I check the Atrium on Bay and Manulife Centre locations for these, according to the website they both have the beer, but both stores thought I was crazy. They'd never heard of this promotion.

If anyone sees these in Toronto, please post which location.

Of course I went in without the printout of the LCBO inventory postion page but they were really helpful to solve the problem and really didn't think I was on crack or anything. The one employee actually remembered seeing it in the, SteelbackGuy help me out here, "image book"???

The image book is a book that each store gets before the beginning of each period. It contains planograms for the period, LTO information, which products are on display, so on and so forth. It also tells us where to put certain displays and how we should have them set up.

I don't rightly know. I do know that my store doesn't have any. Happy hunting in any event.

Only 2 LCBO's in Hamilton carry SA. There appears to be 4 London stores so I guess until the sales rep physically comes into the store to add the glasses. Seems like our area has been done, Ancaster, Grimsby, Hamilton and Stoney Creek

Yeah, I haven't seen the rep around my store. Even when we don't carry the product, they usually swing by to see if we will.
There is also a chance that we won't get any of these because the rep just might not come by at all.

Yep, well it's actually on Caplan, but that's the one. Look in behind the packs at the front. There were a few hiding back there last friday.

Dunno about Bayfield/Hanmer, but they seem to get everything so I wouldn't be surprised.
