Better Bottles in Ottawa Canada?????

[Brewer_Steve]

I'm looking for BB's in Ottawa, Canada.
The BB website has a couple brew shops listed, but when I phoned them, they said they've never carried BB and aren't planning on doing so.
I've emailed BB, but they haven't responded.

Shipping from the U.S. isn't a good option for me, as I often get hit with large duty/brokerage fees at customs which sometimes doubles the cost of the order.

If anyone has a source for these in Canada, preferably close to Ottawa, I'd appreciate the info.

I haven't found the BB in Ottawa either. I looked for a bit and then went the glass carboy route.

I don't have a local source for you, but if you order them from Austin Homebrew you can request shipping by USPS instead of UPS. No brokerage fees and you'll find that actual customs fees are quite small.

It's been a few years, did the situation change?

I'm considering getting a better bottle, but the best source I found wants $12 to ship it. A local source in or around Ottawa would be better.

I have an Edmonton source for you. Should be better shipping than from the US.
Winning Wines, Lendrum Location, Edmonton (780) 431-1944.

Winning Wines is a chain but this is the only location in Edmonton with beer related products and most likely better bottles.

Alternatively Hop Dawgs in BC has an online store with better bottles. Here is a direct link: http://www.hopdawgs.ca/index.php/equipment/brewing-accessories/canadian-home-brewing-canada-supplies-equipment-kits-hops-barley-crusher/

I picked up 4 in ottawa through a group buy with the local brew club. They may do another buy in the future. http://barleyment.wort.ca/ (sign up on the mailing list)
