Not really part of the release, I know, but just read that Muskoka has shipped out Spring Oddity and the Mad Tom cans...

Hopefully next week we'll see them?
Haven't heard much more about Spring Oddity 'round here but I did pick some up just now at TBS on Queens Quay.

May try some tonight but still sprucing up after last night at Castro's.
I can't find Spring Oddity through the website...anyone have the item number?
It's in the Beer Store system
http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/muskoka-spring-oddity
but not the LCBO.

I hope that it's just starting to be delivered, otherwise the distribution looks spotty. :(

No, I will not "beam you up."

I picked some up on the way home from work yesterday at Laird and Eglinton lcbo, despite it not showing up on the lcbo website. Also, there wasn't that much out either, and they said "very limited quantities." appears to be a get it while you can crapshoot. I quite liked it though, a nice mix of a belgian strong pale and woodsy canadiana.

I inquired at the Bank and Walkley location here in Ottawa yesterday. The item number is 290973.

The beer is on the shelves and has an inventory number, yet doesn't show up anywhere in the inventory system. Gotta love the LIK-BO.

Got to love the LCBO's inventory system.. Thanks for posting this I would not have thought to check TBS. There's a store in Whitby. Hopefully they'll have a couple bottles left.

All three LCBOs in Whitby are showing inventory, if you can believe it. A real oddity indeed for a beer they tweeted was available in very limited quantities.

Murphy's Law in full effect. :)

It figures, 1 day after I post that there's none, then it shows up in the LCBO system
http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/lcbo/produ ... ber=290973
with far better distribution than the Beer Store. Well, at least it's here, now.

Nope. I was watching the Panil distribution closely and it got as far as Kingston.

I saw the Celt at Hunt Club & Merivale. It is no longer there, however. As for the Panil, none to be seen in Ottawa.

I could have sworn I saw some Panil at either Innis or Ogilvie, or both, weeks ago.

Yeah, one case popped up at Richmond & Kirkwood around the middle of April. And then VANISHED!

sooo, that's it then? No panil for us?

It's not like Ottawa is some small town.. shouldn't we get at least a few bottles of every release?
