Just received a Cantillon special order

KW1 - I get all these through a distributer in Quebec. Sometimes I feel like some of these orders are coming up through the US, as I see names like Shelton Brothers etc. on the bottles.

So, 2, maybe 3 of the 4 are nothing to do with the LCBO?

For counter-argument, ALL the barriers nick mention exist because the LCBO exists in place of normal retail. If we had Consumers Beverage-style stores here, they would:

a) need no agent

Well, who would bring the products in then, if there is no agent?

We have Consumers Beverage-style stores in Edmonton, yet due to the laws of the land, all alcohol has to come in via a licensed agent and has to be warehoused. An individual can't just go out and court a brewery anywhere in the world, without first being licensed and have an agreement with the supplier.

Are you now saying it should be a free for all?

And the OP has proven that the LCBO isn't really a barrier, as their private order of Cantillon arrived in good time, and didn't cost the earth.
