pretty sure he's referring to the A&T release years back.
and just an FYI, heard that A&G was listed accidentally. all purchases were apparently refunded and it will be listed again.
I was referring to A&G, but the A&T example is definitely a better one.

Also, many A&G sales were honoured (but yes, some were refunded) :D

Yep, it would be pretty sweet if I lived at Yonge and Wellesley. I would be within a couple of kilometres of over 20% of the provincial allocation. Still waiting for more than a case or two to show up in the entire west 905. Including at the store that I specifically placed an order at two weeks ago. They advised me yesterday that the packing documents accompanying the weekly shipment they received in the afternoon marked the CBS as backordered. "Sorry".

The two Ottawa stores showing inventory are the least likely stores you could possibly imagine. Oh well. Rideau had 800 bottles at opening this morning nothing showing online.

It depends on whether you use the website or the app - different data shows up on each. Obviously.

UPDATE: 288 bottles popped up for online ordering, so I just did it that way and getting it delivered to my local. Web availability now down to 158.

Can't wait to get my "order cancelled" email.

Well I struck out, 48 bottles total for kingston. Sold out before noon, and missed the online orders too... :(

Hopefully more go online... I mean like why doesn't the online store got the biggest stash? So frustrating.

Lots on the cooler room shelf at Danforth & Broadview LC. They disposed of the 4-pk carriers, I guess for their convenience not yours (avoid ringing in 4 as 1.)

I actually left with some Founders PC Pils. Not sure how often I really want coffee stouts but Founders CBS is good even for eight bucks+. I bet you it comes back again if Founders feels like repeating the recipe next year.
