    BC Gov't stores just received a large shipment (1050 bottles each) of Sofie and Matilda. $7.95 for 765 ml.

    :grimacing: !!

    and i thought cost of living was supposed to be so much higher on the Left Coast :wink: ! That's really incredible; I remember $9 o-rings of old milwaukee at the liquor stores back in my Vancouver days.

    Do we really think bcbs will come here soon? The states don't all see it do they? Personally I really hope bcbs comes here asap but I just don't want to get to excited.

    The LCBO has been carrying Sofie and Matilda for a least a year now, but never have I seen the elusive BCBS in the wild (read: it didn't ever hit shelves here).

    When I talked to some of the Goose Island folks at the migration events in Washington in 2013, they suggested to me that they were going to be brewing quite a bit more BCBS, but I guess we'll see?

    Yeah our system can be great at times and also frustrating at others. Overall it is hard to be unhappy at our recent distribution.

    Oh, I know the LDB; I have to work with them everyday. The LCBO is quite similar; what they bring in is solid and you can never complain about pricing. Distribution & quantity is another matter, but pricing is always good.

    2 Dollars cheaper then Ontario. Surprising.

    But I thought the LCBO, while bad, did get a cheaper price for their users! :wink: FYI: MLLC is no better either.

    Are they sending all the other regular but lame beers such as honkers pale and the wheat ? That stuff was selling for $5 a six in Maui because no one wanted it and the warehouse on the island was awash in it.

    At Fort & Foul Bay in Oak Bay/Victoria it's displayed almost as a wine instead of superior craft brew for $7.95 ,
    must be the cork's

    It's a cap closure, but yes, the packaging is very winey.
