Great Divide private order interest?

In this thread, Manul mentioned that Great Divide has a minimum order requirement of 15 cases. Do you think there is enough interest here if we aggregate our orders and present them to the LCBO Special Orders together?

Depending on the timing and price, I might be interested.

I'd be interested too, but I'm pretty price-sensitive these days.

Based on what I've heard about private ordering, given that I don't expent the LCBO buys a lot of Coloradan wine, the shipping costs might make this prohibitive.

I've already told them I'm interested in 6 cases so in case LCBO contacts them for a quotation they know it's not only for a case.

I'd be up for at least two cases, depending on the beer (Yeti! Yeti!)

I'd be up for a case, also depending upon the beer.

This sounds promising. I'll contact Private Ordering next week and try to get a quote for the various Great Divide products and explain that there is a group of us with sufficient interest to possibly reach the minimum order requirement. Based on past experience, it will probably take 4-6 weeks to get a response.

I'm also price sensitive (I took Peter up on the private order...) but I'd be interested in a case.

Now if I could only find people willing to make up 70 or so cases for a North Coast order...

I'd buy a case, almost on general principle.

Oh crap man, just look at this bitch!!

I'd buy a case of old rasputin if it makes you feel any better

I'd take 2 cases each of Yeti, Old Yeti, Hercules and Old Ruffian.

Holy shit Batman, that's half a skid of beer right there.

OK you've guilted me, I can be talked into buying another case or two if Blankboy and his monkeys are drinking it

All for the cause brothers!

To clarify my post, I would take 2 cases each of Oak Yeti and Old Ruffian and one case of Hercules. I know there is about a 2% chance of this happening, but it was fun to write that just now. And I don't want Blankboy to seem like the hero
