I think this is essentially the price for which it sells at the brewery. I don't believe the LCBO is gouging.spinrsx wrote:lcbo prices are usually more than fair.. 8$ for a 12oz non barrel aged old ale? Is this pretty much the going rate for this stuff?
It is. Kuhnhenn has some of the most overpriced beer out there. Generally speaking, 12 oz bottles of anything they sell start at $7 at the brewery. Regular 4D was either $7 or $8 a bottle at the brewery back in December.ChrisK wrote:I think this is essentially the price for which it sells at the brewery.

Grabbed a box of hopwired today. Was disappointed to see the production date on the label December 11, 2012... Still tastes pretty good, but can imagine it would've been better. I guess I'll have to drink them quickly. Damn...spinrsx wrote:8 Wired HopWired IPA now in stock, as well as DDC Chaman Imperial Pale Ale
Thanks for the heads-up. I likely won't be buying a single bottle. I am getting so sick of the LCBO and its stale IPAs...Masterplan wrote:Grabbed a box of hopwired today.

So how fast do you expect the LCBO to get a batch of beer from New Zealand to every doorstep in Ontario? I figure 4 months is decent, and expecting more is wishful thinking. If you want fresh, drink local.TheSevenDuffs wrote:Thanks for the heads-up. I likely won't be buying a single bottle.

One of the LCBO's I called said there were upwards of 3,000 units. I guess that means bottles.spinrsx wrote:do we know how much of this stuff is in ontario? Will this be hard to get?

but understanding that this is a product best enjoyed fresh the brewery, importer and LCBO could have figured out a way too get the product here in a quarter of that time, or, could have chosen a less perishable product to shlep across the globeiguenard wrote:So how fast do you expect the LCBO to get a batch of beer from New Zealand to every doorstep in Ontario?

Actually, 4 months is a long time. Shipping from New Zealand is relatively quick, and often. I get my shipments taking just 2 weeks leaving from NZ to arriving in Vancouver. You could then add another few days getting them across to Ontario.iguenard wrote: So how fast do you expect the LCBO to get a batch of beer from New Zealand to every doorstep in Ontario?

I'd agree with you if they were delivered by tall ship in wooden barrels to give us an authentic historic IPA experience....iguenard wrote:So how fast do you expect the LCBO to get a batch of beer from New Zealand to every doorstep in Ontario?
