Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

I use to live by the Beer Store at Adelaide & Lorne... there was ALWAYS people lined up on weekend mornings, often with shopping carts full of returns. I remember someone once passing out... supposedly due to the heat wave.
Luckily LC stores don't open on Sunday till noon. This is a clear message to not drink before noon at least one day a week.
Correct.

Grand River delivers their beers personally, direct from brewery. I don't know if they deliver that far east. It would have to be a lot of beer to make it cost effective.

Ive been off from Grand River for the last 2 weeks so the Curmudgeon that is in the system is just the tip of the iceburg. Im back on the 14th and there will be a big push after that. Ottawa will get some, but as Len said, we need a handfull of store to commit to a truckload of beer before we make the trip worth while.

Is it a fairly common thing among craft brewers to deliver personally to the stores?

Yeah pretty common.
Hockley, Amsterdam, Neustadt, Mill Street, Railway City, Grand River and even Creemore deliver to my store personally. And many others do to!

I am really interested to see what the non-beer geek reaction to this is. I wonder if the LCBO will get returns from curious punters who have never had a sour beer (other than Trafalgar).

I'm really excited to try this one... if it's anything like Rodenbach then I'll be happy. What I would give for Rodenbach to be on the General List...
