    It is linked off of LCBO Watch twitter feed which is great but it has so many tweets it's hard to follow.
    And just to correct my previous post, it was Peter Lopaty not Lopati.

    Horizon beers has more than likely stolen all.

    Horizon reps for some of those brands in other provinces so it wouldn't be surprising.

    Founders Breakfast stout is showing online. Hopefully in stores soon. Cheers. (Also heard news of CBS being released in December, Idk if Canada will be apart of that release.)

    That's good news for Breakfast. As for CBS, what I was told from two stateside stores is that it might be quite limited. Not sure if they're saying that because it has been historically or if they were told so

    Yea I just emailed founders if they knew any information both people were making it seem they had no news of CBS was even being released at all. Weird. I just need to mark it off my list.. I had a 2011 one back in June but oxidized to garbage. Doesn't count

    If history is any guide with the LCBO, it’ll be USSR style bread line queues for BCBS or CBS.

    Jokes aside, a lottery (Vintages Shop Online) would be more fair, and give all people in Ontario not close to the Summerhill LCBO an equal and democratic chance of getting an allocation. #rantover

    I doubt we're getting CBS. BCBS more likely, but stil...

    A certain person named Brian who is well connected to LCBO management said CBS will come in, although may be single bottle allocation. Brian has never got any major release wrong. Backwoods Bastard (Brian also said would be coming) has an LCBO SKU but no stores show inventory just yet. $4 a bottle is a bargain.

    I actually talked to lcbo online and they said they are "expecting" CBS. They said to ask them again end of November for more news like where and when. Soooooo I mean I have have hopes.

    As far as BCBS... from what I know.. its going to be good, but also bad situation

    Ok. Do you have less cryptic insight re: BCBS? :s

    Looking at past releases, LCBO has either put product on Vintages Shop Online (e.g. Utopias) or rationed in-store, particularly at Queens Quay, Summerhill and Bank St (Ottawa). A bias toward 3 stores is not fair. IMO they should put all the stuff like BCBS on VSO and make it a lottery - like they do for trophy wines from Burgundy (e.g. DRC, Rousseau). If I learn any more about quantities and timing, will update here.

    Founders Instagram feed less than an hour ago officially confirms return of CBS on December 1 ... time to wait and see.

    Just received the following reply from the brewery to my Instagram comment regarding LCBO distribution: "Most likely mid-to-late December is when you'll see it!"
