+1.

If you get through half of those with 2 dozen people, I'd be impressed.

i hope so. having the dinner at rhino is already enough of a disappointment.

false alarm on the brooklyn stout at queens quay. the lcbo employee said that all 197 btls were on hold for some reason.

how's this for a compromise. half of the tickets to every session go on sale on sunday and the remainder are up for grabs starting tuesday. now for my next feat, I will solve world peace...

why don't you try kijiji. a friend of mine sent me a link the other day to a guy that was selling three of them.

tasted very thin and watered down. finally got some flavor from it once it was almost undrinkably warm.

i thought it was a great even all around but my only gripe is the "souvenir" glass. Since when are souvenirs glasses mandatory to get served? I have enough undersized festival glassware as it is.

Almost forgot about The Monk's Kettle (http://www.monkskettle.com/). Small place near the Mission District with a great tap selection and great food.

I would highly recommend City Beer Store. The selection isn't huge but it's top notch. They also have 6 taps and an assortment of cheeses. You can also crack open your newly purchased bottles for a small fee (or nothing... I forget).

What are peoples thoughts on going with a group of 15-20 people? Would the layout work or is it more for smaller groups?

Belgian: What do you mean by Ommegang 'red'? I had Ommegang Rouge on draft at Cole's but was under the impression that it was draft only. I liked it way better than Duchesse De Bourgogne... it had a nice dry tartness.

that comes out to $92.04/case?!

I'm a little disappointed that Hite isn't coming in a 1.6L plastic bottle format... it just won't be the same.

I just got back and as far as places to buy beer I would have to say that Trappe A Fromage de L'Outaouais beats the pants off of Marche Jovi for both selection and price. One of the employees at Trappe was really helpful and (hopefully) gave me some really good recommendations. Also, I can vouch for...

Lost Abbey Devotion... with chicken wings. Now that's a pairing!
