Beer at Penguin Pick-Up
Posted: Mon Jun 24, 2019 6:35 pm
I stumbled onto the Penguin Pick-Up at Church and Bloor the other day, and noticed they were selling alcohol. Namely, a few Rainhard products, some wine, and precisely one type of spirit (Reid's gin). Here's their selection: https://www.penguinfresh.com/collections/beer-liquor
Never heard about this before, but it seems they have a special license that lets you order products for pick-up right on the spot. It's an interesting distribution model, in that they're working with local producers to let you order beverage alcohol for takeaway at roughly the same price you'd pay at an LCBO.
Anyone have more information about it? I liked the fact that they had Rainhard in stock, including a couple labels I haven't seen elsewhere. Plus they have snacks, groceries, etc. (Although I still don't see why you couldn't offer the same takeaway service at any bar or restaurant in town...)
