The Bar Towel

Ah, the great LCBO beer frenzy. Brings back memories of one of the first frenzies, DFH 60...

This might be the most entertaining Bar Towel thread ever.

I'm especially amused by the reference to this being a LITERAL shitshow. Some great imagery there...

Is it an Ontario Shitshow or a Saskatchewan Shitshow....I believe there is a world of difference?

Or maybe a Nova Scotia Shitshow...

All I'm saying is, I'm not counting my shit chickens before they hatch!

Also, I heard this beer tasted like shit.

It's true and I should take responsibility for that. Sorry about that.

I have to be honest: I suffer from pretty severe anxiety (like, sick-leave inducing, and an once a hospital stay anxiety) this time of year, and as silly and unimportant as a beer is, not knowing whether I'm not I'm going to get it is really adding to that - and I'm not even a huge fan of Belgians.

Anyway it's kind of stupid in the grand scheme of things, and we all probably need to try to relax.

Cheers.

Yeah you're right. This is where the limit per person comes in handy. I think a lot of the bars that would sell this got enough when Peter had it several months back now.

I think it will be easier to get outside of Toronto to be honest.

Sometimes I don't understand their rationale for distribution; I've been told that Windsor is not on their distribution list, but that 3 stores in London are. I don't like it, but I understand when GTA is the main focus, but if there is going to be wider distribution, I don't understand what qualifies London to get 3 locations and Windsor none.

I have been assured (two separate sources) that there will be no distribution where I live/work.

Perhaps it won't be as bad as the Deus debacle.
