The LCBO has purchased 70 bottles (710 mL) of Utopias for customers. It will retail for $114.95 per 710 mL bottle. Due to the extremely limited availability of this product, and to ensure all customers have an equal opportunity to purchase it, the LCBO will be offering Utopias via online and telephone orders only – not in LCBO stores.
Orders received by the assigned deadline will be randomly selected. This is the same process that the LCBO uses to offer rare, limited-edition wines through its Vintages fine wine and premium spirits business unit.
The LCBO will accept orders starting January 6, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. up until 6:00 p.m. on January 13, 2011. Given the very limited availability of this product, only one order per customer will be accepted and allocation will be limited to one bottle per customer. We regret that we cannot guarantee that all orders will be filled. Orders randomly selected will be confirmed by either telephone or email on or after January 17, 2011. Orders will be shipped to the LCBO store of the customer’s choice at no extra charge.
Order by Online Form
Submit your order before the deadline using Vintages new Direct Sales Online form. Sign up today for your Online Direct Sales account at
www.vintagesshoponline.com.
Order by Telephone
Submit your order before the deadline by calling Vintages Sales Centre at 416 365-5767, or toll free 1-800-266-4764, Monday to Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
So its like a moose tag, we get a pool going and everyone enters the draw....

It might be a good idea to get a "Bar Towel group" together so if anyone in the group wins we have a tasting party!

I'm putting my name in the lottery for this. I'd be up for a group tasting if I get a bottle (or if someone else does).

I'll be putting my name in the lottery and will happily bring it to some point in Toronto for a tasting if I get chosen.

I WAS going to suggest that, but I wasn't
quite geeky enough.
I am sorry.
At any rate, I
would contribute to a split of this beer - and I vote we give Cass the empty bottle just because he is such a beer guy. If that all works?

I bet if you chilled Utopias in the freezer you could chug it down with less aftertaste.
Bidding's open now, and it is a frenzy - good luck.
