Favorite beer?

Favorite beer you carry?

You follow the TLDR Beer club?

[/ QUOTE ]

I used to drink only Canadian, but I have dabbled in other beers of late. I have become a big fan of Creemore Springs, and somehow picked up a taste for Stella Artois.

We carry both of the beers I mentioned. I wanna try Le Fins Du Monde, but we haven't had it in stock for weeks.

I browsed the Beer club to see what's out there, but I'm not really a connoisseur. Basically if we don't carry it, I don't know it.

Haha, when you said "working at the Beer store," I didn't think it was actually called "The Beer Store".

We are known for our creativity in Canada. Our liquor store is called LCBO (Liquor control board of Ontario).

Plus, the policy is that we ID anyone that looks under 25.

I see signs like this all the time. I think a 17-year-old HS kid who looks like he's 26 has to be the BMOC. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Also, how many fake ID purchases do you come across in an average day?

Not sure if this falls under "corporate decisions," but how do you guys decide what new beers to carry? Have you ever stopped carrying a particular brand? Do customers ever walk in and give reccomendations of new beers to carry, and if so, do you guys ever follow those recs?

Since we are owned by the big 3 breweries (Molson, Labatt, and Sleeman), I would assume that we only carry brands that are in some kind of demand.

Beers get added/pulled all the time, in addition to packaging configurations (e.g. eliminate 6 packs, but can still buy a 12).

We don't really have a process for following recommendations. I assume there is an official procedure, but I have not heard anything about it, and since it's more work for me I don't want to bring it up.

If you count the "I left in my car", and then they leave, I would say 10 - 15. They also tend to come in at certain times (after 9, weekends), and buy certain things (single cans, 40s).

GR,

Is this the place you speak of?

Since the closest American city to me is Buffalo, I will have to say no thanks. (Really nice people there, but the place is a dump).

Yes, but the stores look entirely different now. (Refer to the link I provided earlier and you will see the new look). I personally preferred the old school order the beer and it comes down the chute stores as opposed to the self serve stores.
