. Packs featuring popular, top-selling brands.
. Packs featuring, unique, niche brands, not already carried at the LCBO.

Tis the season. These puppies should start showing up soon, no? Last year they started to show up around mid-October if I recall.

Hoping for some new offers this year!

I don't know if it's a holiday gift, but the 750mL Duvel w/glass is showing up online.

Certainly not groundbreaking news, but there were a handful of Schmucker Bio-Pils at Queen's Quay this aft. I didn't know this was coming, nor did I even know what it was (I'm assuming it fits into the Organic Beers category, along with the Boris and Duchy, appearing at various dates throughout the year). I picked one up. We'll see...

Why don't the packs ever include inappropriate accessories - like a hash pipe or some raunchy Hentai or something? Would it send the wrong message?
