Happy Novemberwe'en Ontario.

Just having the Steam Works Pumpkin Ale from BC, I can recommend it as tasty and about what you'd expect from this well-explored beer style. Nice Fall beer until those stragglers arrive.

Ya, the nepean lcbo. So the ottawa area got exactly 36 bottles of warlock. 36 more than the mikkeller feature at least. We also got 24 of the sn fatjack. Why is ottawa so low on the priority list all of a sudden.

Every store orders their own stock. Blame the store and the people who manage it. It's not a head office decision. Complain to your local stores.

Maybe to some extent. But what happens if no managers request warlock for example. Just sits in the warehouse? I am sure some stores get the new beers by default, and for whatever reason ottawa is not on this default list lately.

Don't know if there is a default list....I know that the Managers get updates regarding new releases though, anyways, I recommend finding out who orders for the store and start putting in some requests with that person. I have always been accomodated when I have done this.

Just asked for some Sorachi Ace and Hitachino Nest to be ordered the other day.

There is no way that the Innes Road LCBO or the King Edward do not order every single beer that they have the opportunity to. Both stores have serious problems keeping beer in stock.
