Greetings Bartowel' ers

Just wanted to let you all know of a new beer Beau's has coming out as part of their Pro-Am Series in collaboration with CABA. "Doublewide" Double IPA. It's one of my homebrew recipes that I was lucky enough to get to brew an organic version of with the guys last December. As a big fan of American Style IPA's, I'm looking forward to finally trying this hop bomb and hoping it appeals to the many fans of the style.

The release party will be this Thurs, Jan 19th at the Rhino starting at 7pm. There will be 4 other Beau's beers on tap as well (sorry, not sure which one's). If you miss it though, odds are good you'll still be able to try the Doublewide. I've been told it will be available on cask at Volo shortly thereafter (dry-hopped in cask with Chinook) and also available at the Dominion on Queen on tap. It could even pop up at a few other select craft beer bars in Toronto. If you live in the Ottawa area you can get the beer at the brewery or order it through Beau's BYBO. Only about 1,000 bottles are available and when it's gone it's gone.

Here's a link to the Beau's Facebook invite as well as more info on the beer from their website:

Cheers! Hope to get a chance to meet some of you soon.

Sounds very interesting. If it is anywhere near as good as Boulevard's Double Wide DIPA, we are in for something special

A couple of my friends were here last night, one said the Doublewide compares to Tree's DIPA and Amnesiac, 8%, very hoppy, and $16 a pitcher!

Hey, the HPH is on this list. Good to see a brand new place in Ottawa start off on the right beer foot. Any ideas if they will have it on tap?

Just checked Beau's website and noticed HPH is no longer on the list?... I recall hearing that they were to have the beer on tap?

In Toronto, Bryden's, Volo, The Only and Burger Bar have all had the beer on tap and are most likely almost out by now...

The last keg (I'm aware of) will be tapped at Dominion on Queen for a beer event Sat, Feb 11th

Graipfruit Moon and Grand Electric also have some bottles for sale I believe.

Cheers!
