I just took the last 24 off their hands. They told me someone came in and bought five of the eight cases they had...

Usually this is no cause for panic, just a very staggered delivery. But FIVE cases... guess somebody needs to put it on their menu real fast!?

I saw it's 2.00 per unit. Not bad: a 24 of very decent IPA for $48. Hurry up please and get it here.

Damn you Jon Walker!!!! Damn you!!! :wink:

I just got back from the Kingsway LCBO and was told about you. Apparently neither the Kingsway nor the Dundas & Mavis LCBOs have any of the Dogfish left in stock. They all got cleaned out.

Good news is that the ladies at the Kingsway LCBO told me that the warehouse has a lot of stock, so it should be back... some day... The same ladies also told me that it was only the Kingsway and Dundas & Mavis LCBOs were getting the Dogfish. I don't know what they meant by that...

Those ladies are wrong...and the total order of DFH 60 IPA is over 400 cases so...there should be plenty for everyone soon.

Nope, current location Toronto.

But stop worrying everybody, this happens EVERY flipping time BarTowel waits for delayed stock to dribble out and then suddenly it's all over the place - so let's - be - very - calm - now. Go outside. Breeeathe.

I was at Kingsway at about 7pm and they had 9 bottles left on the shelf - I bought 8 (to fit in the 8-pack holder) and left 1 :)

I'm just glad all of this sitting around in warehouses and labs and such didn't affect the beer - it is fantastic. I hope its gets out there soon so everyone can try it - truly a world-class session brew.

Yeah, I had one tonight as well and it's as good as I remember. If I can pick up some more, this will be a great summer session beer.

Though hopefully, some non-Bartowellers will get their hands on some too - if people haven't been turned off Dogfish Head by the previous offerings (not that I don't like the Chickory and the Raison D'Etre, they're just not great cross-over beers) this is a great one to convert people with, and it's certainly priced right.

Also, none in my case have the 'Brewed On' date marked - do anybody else's?

Congrats! You got Immaculate Fermentation beers! That's even better than beer made by monks! :roll:

There's 22 now in Lindsay. Let's all race!

Still 8 showing at Dundas at Mavis, 0 now at Kingsway, I guess they weren't lying.

Hop Heads in Kawartha rejoice :)

I've got 6 bottles left in my fridge and I'm selling at $10/bottle. :o

Relax, I'm kidding :wink:

Daily Dogfish Update:

3 showing up online at Coopers St. today. That should satisfy downtown demand!

Looks like 4 sold in Lindsay, 18 to go! And the mysterious 8 are still floating around Mississauga somewhere.
