Westy 12 release: mid December

Sorry guys, sometimes I get behind with the registrations and they get filtered. If anyone is lurking who registered and isn't activated drop me a quick line at cass@cecktor.com with your username and I'll fix it up.

I did try to get some of the recent ones activated as I suspected many folks wanted to chat Westy

To fill demand I thought I'd offer an alternative to westy. My pack consists of 8 home brewed "trappist" dubbel's and two tulip glasses from dollarama. These are bottled in real trappist bottles (a $15 value on ebay when empty) and with legendary gold caps. All this for $49.95.

My line up starts at 12:12:12am, sales start at 12:12:12pm. Demand will exceed supply. Bring a tent, it is cold outside.

A child develops a learning disability every time you post a picture of beer no one gives a shit about.

All of his posts seem to be like that. Sorry you guys who run beer blogs, that might be my new favourite one...

Sounds kind of silly, but how do they know how many people to expect? Based on number of calls, I suppose, but it could easily a lot less or a lot more. There's all kinds of factors that people can't resist.

So a delay from tues to Friday? Makes no sense.

If they are doing a staggered release, good luck to the last store on the list!

yeah. to be honest, the guy who said that didn't sound like he knew for sure. he was probably sick of the questions and calls by that point

Went to Bayview Village around 8:20AM. They handed out tickets for about 54 cases at around 8AM and had to turn some people away as the line up was bigger than that at that time.

Out of luck for me.

Will try Richmond Hill tomorrow much earlier or just skip the whole thing.

At least ten bricks were rolled into the back for people who weren't there at 9 to claim their ticket case. Took some pressing, but the Manager admitted they would hold them indefinitely for those with tickets.

So in Edmonton it sits on the shelf and gathers dust but in Toronto it's gone in 4 mins and dbags are paying construction workers and homeless people to buy them additional packs. I wish we could be as cool as you Edmonton.

there are 40 packs at Avenue and Lawrence and there were less than 40 people in line when the store opened at 9 a.m.
