The tasting bar is open again so I was able to sample it but the location only had one case. So I scratched to find a back up. So I ended up trying a back up Australia chard but it was too tart for taste for novice drinkers so I asked for some recommendation and assistant manager Ben offered me a Sauvignon blanc that was quite nice for the wine drinker and the novice drinker. It's so nice to have someone so experienced to help me out. Can't wait to return in the spring for more wine.

Whenever I'm in Waterloo and am off to a dinner party or some other function that requires me to…read morebring beer, wine or spirits this is always my LCBO of choice. Being one of the largest LCBOs in Waterloo this location offers a wide variety of specialty products, particularly in the wine and beer category. More than anything I love trying different kinds of beer, and this location seems to offer many that I still have yet to try! So if you're ever looking for some kind of liquor product and you're not sure if the smaller locations will have it you can be pretty confident this one will. Another thing that is great about this location is the knowledgeable staff they have working there. Not only are they knowledgeable but they are very friend and are willing to help if you need it. Great location! Conveniently located with lots of parking in the back!

We gave my son a $50 Beer Store gift card and when he tried to use it, they told him the card…read moredidn't have any money on it. We found out the card was redeemed in Toronto, yet my son was in Ottawa! I called and explained what happened and the person I spoke to said that someone would get back to me. I wasn't hopeful. But then, I got an email from Frank Perry at The Beer Store in Mississauga saying they would be reimbursing us for the gift card - and giving us an extra $10 for the trouble of having to call in!! Apparently, they have had some trouble with people hacking into their gift card system, so I guess we weren't the only one they heard from. I was so happy with the good customer service. Gift cards are like cash and they might have just told us we were out of luck, but to my surprise, they believed us and we got our money back! Thanks so much, Frank!

I'm not sure why it wasn't designed with a walk-in fridge for starters, there's enough foot traffic to warrant it. Also, it always seems like there's a lot of sketchy people visiting this location which also gets me. Especially late at night. Maybe this one simply attracts a lot of grungy people, but it still makes me have my guard up whenever picking up something or dropping off empties.

In the USA, different states had different liquor laws. In California, I could buy wine, beer and…read morehard liquor at grocery stores and drug stores. In Minnesota and Oregon, I could buy wine and beer at grocery stores, but liquors were purchased at licensed liquor stores. I'm still getting used to Ontario, where one can buy wine at 'wine shops', either stand-alone or in certain grocery stores (separate from the rest of the store), beer at 'The Beer Store', or everything at the LCBO. Heck, I'm nothing if not adaptable. On the wine side of things: I like the way the LCBO has organized the wines by region. So far, the local wines fall into two categories for me: affordable but not really drinkable, and drinkable but not really affordable. Which leaves me with imports, which aren't that affordable after paying for importation and -- oh yeah -- the egregious taxes here. Liquor selection: OMG, where the heck is the TEQUILA?! The best stuff they have is Patron Silver! I got so spoiled at Trebol, with somewhere between 80-100 high-end tequilas, and developed such a palate for it... good thing I don't really have the time to drink, these days. *Sigh.* Maybe some kind soul in the U.S. will take pity on us and send us something decent for Christmas...? At least they have Bulleit bourbon, because I haven't liked the Canadian whiskeys I've tried. I miss the Oregon locals: 12 Bridges gin, Crater Lake vodka, all of the beautiful SakeOne sakes... to say nothing of the delicious and affordable local wines and craft beers. Beer, which I didn't learn to love until I moved to Oregon, microbrew capital of the continent, has become a highly limited experience here. Mostly, there are lagers in cans. Yuk. So far, the Stone Hammer dark ale, the Wellington special pale ale, and the Harvest 'taste of Ontario' all meet my standards, but you can't get those just anywhere. (You can get them at Borealis... which is just another reason we end up there so often.) Even the LCBO selection is limited: of the beers I just listed, only the Wellington SPA is available. And then, on the back wall, on the top shelf... Aha! Is that an old friend I spy? It is! Come to mama, Rogue hazelnut ale! Wait, what's this I see? A price tag of... TWELVE DOLLARS?! Really? *Sigh.* I just cannot justify it, and sadly put it back. Being a loquacious beast, I talk about the terrible sorrow of the twelve-dollar beer at the checkout stand. "Twelve dollars?" Asks the woman helping us (Cynthia). "That cannot be right." And she calls the manager over about it, even though I didn't ask; he shrugs and wanders off. She gets annoyed with him, and grabs someone else to do a proper price check -- it's only SIX dollars! Huzzah! I get to go home with my prize -- thank you, Cynthia. That kind of service really deserves to be rewarded; one of the stars above is for you specifically. I'd love to see you promoted to manager!
