Ditto.

Not in Ont right now, but that's what I dreamed of when I was there. Russian River or Lost Abbey would also make me pee my pants (both made it into Sask, although briefly, so there's hope).

Great minds think alike my friend.

And Three Floyds.

And to invert the question, I'd love to see Great Lakes (ON) bottling/LCBOing all of their one-offs...

I'd like to see Central City in regular LCBO stock and on tap around town. Private order prices this great brewery out of the game for me.

It's not just private order prices in Ontario which take this outta the game. Here in Alberta we're paying $17.99 a six pack; that's $4.00 higher than virtually every other domestic and US 6 pack. A 6 of Anchor Liberty Ale is only $14.00 and far superior, IMHO.

I like to support local and home grown, but not when the pricing is outta kilter!

Why are they so expensive?

And apologies for going off topic.

Ditto all the above.

Also: Great Lakes (MI), Sierra Nevada, multiple listings from Rogue, Southern Tier and Dogfish Head, more QC beers, the Delerium lineup (Tremens, Noel, Nocturne).

I guess I'm saying that I want the LCBO's beer selection to resemble that of a USA/Euro bottle shop as closely as possible.
