I'll vouch for Black Betty as well. Now is probably the time to drink them; nicely balanced.

I talked with the beer guy at my LCBO who said the system showed ~5000 bottles at a single warehouse (don't remember which one, sorry). He had no idea when distribution would happen or to where though.

I know this comes up a lot, but do you really expect the LCBO to maintain a real time inventory of every product? Even the ones that cost a couple of bucks? Does any store do that? I mean I can't go to walmart.ca and find out how many snickers bars the store nearest me has.

Pretty much every online store in existence does this.
