Do we have email addresses for anyone that is involved in these purchasing decisions? I'd really like to know how they justify a product that sells out a huge order in less than 2 weeks is somehow not worthy of reordering.....

I appreciate the support for a petition and I'll get back to you guys when I hear from the head of the beer division who is "investigating the matter".

Thats great to hear. Even if the outcome ends up being disappointing (which I am fully expecting) it would be nice to know someone justified the decision.

I'd be happy to set up an online petition for 60 minute. I think it would be fun to see how many people we can get on board and present to the LCBO. They probably haven't had anything like that in the beer world.

We've demanded a more detailed explanation of their one line rejection but if something of sustance is not forthcoming, I may call on bartowellers to participate in a petition to the LCBO regarding the Beer category.
That's insane. Those are two of my favorites. I'll sign your petition if it comes together. Sheesh.

I also see Anchor Steam has recently gotten the Kibosh by liquor monopoly commissars....this was one of my favorite brews next to Anchor Liberty ale.

The expanded explanation, if they were truthfull, is simple.....these are products of the evil American capitalist empire which all good little Kanukistani bureaucrats must denounce out of hand to protect the our morally superior controlled indistrial base and the government marketing monopolies which make us "better" than "them"....consumer demand curves and free market competition have no chance against ideological dogmatism in control bureaucracies. :roll:
Aventinus rules!
