Just like the topic says, me as a homebrewer do not care if they go on strike. However, I don't want them to go on strike because it will hurt the small pro brewers in this province. I never, ever go to those bastards called the Beer Store, but I am a regular customer of the LCBO. I am in there twice a week seeking out beers that I haven't had the pleasure to partake.

Do You Care About LCBO Strike
Short term no, I have enough rum and beer in the house to last a while, and I'm heading stateside soon. Even if I wasn't most of my beer needs can be met from the local breweries. Wine is available at various outlets.
Long term yes... for a variety of reasons. It will be interesting to see how it goes.

depends....
balancing out my homebrew with my Buffalo and Michigan-supplemented cellar, I can go a really long time w/o hitting the LCBO. the Dupont release was my 1st visit to the LCBO for beer since...buying one Samiclaus for dinner? and before that...it was for a case of Orval.
but things like the Chimay release and Maverick and Gose will likely require an LCBO visit from me. other than that one release, i doubt i'd set foot in an LCBO until the fall release. there is really nothing that calls me to spend my $$ there.
and if i want wine, it is the perfect time of year to drive to Niagara to visit the wineries directly and find some fresh fruit.
