Speaking of Garrison, I just popped into the Summerhill LCBO and the entire Garrison feature was there, looked like a reasonable amount of stock. Picked up the pils, spruce, baltic porter and the black IPA. Good day.

How many are you looking for? Do you have anything you'd be wiling to trade that is not available at the LC..?

Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to head down there afterwork to pick up two of each and some more red racer! Cheers!

Both St B and Chimay are available at the SAQ. I'd be willing to set up a trade if anybody is interested.

Don't know what's coming here other than whats mentioned, but looks like Noble Pils will now be made year-round, and Alpine Spring, as cratez mentioned earlier, is the new seasonal. I would much rather have the Pils here as a general list item than the Boston Lager.

I always come here for this information...but do these seasonal releases generally get promoted as a press release? Available on LCBO.ca?

It would be nice to have one place to look and an official list to use to bring awareness to LCBO managers regarding all the products they aren't getting.

You're right. I had a hard time at first of getting a hold of him and staying in contact. Try calling him. I've found better response time. The last two months a group of co-workers and I have grabbed over three grand worth of beer of Peter and his wife. We're picking up the rest of our order Saturday morning this last order took no time at all.
