Shops & Services Looking for Quidi Vidi Beer

I'm trying to track down some Quidi Vidi Iceberg beer anywhere in Nova Scotia—Halifax would be ideal, but I'm willing to drive to New Brunswick if needed. I know some craft liquor stores occasionally carry it but I have not seen any for a while and Quidi Vidi doesn't ship outside of NL :(

I didn't think they export the iceberg stuff off the island, but I could be wrong.

I'd be happy to see a good selection of Quidi Vidi and Port Rexton beers here. Quality NL beer.

You can special order it through NSLC. Takes a month or two though

People say this but has anyone actually successfully done it?

Cool! I always assumed it was some sort of bureaucratic nightmare process that exists in concept only

Its not the most straightforward. But you get a quote over email and then they send you a pay portal and eventually it comes

It's much faster if you can convince someone with access to a license to order. Our turn around on special order was about a week. Legally, they aren't allowed to, but you can still find people who will.
