Post by dutchcanuck »

Is it just me or is there a lack of hoptical illusion on the LCBO shelves lately? I can personally say with great sorrow that St. Catharines has been sold out for over a week now! And when I did a quick inventory search I noticed everywhere, but Barrie pretty much, was running low on the hoptical. I mean almost every LCBO had less than the equivelent of 4 two-fours. Has anyone else had problems getting their illusion on?

So the question must be asked....Is everything alright up there in Barrie?

Once again Toronto proves itself to be the centre of the universe. :D

I had not bought any of this in bottles for a while. When I was in the Leaside store I noticed quite a lot in the cooler and I thought:

1 .Must be new inventory, fresh! I'lll get some.
2. In the cooler! Craft beer in the cooler!
3. Mmmm... time for some of that.

Always seems stocked in Guelph, and always seems to be in the cooler. Its definitely become my go to drinker - I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact I know I can stop by the LCBO and pick up a chilled 6 pack.

I'm starting to drink more of Sgt. Major IPA now that its showing up in Guelph but it always sitting out on the floor warm. So there usually needs to be more forethought when I want the Sgt. Major.

The Franklin store in Cambridge was out of Hoptical the other day when I was in. Yes, it's usually in the cooler which is nice but they also had some of the Sgt Major IPA ALSO in the cooler. I know some people have bad mouthed that beer but I've never had a bad experience with it and it came through again the other day. Win.
