What was the pricing on the first order?

Definitely would be in for a few bottles. Let me know how the process goes. I would go for the purchase, but I have no mode of transport besides the TTC.

I'm not crazy about the oaked Yeti myself. Too much raw wood tannin!

How'd you guys find the Porter or ESB?

So, how exactly do you split up the order?

Are you asking how we each get our full cases, or how we split up cases?

If the former - each of us submits our order to the LCBO, and they combine them into a single order to the brewery. Once the beer arrives, they let each person who ordered know that it's in, and you have to go down to Cooper Street to pick it up (or if you live outside Toronto, have it shipped to your closest LCBO).

If the latter - you have to find a person or persons to split case(s) with, and then one of you has to place the order for the full case(s), and then split it up amongst yourselves when the beer arrives.

oh... I didn't figure it was for a whole case of each. I wanted to try a bottle of each. Guess I'm out then

I'm in for a case or two

I'd like to try as many as I can, I'll buy a case and trade, as long as this happens in or after June. Stupid summer jobs...

The prices look pretty reasonable actually. I'd love to get myself a case of Hercules.

I expect the prices will be higher this time since I don't think there will be as many orders. We ordered almost 100 cases last time, which really brought down the shipping costs.

I've heard rumours that Great Divide has no interest in dealing with the LCBO again so all of this may be for nothing. Someone should contact them to see if this is even likely.

An email has been sent. I'll post the reply when I get it.
