The hugely coveted Westvleteren 12 is in LCBO stores now—but not for long
| December 12, 2012
Westvleteren 12, the ultra-rare Belgian Trappist ale we told you about last month, finally appeared on LCBO shelves today, after many delays. The only problem: it’s disappearing within mere minutes, with beer geeks and bandwagon jumpers lining up to buy a case of six for $76.85. We called around to see where it’s still in stock.
- Queens Quay and Yonge: already sold out of about 110 cases
- Bayview Village: have not received their allotment of 10–15, but it could appear any time
- Avenue and Lawrence: waiting for about 10 cases
- Royal Bank Plaza: cases will appear tomorrow, although they’re “not at liberty to say” how many
- Cornwall and Trafalgar (Oakville): 30 cases will be available at 9 a.m. on Friday morning
- King and Spadina: expecting 20 cases on Thursday or Friday
- Bloor and Bay (Manulife Centre): expecting 10 cases today, which will be made available tomorrow (lineups are expected starting at around 7 a.m.)
- Carlton and Church: will put out their allotment of 12 cases when it arrives, as early as today
- Highway 401 and Weston (Crossroads): sold out
- Queen and Coxwell: expecting a shipment of 30 cases tomorrow
- Yonge and Summerhill: sold out
- Dupont and Spadina: sold out
- King and Dufferin: haven’t yet received expected shipment and not sure if it’s coming
- Bloor and Royal York: expecting shipment tomorrow
- Laird and Eglinton: expecting 50 cases tomorrow, hopefully for sale at 9 a.m.
- Spadina and Dundas: expecting a small shipment on Friday morning; all cases have now left the main LCBO warehouse
