Well, the SAQ still has 750ml Chimay blues and St-Bernies 12, just have to hunt down a bit.

Sucks though not to have it on hand.

Neither the Chimay nor the St. Bernardus made an appearance nor will they. Looking to end of this year for both.

Ontario tradition! Tease the starved consumer, then delay unaccountably, then cancel.

I checked it last night and only 5 stores had it, I think. One in Guelph, one Peterborough, and the rest Toronto. Today a sixth store has been added.. Grimsby??

Yonge & Summerhill has 427 in stock. Assuming 1 is a 4-pack that's 1708 bottles. Red Racer flashbacks.
