Please be advised that the following third-party warehouses that store imported Non-Stock Wholesale Product (NSWP) and privately distributed import beer will be conducting their annual inventory counts (AICs) over the coming weeks. These AICs are required for those facilities and are scheduled independently by each warehouse. 

BC Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) distribution centre operations will continue as usual during this time, as noted in the November 18, 2025 communications: Annual Inventory Count Discontinued at LDB Distribution Centres | LDB Wholesale Operations 

The LDB has planned for these inventory counts in advance to ensure that the LDB’s in-stock levels remain consistent, in order to alleviate impacts to customers. However, customers may still experience short-term impacts to imported NSWP availability and delivery timelines during these disruptions. 

Please note that the annual inventory count scheduling is subject to change each year and is dependent on seasonal volume and operational demands.
