There is also Hickson IPA 500ml for $4.00

The Baltic Porter and Imperial IPA are also 2 for $7.50 ($3.75ea), 4 for $14.50 ($3.63ea) and 12 for $41.95 ($3.50ea). would be great if LCBO had volume discounts like that!

P.S. The quebec ratebeer reviewers say it cost $4.60 to $4.99 in quebec, yet it's cheaper in ontario?

I'm confused. Are market forces even a reality in pricing here? Doesn't our main retailer, the LCBO tell producers what their target shelf price must be, relying on their own peculiar dystopian omniscience of what is right & good for Ontario consumers who must be protected from too much availability?

LOL.

Mind you the Lager, Dark and Cream were totally serviceable thirst crushers when they were just canned commodities.
thinking it is more like Muskoka releasing that "vintage" winter beard that they found in their warehouse.

Found in their warehouse.....I just figured they recalled all leftover stock from the lcbo :o

I think the poor man's Solstice d'ete Framboise might be more appropriate.
