Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere else, but the LCBO launched a new website:

We've been praising the revamped search engine over here:Cass wrote:Not sure if this is mentioned anywhere else, but the LCBO launched a new website:

Something tells me not to hold my breath.Your feedback will be forwarded to our consumer insights department.
The LCBO isn't the best at categorization and this new browsing system just gives people more things to complain about and another thing for them to screw up. Is NB Curvee a sour? Didn't think so...Cass wrote:Gotcha. The first thing I clicked on was Beer>Ale>Sour and hoped for the best. Alas:

Also, if they are going to use categories, maybe they ought to hire a dead letter department to take care of some of the phantom and "one bottle in Grimsby" stock.About: Nickel Brook Cuvée is a rich auburn reserve ale, brewed with premium European and North American malts, Caribbean Demerara and a special mix of fruits, herbs and spices. This beer is then blended with ale aged in bourbon barrels that results in a complex and unique final product. Enjoy it today, or lay it down in your cellar and savor the changes in character as it matures. Cheers!
Well it's not really an 'insight' that they broke the entire searchability of their website, in effect defeating its purpose.skaghevn wrote:I did complain to the LCBO, and was sent the reassuring message thatYour feedback will be forwarded to our consumer insights department.
OMG yay. I'm probably never visiting the lcbo website again. It's just not usable for me. New releases are unsearchable, even on lcbosearch and the the foodanddrink sites.spinrsx wrote:yay! (drinkvine is working again as per below)

We are back people! Thanks for you patience. Let me know if you notice any problems with the site.
I tried using it today too. Trying to find which stores have a beer you are looking for is a painful experience.IPA_Lover wrote:Wow, the new website is awful. And I've only been using it for 3 minutes. On my laptop and there's no way to scroll down to look at store stock results.
