bottles of Sgt. Major's IPA...

I'm compiling a list fo LCBO and Beer Stores to put my Sgt. Major's IPA into in the GTA. Which LCBO's are best for beer? I'm also going to put our Black Irish Porter out in 650ml singles in the LCBO only. Porter dosen't seem to sell well in the Beer Store, perhaps because of the association with Labatt's Velvet Cream Porter, or the now defunct Dow Porter, both of which were sickly sweet.
Any suggestions regarding stores would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I'd say definitely the following:

Queen's Quay
Davisville
Bayview Village

I'd like to suggest the LCBO on Brock just north of Queen St. W. in Toronto, since it's just a couple of blocks from my house, but that would be selfish of me since the beer selection there isn't great so it probably wouldn't be a good location.

However, as I mentioned previously, the Beer Store on Brock has a great selection and would be a good location to consider for your Beer Store offerings.

The LCBO on Spadina north of Dundas also has a pretty nice beer selection, and tends to get in most of the special seasonal beer releases and other good stuff. So definately consider them for the Porter.

I concur with Bayview Village and I would add Weston Rd.

The LCBO at Yonge & Summerhill is also a very beer-friendly location.

Perry:

Had another pint of your IPA the other night, and I just wanted to say once again how much I enjoy this brew. It's been awhile since I had had it and I had forgotten just how good it is. Can't wait until it's available in bottles. How's that going?

Thanks for the kind words Joe. The IPA will be on cask at the Judge again next week. As fotr the bottles, it is taking a little more time than anticipated. I'm looking at January now, if all goes to plan.
