Ah nuts, I'm really going to miss the LCBO Search utility with the Cities selection box that contains over four hundred cities.

I once tried to searching for something on their site on a phone browser - and needed to limit the search to just Toronto. It wasn't even possible to do since the phone stopped scrolling after 300 or so entries in the selection box...

For sure. If you know someone who would benefit from it then please pass along.

I just noticed the BA and RB ratings under the release notes. Very nice addition!

Thanks again.

Thanks. Does anyone know of similar rating sites for wine? I took an initial look around when I put up the January wine release but I couldn't find anything with near the consistency of BA or RB.

Most of the great wine rating wine sites are pay to play.

That said, cork'd is alright, and is similar to RB in that you can add your own ratings and it is free.

Today, a number of people had matches for Brutal Bitter arriving at their selected stores. If you had it on your watchlist but didn't see an email notification check your junk mail folder. It sometimes lands there, particularly with hotmail.

P.S Enjoying one right now. Glad to see it back.

I picked up both the Brutal Bitter and Hog's Back TEA today because I knew they were at the closest LCBO to me. Thanks again for the excellent work with the site!

I'd like to reiterate my thanks. This has been an extremely useful tool for me and I think its been a very positive contribution to the beer scene.

Once something turns up, does it comes off your watchlist? Brutal Bitter showed up, but I didn't get an e-mail about it. I had thought I'd put all my beers on the watchlist, but when I click on it it says "Watching: No". Should I assume this is the user and not the tool?

Ralphus · Post by **Ralphus** » Fri Feb 26, 2010 11:31 am

If it was on your watchlist and a match is found, you'll get an email and an entry in your news area. The item is then removed from your watchlist.

If you didn't see the email, or the news entry once you logged in, then it's very likely it wasn't being watched. If you PM me the email you use to log in I can verify for sure.
