Hopefully the first of many from the south west, what other Californian beers do we get here besides Anchor?

I expect it will be reasonable. The LCBO brings in so much product from California that shipping costs are much lower per unit than from most other places, so will help keep prices down.

Probably depends on how much we drink and how fast we buy it up!

Big news. I'll grab a bunch when it comes, and hopefully good sales will lead to more GF releases down the road. Look at the 'BO being all 21st century!
