I got an alert on drinkvine that "2" bottles showed up at Liberty Village today. Phantom bottles though... all keeping with the halloween spirit.

Lots in Ancaster if you want to make the drive. Just came in today.

So glad I don't have to see another Trafalger release. My last bit of hope in them (if any remained) was crushed when they killed my excitment for Ontario hops with thier Hop Nouveau. Never had another wet-hopped beer, but I'm sure whichever i have next will do just fine in comparison.
Curious to know what it is tho, as a fellow lcbo lacky i feel whatever beer 'inside' i have has skipped a beat on this one

Hopefully, the Brooklyn Post will show up in Ottawa considering the Southern Tier Pumking did not show up at any Ottawa stores. I guess the capital is too remote.

Does anyone know if there will be a wider distribution of Rigor Mortis, or is this it? (I grabbed some in Oakville today)

I have a feeling this is it. The stores that told me they were ordering it have already received theirs. One store last week hadnt heard about it but he said they would order some and I see they have received it, so it took about a week.

The Dundas store has 72 bottles, that must be close to you or is Ancaster with 48 closer? Dundurn and the Creek North and South also have some.

As you can see I have made the rounds, with the Linc and Red Hill no store is too far.

No I certainly did not.

Someone else mentioned that DFH 90 was perhaps coming, and I made some calls and found that there may have been some truth to the statement. That's it though. Take er easy there.

I grabbed some at the LCBO by the Oakville Go Station, there are some at Trafalgar and Dundas too, this one kind of had a weird distribution (is there any recent distribution at the LCBO that's not weird?)
