LCBO Seasonal Offers... funny peeve of mine

Post by Belgian »

I do appreciate the range of good Winter Warmers singles the LCBO picked up for us this year. But the way they do things puts me a bit on edge: when will the really classic stuff I like the best sell out? How many should I 'hoard' right away, while not depriving the beer fans in my locality? Which ones will they not EVER sell again, or even mysteriously yank from shelves? What a little drama they put us through.

I remember when Vintages handled things, but as that's now gone away I send LCBO props for delivering an *improved* release this season. Hopefully next year will continue the return to form.

Keep 'em crossed! :D

sounds like your wrestling with the practical effects of state marketing monopolies. A good sign.

Perhaps a letter to an MPP??
Aventinus rules!
