Toronto could certainly support a small section of vintages devoted to better beers. BTW, I was in Premier for the first time over the weekend and if you haven't been it will only make you hate the LCBO more.
The standard reply is look at the prices at Premier. Frankly, I don't think the LCBO is interested in getting involved in something that low-volume. That is why the market needs to be opened up. However, I think you are correct. A good beer store would flourish in Toronto (even Rochester has a great beer store). And, I would patronize it, even if the prices were higher.
