Any chance of getting some Curmudgeon into #249? They carry Knife and also had Gun, but I haven't seen any IPA there yet...
I usually end up buying out most of the Knife stock myself, but I've been a bit neglectful this month due to all the great seasonal releases.
i dont think ive even called hamilton area stores yet. i was off for the first two weeks of march and when i got back last week i had to deliver to all the stores that had phoned in orders. i did call around to fill in holes in some delivery routes but we also were completely sold out of the first bottling by last wednesday.
we bottled more last thursday and now have plenty of stock to go around.
i will call #249 tommorow and see if they will take some but they are still showing plenty of knife the good news is they have sold out of gun. they may be reluctent to take another order until they move more knife but you never know.
Wow, thanks Matt! The Knife stock is my fault. I usually buy loads of it, but I've been busy with all the great seasonal releases this month. I think I grabbed the last few Gun that were there for my cellar. A few of them had November bottling dates which I thought was odd, but that just means they have a bit more age on them already .
I had to go all the way to Dundurn to get some Curmudgeon today, so they're down to 8 or less .

C'mon, their IIPA isn't THAT bad. I think the #9 is a decent approachable IPA for someone who's finally figured out Keith's is a piss poor example.

That is a fair comment. For a person who is new to craft beer, #9 is decent. I have seen that first had. But from the point of view of an experienced craft beer drinker, #9 is not worth spending money on.
Matt,#200 is interested in getting your seasonals again. Contact Mari (pronounced Mahh-ree) and she'll hook up the seasonals. Make sure to tell her they are seasonals and that I told you to call for her.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

what store #?
623 or 590 is probably the best bet, they typically carry all the seasonals and special releases
536 will bring in the seasonal release stuff too usually. Not sure the number but the Bayview & St. John in Aurora stocks the same if you need another store to round out a trip
