The hugely coveted Westvleteren 12 is in LCBO stores now—but not for long

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
