Message northropfrye beers 4425 º places 327 º 22:42 Sun 9/21/2014 Hey, a friend of mine is in Sidney, Vancouver Island right now and is willing to bring me back some beer to Manitoba. I don’t know what he could find there. Does anyone know what the stores there might have and what beers to ask him to look for (that I can’t get in Manitoba)? Thanks!
Message fiulijn P beers 28370 º places 745 º 23:02 Sun 9/21/2014 There is actually a lot on the island, you should start saying what you want; only locals or also USA/Europe? Which styles do you prefer? Look at the recent releases of breweries like Driftwood (maybe the best in BC) and Phillips (they released recently an anniversary DIPA); is there anything that you would like to get? (You can sort the beers by date on the brewery page)
Message dresden beers 1581 º places 119 º 15:19 Mon 9/22/2014 Well, Sartori was released today, so that seems obvious.

Message CapFlu P beers 5136 º places 238 º 18:17 Mon 9/22/2014 Sold out in Victoria in one day
Message CapFlu P beers 5136 º places 238 º 18:23 Mon 9/22/2014 Does your friend have a car?
Message northropfrye beers 4425 º places 327 º 20:32 Mon 9/22/2014 I’m pretty sure he flew out there so I don’t think he has a car. He just said there were a couple beer stores near his hotel or wherever he’s staying. Sartori is all gone? Shoot...
Message CapFlu P beers 5136 º places 238 º 21:17 Mon 9/22/2014 Sorry... Last year it sold out in one day. If you’re into ciders, Sea Cider Pippins is great. Driftwood Bird of Prey, Singularity, Old Cellar Dweller. .... and the. Best in BC: http://www.ratebeer.com/BestInMyArea.asp?CountryID=39&StateID=53

Message EskimoDave beers 2 º 07:26 Tue 9/23/2014 CapFlu is exaggerating. It’s hasn’t even all been delivered yet. Sydney/Saanich Peninsula should be getting theirs today.

Anybody knows who is selling it in Vancouver? Does it sell very quickly? Central City will have it,as well as Viti at the Met and 8th St store in New West, and it won’t sell out as quickly in those 3. Also, the John B pub is getting 2 kegs.
Message gnashville beers 4 º 00:21 Wed 9/24/2014 We still have some Sartori, I can certainly put aside some for both of you (If your friend can make it to Victoria). We did definitely sell 4 of our 6 cases in 2 days, it doesn’t last long.
