Before we panic, lets see if we can get word from Keep 6 or the brewery. You never know - it may just be temporary. Maybe they want to sell us six-packs!*

That would be awesome, had another one last night. Right from the can. First time drinking from can or bottle in a long time.

It's never been a permanent listing, just several one-off orders.

Given how popular it's been, though, I wouldn't be surprised if that changed at some point. Although that might depend on whether CC can supply the volume that the LCBO needs on a regular basis.

Well, even if it's a one off, hopefully we'll get more "one offs" soon, when they can supply us...I mean the door's open now...

I posted on their FB wall with a link to the LCBO listing and the link was promptly deleted.

So I posted it again. :wink:

from the Central City FB,

"I just checked with our sales team and there were some issues with our distributor. These issues are currently being resolved and the IPA will return as either a 4 or 6 pack. Additionally our Winter Ale will be part of the seasonal program. Other beers will follow in 2013. Fear not! Just a bump int he road."

Good to hear, does anyone think the 4 or 6 pack will work out to a cheeper price per can?

I would be too. Down to my last 4, but the wallets a bit light from the haul from buffalo.

A lower price would definitely be welcomed, but the way I look at it now is "Would I pay $6 for a bomber of a great IPA?" the answer is always yes.

I bought 6 and still have some in the fridge. I was mad when Liberty Ale was discontinued last year and didn't get the chance to stock up.
