I'm thinking of checking this out this years.

How crowded does it get?

Will the listed brewers be bringing special brews?

I mean, beyond the Cask Conditioned Toronto Tap Water. :)

Anyone know whether the beer menu on their website is kept up to date? More importantly, is there in fact Maudite on tap there now?? No and Yes. Saw Denison's and a couple Koningshoeven brews as well. The maudite was in good shape, as was the denison's. Yeah, last I checked, the online beer menu wa...

Well, it also took a long time for the Unibroue Ephemere Apple and St. Peter's Golden Ale to appear in the stores.

Would this just be a whole 24 of Péché Mortel?

Or could it 4 different Dieu du Ciel 6 packs?

This is very tempting... :o

At the C'est What beerfest they had bottled versions available of TP, Don de Dieu and Chambly Noire. Perhaps an indication of a greater bottled selection from Unibroue coming to Ontario? Do you know if these were the 341ml bottles? Or the 750ml? I saw only 341mL bottles at C'est What. Good news. I ...

So, with that in mind I'd suggest; A cider (not my bag so take your pick) Maybe Stongbow for the cider? It has some brand recognition, is available in kegs, and has decent ratings http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/strongbow-cider/3001/ Waupoos Cider. The best ciders from Westport/Picton area are suppose...

I'm looking forward to trying it. I see it's back on tap at West 50.

Any chance the Chocolate Orange Ale will make another appearance? That was 1 of the highlights for me at Volo's 20th. :)
