You mean you don't buy your beer based on sales volumes???? :o Why else would TBS make the top ten so accessible? Heck, the LCBO is right on their heels, having dedicated most of their refrigerator space to North American lagers and their European counterparts.

Maybe next year the Ontario Brewing Awards should recognize the "Best Euro Lager displacing cold storage space from Ontario Craft Beer" award. Any idea of the winner?

This is a travesty!!! Acoording to the Beer Store hardly any of these are true types of Beer.

Where's "Best Ice Beer", "Best Malt Beer" or "Best Dry Beer"?!?!? Don't these people know anything.

And, if they're considering adding "Best Buck-A-Beer" to the awards, all I have to say is, "It's about damned time."

The Beer Store make up their own intentionally vague language.

Like Scientology isn't it. A contrived language & a cult-like "just accept it" mentality in order to befuddle people. Befuddled people can't make wise choices, and keeping them befuddled allows others to screw with them.

Acquiesce, consume, and go with the flow. Obey the Big Ten Commandments, and don't crane like a fool at those bottles way up there on the top shelves, forgotten in dust like pathetic pawn shop relics.

Ahh there's the word that says it all. Pathetic.

You are pathetic, Beer Store. Your product presentation and service is utterly pathetic, and so is your transparent propaganda. I simply don't like you. You don't offer a proper retail environment and you don't understand that one and only type of product in which you specialize. It's obnoxious that you exist out of pure, worthless defiance. End of manifesto.
