I'd like to see him do an all-day 'sesh' on just that beer :o Let's see him call it a session beer then. :evil: :evil: A session beer is alien to the North American/Canadian market, as most drinkers are brought up on the idea that if a beer is below 5% it ain't worth squat!! Which is a total fabrica...

[quote="BlankboyIt's not much of a conflict for several of us since we've sworn to never step foot in C'Est What again. But since people will have at least 2 days to go to Volo to sample the casks then I don't think it will be an issue.[/quote] And it also means more lovely cask ale for us C'es...

It is after the Mondiale, possibly the following week.

I was informed that it's going to be about 4 or 5 beers brewed especially for this event. No existing beers that have been tweaked are allowed, it has to be totally new stuff which is an excellent idea. The beginning of June has been mentioned as a possible date.

I have to agree with the Ratebeer rating. There is really no nose to the beer at all, but there is real nice flavours. It really reminds of plain ol' Holsten Pils, with the sweetish palate it has. Oh, and it doesn't taste like a 7.4% beer, it goes down very easy. I hope they continue with this beer.

I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with the staff in there, Belgian. Thankfully, I find the staff wonderful, and they always remember what you drink. I like the fact that when I walk in the barmaid knows what I'm drinking straight away. If the place gets busy, as it is want to on a Friday evening,...

Let's see some other areas of the GTA represented. Where is Feathers on Kingston Road? It has a wonderful draft beer selection. Where is the Black Dog in Scarborough, or The Fox Goes Free in Pickering? The Feathers is on Kingston Road 2 blocks West of Victoria Park. They serve Wellington County on ...

Well I can certainly recommend the following: Crouch Vale Brewers Gold - Recently voted Champion Beer of Britain. I had this 2 years ago and it was fantastic then. A nice golden beer. Timothy Taylor's Landlord - Quite possible the best pale ale in the UK, IMHO! Oakham JHB If available down South try...

I have a subscription for this mag. Issue 2 arrived a few weeks back. It's an ok read, covering plenty of subjects and different beer types. I just wish it was a larger magazine as it only takes about 2 days to read it from front to back! Just been offered a special subscription rate of $19.99 for t...

As a side note to the above, Ralph mentioned he is also getting this wonderful ale in shortly at Volo. Fill yer boots!!!!!

I see Old Faithful has been reading the Beer paper from CAMRA. That last reply from you was virtually word for word on a story in the latest edition regards Porters and their origins and why they were called Porters. Plagiarism at it's best

Thank you.

Oh, you're welcome.

I guess not many Bartowellers have been there recently, hence no reply

There is currently a cask version of Nutcracker at Volo as well as the keg version, too. The cask is sublime. Real smooth, slightly sweetish start to it and then there is a real huge espresso-like finish. Marvellous. I don't hold out much hope for it lasting 3 days as it was getting well and truly h...

Can this be confirmed via an independent third party?

Only by my unbiased wife, hahahaha. Oh, and my friends in the UK.
