My locals seemed to get it in 2009 as a batch and never received anymore even though it sold quite quickly. It was pretty much done by Fall 2009.
I came across some in July 2010 in another area and picked up 12 and judging by the date it was part of that original 09 release. They had 7 sixes I bought 2 and they still show 5 left, so the only person who bought some in 5 months was an out of towner.
I suspect any that is still showing in inventory was from last year although what I had still tasted quite good, mind you it was over 30C then.
I remember last winter it was really scarce.. just a few bottles in the system and I was sure it was a goner, but it came back. I haven't had it in a few months but Sprague11 gave me a trade which tasted similar, albeit not as strong, and now I miss it once more.

And those may be the last you ever see at an LCBO location, as I've heard from a reliable source that Prima Pils has been officially delisted due to poor sales.
It's now official. At the LCBO website it says Prima Pils discontinued. There aren't too many left on shelves.

I picked up a six this summer at Crossroads, there was one nestled away in the back of the fridge which I just cracked, date code 0509 - could be a number in front of it but not clear

That was the date on the batch I bought, May 2009. I was a little sceptical about buying it with the dust and all but it tasted fine. I dont know if I would go back and buy anymore since its done.
