Albino Rhino Beerfest 2015

http://www.ticketscene.ca/events/12208/


Anyone going to this? I went last year and it was fantastic. A grass roots beer festival that seemed to go under the radar. I didn't see it here so I figured I would post it.

Its on the same weekend as the Niagara Food and Wine Expo.

I went to the Saturday night session with my GF and two friends. Had a great time and people were pretty nice despite getting drunker as the night went on. Lots of great beer but I didn't get to try all the ones I wanted due to how busy it was. The ciders were fantastic...very nice to see the depth ...

Magnotta Wunder Weisse?

Just realized this existed when I ordered someone from the Magnotta outlet in Beamsville near me. Anyone else tried this? I just broke into a twelve and I love it....decent wheat beer for sure. Anyone ever scored this at the Beer Store? Def replaced the IPA as my favorite offering from them.

That's a shame.....I had hoped they would get back to the business of beer. I tried that IPA a year or two ago and it was abominable.

What's goin on with Brick Brewing?

I kinda swore off them since they got rid of Jim and went the buck a beer route. I tried that abysmal IPA and have found that any newer stuff isn't that great. I have still purchased the flag ship Waterloo Dark from time to time out of nostalgia. Recently I have been purchasing the Red Cap as a casu...

I would hate craft beer to be associated with either one of those parties or candidates. Truly a bad time to be an American voter.

SAw some movement or at least someone put up a sign at one of the. Breweries....but no announcements or anything. I'm speculating that things are behind. Anyone hear anything different? Oasthouse now at least has a web page: www.oasthousebrewers.ca? Found on google.

Thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully Kevin produces some of those recipes he has used over the years at Taps and the college.

Interesting to hear about the other brewery....didn know about that at all. Lots of beer options soon in the Niagara area.

New Brewery in Niagara on the Lake?

Hey I haven't been visiting this site as much since my laptop died but I heard that Kevin Sommerville is opening a new brewery in NOTL called Oast House Brewing? I have found very little info on the net and was wondering if anyone has heard anything? I didn't see it being discussed on the first few ...
