2021 Spring Ontario Craft Beers and Imports at the LCBO
2021 Spring Ontario Craft Beers and Imports at the LCBO
Any news on the Spring release yet?
Or summer or fall?
Nope. They changed the LCBO TRO site and I can't find a goddamn thing.
I've been happily using https://lcbo.watch/new-releases to keep an eye on new releases as they're listed. It's not quite the same as having the seasonal lists as I've noticed some beers show up in store that I never saw on the website, but it's been pretty handy overall.

I use this too, and also occasionally see a beer that didn't show on this list, but it's very good overall.seangm wrote:I've been happily using https://lcbo.watch/new-releases to keep an eye on new releases as they're listed.

It is now showing new listings for many holiday gift packs.
Nice! My favourite time of year, gift pack and dark beer season. A couple interesting ones on the list, specifically the Wellington UVB-76 pack. I've yet to try any from that series but I've heard good things.S.

Wow, interesting that they’re releasing that to lcbo. They usually fly off the shelf pretty quickly direct at the brewery. A couple of them the last two years have been absolutely outstanding, and a couple real duds(IMO). The straight up version is really quite nice.

Looks like it’s 3 variants with a glass. I picked up the glass last year, and if it’s the same it’s nice. Stemless goblet with some cool artwork. The Maksim is the stand out beer of the three in the package I think. Really good gift pack.

I've sent a note to one of the guys I know in the LCBO beer department to see if it's possible to get the seasonal release lists again.
