I sure hope founders doesn't take any hit for the LCBO selling so many bottles at 75%+ off I imagine Founders has invoiced/will invoice the LCBO for the bottles they've sent here, and the accounting error is entirely on the LCBO. They wouldn't have any recourse to pay the supplier less because they...

Another screwup for the CBS At Summerhill today. The Founders website said that it would go on sale at 9:30 and to line up at 8:30. It has since been changed to 11:00 on their site. The good people at the LCBO were willing to sell to those silly few who got here before opening so that we wouldn’t h...

I'm a fan of tripel karmeliet myself. can't think of any decent Ontario tripels...nor any decent quads or dubbels that weren't one offs. I can't think of any tripel, dubbel or quad brewed in Ontario that can stand up to the top Belgians. Those three styles almost seem untouchable, but I guess it's ...

Just came across Tø Ol Black Ball porter. First I've seen it, totally forgot it was coming. Am I late to the party or did it really take this long to get here?

I'm guessing its appearance on shelves is still a mistake, I'm sure the stock will be listed accurately once the formal launch event and roll out happens next week.

Seems like they took CBS off the website but it can still be found on shelves. They just put out a case at Ellesmere & Victoria Park. Grabbed a couple more. Just saw that myself, didn't pick any up since I had grabbed four last night. I was wondering if it'd scan through since being removed fro...

The CBS stock in Toronto disappeared before the store even opened. Somebody must have caught that mistake. This is exactly what happened earlier this year when Goose Island released Gillian. A bunch of bottles were sold at Summerhill at a fraction of the price days before it was supposed to be offi...

a case of Heineken is $50 in Ontario, why not drink something fresh and local? sadly a lot of people have really swallowed the marketing hype surrounding these "premium" imports. It's because we are largely commodity consumers, which real craft beers aren't. If you've ever been in the hab...

Today's rauchbier looks very promising, if only because I love Schlenkerla. It'll be nice to try another German rauchbier, definitely not a style we see a lot of. I thought Zwönitzer paid solid tribute to real beechwood smoked malt German brewing and was certainly more accessible to the wonderful H...

The beer market is ginormous. Craft has a small, growing slice. I think there's room for much more craft beer, even if it's mostly bland offerings. Especially when a case of Heineken is $50 in Ontario, why not drink something fresh and local? I also don't understand why anyone would ever pay that m...

CBS showing stock Stock was earmarked and already gone - didn't make it to the shelf. Founders website confirms a "launch" event at Summerhill next Wednesday December 13 at 9:30 with roll out at other LCBO locations to begin December 14. https://foundersbrewing.com/events/cbs-launch-at-su...

Hmm, LCBO site still lists no stock available when I search all stores. Where did you see stock available?

Whenever someone mentions a "deal" like this to me, I always counter with "you get what you pay for".

I certainly agree, I'd much rather drink less volume and enjoy a better beer.
