I drank one of the July 2012 best before bottles since the LCBO didn't give me a receipt on the purchase. Haven't tried Jaipur fresh so I cant compare but it was still delicious a year after BB. Lots of sediment in mine too but it didn't bother me.

LAZY COMMIE!!! :lol:
Real commies don't cop to being lazy, they're more shifty and try to look constantly occupied, or hide out back near the shipping dock.

2 bottles at Spadina & Dupont??!!! Hopefully it'll show additional stock by the end of the week.

Not sure if anyone mentioned yet, but the Founders CIPA is showing stock (still not 'widely available', but slightly more than the Grand Cru).

For the Ottawa crowd - lots of Panil at Bank & Walkley (Ottawa lots not Toronto lots, like about 25).

Edit: Checking the site, there isn't a whole lot of this anywhere...glad I got some.

There is a bazillion-product display shelf set up at Yonge-Eglinton, only one beer is there so far but it's a sign of progress for Dupont and Kuhnhenn and others.

I put those there this way my co workers know where they go and can't say there wasn't a spot

Quite a lot of the Grand Cru at King and Spadina today.
But the Centennial appears to have sold in a day.
