Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
This is kind of the opposite of a new arrival, but I contacted the agent that deals with Boon and they said the LCBO rejected their order(?) for a summer shipment. I'm not sure the mechanics behind this, but they sold really well, certainly faster than similar stuff. Well, this Boon lover is tremen...

Re: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Although it has been discontinued, it seemingly has been restocked at a bunch of stores. I assume not new stuff, but maybe they found a few crates in the back room.

Re: Zwanze
I debated getting a sixer of something, but I spent too much already. That Tilquin cognac was so good.
Besides the two rare Loons, there was an Antidoot that was also $19 for 3 ounces.

Great lineup, but some of the rarer stuff was $19 for 3 ounces.

Re: Booze in Toronto Parks - 2023 Pilot Program
The parks not included are commonly because of NIMBY councillors and residents.
The city does have a generic sign it uses that is less zazzy and more easy to miss.

Re: Any new beers at Rogers Centre this year?
I actually was thinking of bringing in water, but a non-alcoholic beer is an even better idea. I can't say if these are the only ones available. Perhaps if sales are good they will improve selection. I did remember last year seemed better. I guess they took the same approach as roster construction. ...

I had a can of the P'tite Maudite this year and it was solid.
Unibroue's golden age was a bit before my time, so I don't have nostalgia as others do.

Re: Any new beers at Rogers Centre this year?
Funny how the pricing there is so divorced from the real world pricing of those beers. Henderson golden Ale (assuming that's the Rush beer) is $3.40, Jelly King is $6.50. They clearly just price everything at what they think the highest amount they can get away with is. I'd totally get a Jelly King...

Re: Any new beers at Rogers Centre this year?
From user drrdf, via Reddit.
Craft:
Henderson Golden Ale and Bellwoods Jelly King.
Pseudo-Craft:
Mill Street Organic and IPA
All priced at $14. Personally, I'd bring my own non-alcoholic drink and get something better after the game.

They switched to the spring biennial format. They said harvests and timing were the issues. I think they were overworked for that time of the year.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Tough spot for bottle shops. As you mention the lack of wholesale pricing for me only makes sense if there is something that doesn't ship. I wonder if Quebec's system is better than ours. Depaneurs are cheaper than our bottle shops, but for good beer, I wouldn't really call it great. Five to seven d...
