That was my impression too. Don't want to stir up any panic but I wouldn't be surprised if it all goes over the weekend.

The web site lists a limit of 6 bottles per person. Maybe they didn't actually stick to that...

They may have been. I expect they were if that is on their site. I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

most people at noon were only grabbing 4 and yeah the limit was 6, i was the only one leaving with a case. (only 4 of BOYD but im a good hour and a half away so always grab a case worth of bellwoods beers)

having it now, this is excellent! agree with Jeffs observations, just a quality barrel aging without being over powered by the cognac.

When I grabbed a few BOYD bottles around 2 today...they were numbered in the 800s. No idea if they sort of sold them in 'order' though.

They were not selling them in any order. I got bottles anywhere from 74 all the way through to 246.

Stopped by earlier still have lots left. And not selling in any order. I've got six bottles between 50 to 800.

I am curious about what this place is like? I am going to be in Toronto next weekend and I was thinking of stopping by but is there any kind of tasting area where you can try stuff before you buy, or are you pretty much stuck sitting at the bar? I am just wondering since I am going to be with my wife and my 2 year old, and something more formal like with waiters and that kind of thing, might not really work.

Bar area and retail store are completely separate. No tasting in retail store. Bar area welcoming and informal, but can get crowded. "Waiters" would be putting too fine a point on it!

If the weather's good, the patio would be a nice spot for you & family as it's got picnic tables and a casual vibe, especially during the day.

I will see if I can try that, although it might be tough. My wife doesn't really like beer (plus she is pregnant) so she might not be up for sitting around while I drink. Plus the trip is for her birthday so spending a bunch of time enjoying my hobby might not work. Is there any other cool stuff that she might like in the same neighborhood?

Well, the Ossington strip is basically just bars & restaurants, so not much to see around there. A wander along Queen Street West & Trinity Bellwoods park is always interesting, if she's up for walking right now!
