Leaside or Queens Quay?
It's at the Brewhouse, Queen's Quay.

Looks like the flights are 3 tempests and a double. 5 oz each, pretty good for 12$

So I'm sitting in my course and saw my darling wife in that line up at qq on the Facebook feed clearly trying to snag me a bottle for Xmas what are the chances she got some? The pic was taken at around 2. She the one in the black coat orange stroller. She's so awesome!

She definitely would have gotten some; I'm the guy in the green jacket there and there were many cases left.

I was at Leaside around 3:45. There were still plenty of bottles left. Absolutely no lineup. They went back to the 4 bottle limit.

Awesome...guess I need to act surprised. I love her so much! Sorry to brag but she drove from Brampton with a two year old to get that...

Nick did you notice if my daughter was behaving in line or getting fussy? Anyway looking forward to hearing how it is...

Your daughter wasn't in line, she was inside with one of your wife's girlfriends. Your wife was in line right in front of me. :D

Funny she went for the cans of 416 instead of the XX. Guess she knows what you like. :D

I went for lunch (and the vertical flight) expecting a huge line. On my way to the washroom I decided to go to the retail shop and grab a few bottles...no lines, no problem, lots left.

My only disappointment was the flight glasses were barely half full, and the 7oz XX tempest was not available (despite being on the menu)

Are you fucking kidding me? I mean I'm happy I got the one bottle, but what a way to screw over the people who showed up on time

If anyone can grab me two bottles I would sell you my soul. I'm living at work and really won't have time to pick any up. I'll paypal you the money and give you a special beer treat!
