Whoops! TBS website

Post by Belgian »

Do The Beer Store actually believe what they proclaim on their website?
Established in 1927, The Beer Store is the primary distribution and sales channel for beer in Ontario. The Beer Store is owned by Labatt Brewing Company Ltd., Molson Canada and Sleeman Breweries Ltd., and provides access to any brewer in the world. For Ontario beer drinkers, The Beer Store offers the greatest selection, best value - and it's always served cold.

(Hooray for the near-Monopoly, hey well done you guys!)

The Beer Store is owned by Labatt Brewing Company Ltd., Molson Canada and Sleeman Breweries Ltd...

(Maybe not so great given point "A")

... and provides access to any brewer in the world.

(Since when? Define "Access." Aren't they taking a little too much personal credit by implying they have an open-arms retail policy?)

For Ontario beer drinkers, The Beer Store offers the greatest selection...


( - compared to - what - Dubai and Yemen? Oh WAIT you mean greatest selection IN ONTARIO.... riiiight -- See point "A")

... best value...


(- Again, relative to what competing market we could shop in? Not the USA where Blue is cheaper!)

and it's always served cold.

(- Not it isn't. Not only I have been handed over many a warm six-pack of beer at TBS, they never "serve" me a damn drop because that's illegal in Ontario.)


Be nice if TBS could at least get their facts straight instead of bragging about nonsense.

All kidding aside - yes. (And that was their own intentional doing.)
