I guess I was wrong. You're crazy :P.

Fat Tug is having the strangest roll out. A case will show up at random lcbo's and then disappear.

Does anyone know if Orval will be back at the lcbo this year and when? I've got one left in the cellar from last year that's looking awfully delicious and I'd like to add more.
You know what I have in my cellar? Dust, I have dust in my cellar.

It is weird, I should drive to Brockville and clean them out too...

(Those 4 bottles in Kingston are phantom stock.)

Ransack the Universe IPA is in a similar LCBO limbo. Cans in Timmins and Ottawa, and that's about it for a couple weeks now.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get the Kingston 'BO to bring a bunch in for you?

Hmmm, drive 2 hours or get looked at like I have 3 heads, then stand around for 30 mins only to be told they couldn't get anymore...?

The 'Bo people know how to do store transfers. Just ask to talk to the boss.

I tried that one time, but they told me the transfer was declined by the other store...

Fat Tug in a few more locations today. For those of you in Ottawa, the Innes road lcbo has 4 cases (even though it doesn't show online)
