So excuse my joining this party late, does this mean drinkvine is useless right now? I got the email from drinkvine about this, but I didn't really understand if it meant the whole thing had gone pear shaped or not.

The search is broken and the stock numbers are only current as of the morning before the LCBO website update (Wednesday morning). So the numbers listed are probably ok right now, but are going to get out of line fast.
Ralph is working on finding a new method of accessing the stock levels using the new system, but it'll take a little time.

I got the same form response to my complaint, but without even the useful info of that link.
FYI, the LCBO search function at
http://lcbosearch.com still works. And appears up to date, I think.

The response I got informed me that the vintages website still has an advanced search just like the old LCBO site....so I've been using that one.

The official LCBO iPhone app still works as well. I used it to track down a few things yesterday.

So we're back up and running.
It turns out that lcboapi.com was also affected, but Carsten is fast and got his crawler updated very quickly. drinkvine is now using lcboapi.com for some things and crawling the vintages site for others.
There's bound to be some quirks as result of the changes. Please submit feedback, or tweet us or PM me here if you notice anything.
Cheers,
Ralph

I know you hear this a lot, but never enough. Drinkvine is awesome, thank you for the work you do to make our beer searching so much easier. I felt naked for those couple of days when you were down!

Ditto. Really appreciate all the work you do Ralph. I know YOU know how much we value it, but sometimes it's nice to hear it said (errr....typed).

Is there any way to see the cities for your search results? I.e. without clicking on the location.

I just scored a St. Ambroise Vitage Ale three pack/vertical pack at an LC in Brampton. Kinda lucky since I never had one when they came out. It was $14.95... anyone remember how much it was when it came out? It isn't listed on either site now. I feel like it was the exact same price.
