This usually seems to happen. I suspect that some stores get things earlier than others and rather than have empty shelves, they just put it out. Not really a leak. More of a headstart based on the fact no one likes lookin' at empty shelves.

I know it's still VERY early, but anyone have any idea as the the hold up with the Black IPA - all the beers are listed and showing stock except this one.

Tweeted a couple hours ago: "LCBO just informed us that HopHead Black IPA was held up in Lab, it has now been released and should be hitting retail shelves next week"

The scientists have been scratching their head with "Black" and "IPA."
