.

Best to check online.

you could always try to get one of the bigger stores to transfer down a case of each or something... I know they can generally do this, not sure if it's blocked for something like a brewery feature. has to be case lots as far as i know.

Anyone know what the distriburion for this is going to be like? Is it going to be limited to the city or Toronto or is there plenty for other LC's around the GTA and Ontario?

Also, I don't see the Breakfast Stout on the website. Anyone have a product number since the website is super finicky when it comes to searching?

Ahhh, I never use that. Just the LC site. And the Breakfast stout is the only one that isn't even listed at all.

Just what I was thinking.
I'd have to look at my MI bought Bastard (from last year) and see if they have any best before dates on it. If its not good for a year I may be in trouble.... :roll:

But I did open one last weekend and it was drinking as good as ever.
