The Bar Towel

Karmageddon in the LCBO for 4 bucks a can is an impossible value to beat. Packaged Jan 23.

This makes me wish Sierra Nevada was still at the LCBO. Maybe Torpedo will be available one day.

You got that right. I usually don't stress about beers coming and going but that's one I will miss. I'll probably buy the mix packs when I'm driving through Buffalo in the future now.

This is kind of the opposite of a new arrival, but I contacted the agent that deals with Boon and they said the LCBO rejected their order(?) for a summer shipment.

I'm not sure the mechanics behind this, but they sold really well, certainly faster than similar stuff.

Well, this Boon lover is tremendously disappointed. Were they given a reason for the rejection?

Like you, I thought it sold very well.

I didn't get more information beyond the LCBO rejected their request to sell the non-oude kriek that was available recently.

With the prices of some of the local sours and IPAs at the higher end micros, Boon's normal stuff is pretty price competitive. My own biases, but I'd buy cases of their standard oude geuze.

Likewise!
