esprit addressed this in another thread:

"As is often the case with new General Listings, the LCBO under orders almost always guaranteeing a sell out. We pushed hard for a larger order only to be rebuffed and now, once again, get to say "we told you so". Good news is we've got 2 orders in the pipeline and should see a new shipment arrive every 2 months and we'll stay on top of them to ensure there are no future stockouts. Both Premiere and White Cap are in stock and we are aggressively monitoring inventory levels to ensure an uninterrupted supply."

I picked up 24 today and it cost me just north of $61.00.....a steal if you ask me and likely also a mistake but I hope not

I thought it was a mistake as well so bought a bunch.

My work and I have been buying 10-15 cases of various beers from Espirit every six months or so. Pricing on the rocheforts below.

ROCHEFORT 6 $4.85
ROCHEFORT 8 $5.95
ROCHEFORT 10 $6.10

Quite the savings. Kind of pisses me off at the same time though after spending so much before. I just hope the Rochefort 10 makes it the LCBO for $2.55 or a simlar price.

taste-wise, how would you compare the 8 to the 10?
i've read that the 8 is a less complex version of the 10

Central City Imperial Ipa For Autism showing stock now

looks like there is more than enough of this stuff to go around.. some of the stock levels are staggering

1. PICKERING 1899 BROCK RD UNIT K3 697 Units
2. TORONTO-CENTRAL 10 SCRIVENER SQUARE 567 Units

Of course, I guess there are certain set costs with any order - large or small - that must be spread over the total number of units. Just like when driving to Buffalo, you are 'agreeing' to a less cost-efficient way of buying the beer you really want. The LCBO's buying tons of Rochefort 8 might spread the fixed costs very cheaply and they seem to pass on the savings.

What's really a turn-off is the same bar will charge wildly different prices for the 8 and 10 when their cost difference was tiny. I think this is kinda pulling my dick a little too much so I often don't buy those.

Yes but Roche 8 only scores 97 on BeerAdvocate, while Roche 10 scores 100!! [sarcasm]
