My comment this time is not about TBS website per se, but it seemed appropriate to add it on here rather than start a new thread.

An expected errand took me near my local TBS and LCBO today....so, why not visit. I decided I'd pick up 6 Czech Mate Pilsner if they were there as I have not yet tried this. Found the 606 IPA, but the Pilsner did not appear to be there. Browsed a bit and was ready to go, but a cloud-burst was happening outside, so browsed a little more. I then realized that the some of the sealed boxes by the 606 were actually the Pilsner. It was marked, plainly, but was not obvious as there was no label on the box. I had to rip open the box to take one sixer out.

If I was from Paddock Wood, I'd be a little pissed. If a customer specifically looking for the beer almost missed it, there's virtually no chance of picking up any other sales because someone is curious.

Not sure when things changed, but I noticed recently that TBS website now shows inventory, not just listings.

I'm too lazy to find a link to support it but since one of the issues was when you heat it up, I would think that cans that have been pasteurized would be non-optimal.
Plus, Beer Can Chicken seems like a really bad idea.
