    Hey Ottawa/Gatineau BA's! Before I ask my question I know all the limitations and the stupid things attributed with this law passing (paying 2 percent to the beerstore ect...) but I just read this article.
    http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local...ery-stores-able-to-sell-suds-starting-tuesday .

    Now Again knowing the details and abv limitations, 6 packs only ect..., College Square market says they're gonna carry a bunch of local crafts. If any other curious BA stops by wanna just let us know what They're carrying?? thanks

    Word on the street is that the ordering was a bit of a mess so Loblaws just went for the top ten 'craft' from the LCBO. They will be working on the ordering system and working with breweries to get brewery to store delivery ASAP.

    I love the quote:

    “We’ll be the destination for craft beer drinkers.”

    Not the LCBO or TBS 40 metres away

    I remember seeing in a US craft beer documentary a store that just stocked beers from microbreweries. I thought it be great if we had a similar thing here in Canada. I know there are some beers from out west that we don't get here in the east that I'd like to try.

    All beers in grocery stores have to be LCBO listings
