I'd guess that's from the last batch of Denison's.S. St. Jeb wrote:I thought one was replacing the other.

I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

I think its been wonky all day.Charchuk wrote:That's strange. It's the same number I used but it won't locate it when I search.
Thanks!
Ive tried both sites using name and number and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Always good to see another member from Hamilton joining the crowd!
Hola!
Is this stuff selling fast? Limited amount available? People buying it by the case etc?
Wondering how much effort to exhaust into picking some up

The (old) website shows stock in two other stores as well, if you type in the item number instead of searching for it.
Hard to say. If you trust their stock numbers they went from 29 to 8 bottles at King and Spadina today, but it's barely listed at all on their website. You really have to know to look for it. Also, I think this is just the very tip of the release, it's bound to go much wider shortly. I doubt it sells out overnight, but I'm sleeping easy with 8 bottles by my fridge, you know?spinrsx wrote:Is this stuff selling fast? Limited amount available? People buying it by the case etc?

I spoke with the Side Launch team last week. What's happened is that Michael Hancock (brewer and owner of Denison's) has teamed up with a few investors to start Side Launch. In doing so, he's folded the Weiss and the Dunkel into the Side Launch portfolio. Same recipes as always (though, yes, different water source). He's also now brewing a Pale Ale. I was told all three will eventually be available at the LCBO in tall can format.S. St. Jeb wrote:I thought one was replacing the other.
