What happened to Southern Tier in Ontario?

Miss having the IPA available and the special releases like 2XIPA, Gemini, Unearthly, Pumking, Warlock and other Blackwater series beers.

I miss Southern Tier. :(

Looks to me like the crappy exchange rate, along with the fact that the LCBO is a pain in the ass to deal with, were both factors in ST pulling out of Ontario.

I recall reading something 7-8 years ago which implied that many American craft breweries just couldn't be bothered with this market because of the jumping through hoops that was required.

Ontario...the province where fun comes to die.
