If you consider many of those purchasers may have never heard of ST Choklat, that is impressively swift sales for a ten-dollar beer.

But will the LC notice, and what will they do, if they notice?
They certainly will notice. I think it is probably the only thing they care about hahah.

If you're talking about the St. Lawrence Market location, I grabbed a bunch of bottles there. Had to get them to search the back for the case. I did the same when they had the Creme Brulee.

Just picked up supplies from my local store:

St. Ambroise Pumpkin
Muskoka Harvest
Dark Star Expresso
Sam Adams Oktoberfest
Paulaner Oktoberfest with mug
ST Choklat

was told Garrison in a few days.

This will also be my "What are you drinking now" list using my Paulaner pail.


Updated

Peche Mortel also came in, in good supply.

Also grabbed another Choklat and Garrison IIPA because I couldn't help myself.

It is and also works the biceps.

Picked up Garrisons today in Hamilton and the CSR thought the ST Pumpkin and Rigor would be in a couple of weeks. He also thought the Brooklyn Pumpkin was delayed by a month or two.

Timing is everything.

Finally managed to score 2-4 packs of the St Ambroise Pumpkin Ale. I found it at the Blenheim LCBO of all places. A small town LCBO with a terrible beer selection and they manage to get this one in!!

Very cool! MY friend Jen manages the Bothwell store. If you're in the area, say hi to her for me.

Oh

The Citrouille is one of the most refreshing and tasty beers I have ever had. So good.

I would totally get a 24 of this if I could.
