Represents Ontario better than usual. I mean in 341ml how much do they really have to draw upon. There's no really great porters or IPA's in that format on this side of the US border.

It's a little ironic that Flying Monkeys Smash Bomb Atomic Strong IPA at # 3 brewed in Ontario (RB) would have been the top eligible beer in 341/355ml bottle size.

It's still not listed at the LCBO website.
i believe this was dropped by the board
Huh. Well, it's still listed prominently on the OCB website, although it says "available soon" rather than a specific month. There's an LCBO sku listed for it, but that might not mean anything.

I'll do some digging and see if I can find anything out.

And here's what I found out, straight from Lisa Dunbar at the OCB:

"Absolutely NOT cancelled. We were advised by the LCBO’s beer category yesterday that there was a slight delay in getting product to shelf (assumingly somewhere in the warehousing process). Product will start pushing into stores next week. If you need a list of stores where product will initially push, go to our website www.ontariocraftbrewers.com

"We are in the process of printing cartons for the Summer Edition… so we are excited about this Spring Launch, the Summer OCB Discovery Pack, and look forward to a great new mix of beers for the 2011 Holiday Discovery Pack."
