They generally update stock first thing on Monday morning, or at least their system does. It's showing stock on drinkvine, so the stock is there in the LCBO system.admviolin wrote:Harry Porter still isn't searchable on LCBO's website...

BADLY needed in this market as most of our local brewers and agents seem to think that porters and stouts should only come in large bottles, and at a higher price per ml. I'll be buying lots of this.spinrsx wrote:new:

Ins't this simply Muskoka Detour? Or did they change their branding again...[/quote]
I imagine the LCBO will be fixing that tomorrow. A couple of beer have had slightly wrong names when first listed... i.e. "Dinner Jack O'Red Ipa" to "Dinner Jacket O'Red Ipa."

Good to hear!This will be rolled out to 100+ stores throughout Ontario shortly.In fairness to other agents and brewers the LCBO product calls certainly guide you to the large single serve format. I don't want to speculate on why most of the LCBO product calls prefer large single serve format but I do believe there are many valid reasons to do so at this point in time.I would predict that as the craft beer segment grows and matures in Ontario you will see more 6 pack bottles and cans in market.cratez wrote:BADLY needed in this market as most of our local brewers and agents seem to think that porters and stouts should only come in large bottles, and at a higher price per ml.

Fully aware of this as I occasionally read the product call letters. That the LCBO prefers this format doesn't make it any less illogical/inconvenient to consumers who don't enthusiastically enjoy paying more money for less beer.TCB wrote: In fairness to other agents and brewers the LCBO product calls certainly guide you to the large single serve format.
I agree that it's a maturity thing. We're still wrapping our heads around the idea that you can session a 6-pack of 4-6% porter over a couple days and still have all your limbs in tact. And the fact that you pay less for your beer, make fewer trips to the store, etc. That's why it's encouraging to see products like this stout.TCB wrote: I would predict that as the craft beer segment grows and matures in Ontario you will see more 6 pack bottles and cans in market.
