Don't worry, Matt - you're not alone. Looking forward to getting on to this, it sounds like an excellent tool that could make a significant difference. great idea Ralphus!

This is very cool and something the LCBO website should be doing already. Never again will I have to feel the shame of explaining why my home page is a link to an upcoming LCBO product listing. Nice work.

It appears as though hotmail's mail policy may be to only allow emails from domains they have whitelisted. So if you have a registered via a hotmail account (or any other account) and haven't received a confirmation email please PM me. I can send you the URL to enable your registration.

Thanks Ralphus for all your work, much appreciated.

Thank you for all the positive feedback. Any time you release something to a wide audience it's a little nerve wracking because you don't know how it will be received, so your comments are really appreciated.

Very cool, this is just what the doctor ordered! I'm impressed that you have reworked everything that is wrong about the lcbo site. I love the idea of being able to add beers from the spring release and see BA and RB ratings for each. And as a bonus, I saw one of my photos sourced for one of the beers, on the downside, its for "Trafalgar Oak Aged Rye", I have some shots of some good beers too!

I'll be using this a lot.

The hotmail issue has been resolved. Hotmail users should now receive registration and watchlist emails.

Thanks Ralphus! This is a very convenient tool for me.
The time and effort this saves me can not be overstated. I'm in Sudbury, where very few new and interesting beers arrive, and when they do, they're in very limited supply and are often gone in a few short weeks. I used to check the LCBO's website for Winter Releases like BBC Stout and I only secured a small stockpile because of my near obsessive compulsion, checking the LCBO website on a twice daily occurrence.
Now I can add future Spring releases, sit back, and relax.
Brilliant!

This. Is. Boss. Thanks Ralphus. The days of sending Ontario friends and relatives on wild goose chases trying to track down beers I want appear to be over.

Excellent site...my only note...

When selecting stores based on postal code it appears that the 20 store option for radius does not work. Only the 10 and 50 give options. Otherwise...stellar work.
