The Bar Towel

Ha! I remember that. I still have three bottles of Adam from that order. Anyone interested?

This whole online thing started out with a few new beers, since then there hasn't really been much to talk about. Wonder if this is going to be like the 'brewery features' thing and get cancelled as well.

There are some interesting beers coming into Ontario...but the importers / agents aren't putting them up for online purchases by the public.
They really should have new stuff every single week for this to gain any traction at all. I doubt the importers are willing to do that when they can just sell to bars/restaurants with bigger orders.

just as I commented about nothing new.. something new! From Esprit?

I'm pretty sure the LCBO is still artificially limiting supply to 20 cases at a time. So it'll probably be back soon.

Comment withdrawn... wrong thread. Oops.

those 4 are on the the esprit agency price list that i got in june, but these prices are about 2/3 of what was on the esprit list

i asked.

"In regards to the above product, we are aware that it is currently out of stock but are unable to provide an exact time frame as to when it will be available online again. We unfortunately must wait for confirmation from the supplier of when they have set aside dedicated inventory for sale through the LCBO web site. Please continue to check the web site on a regular basis for updates as they become available. "

I also asked about the possibility of "back in stock" notifications.

you make a great point re: back in stock notifications, this is something we intend to do in the future for sure.

Though I won't hold my breath and will likely just whip up some script to constantly check the pages for changes and notify me accordingly.

Craft Beer Advent Calendar now back in stock online. Extra cases from a private order, I think.
