As was session 2. I was worried by the line up they may have sold too many tickets but it never felt overcrowded. About the only complaint would be that more washrooms are required. Oh, and if they could some how make it a little warmer :) Surprisingly (at least to me), my favorites were all from th...

Anyone have any idea if there will be vegetarian-friendly eats there? The food vendor list looks pretty meaty, to say the least.

Those are Thanksgiving beers, and must be consumed between Oct 1 and Oct 15. Government officials will be by first thing on Oct 16 to retrieve any unconsumed Thanksgiving beers.

Halloween beers must be consumed between Oct 16 and Nov 1. No exceptions. :D

If it's anything as damaging as Stout night was, its not a good idea to have this kind of thing on a work night :)

Just had a bottle of Saison tonight - did anyone else notice it was sort of green bottle skunky? Even my wife noticed it.

Are you suggesting that its confusing what is available for sale individually? If it comes in a pack its meant to be sold in a pack. The fact that some people are able to scam the system by purchasing a single bottle from a pack is an exception, not the rule. Honestly, this isn't rocket science... N...

Couldn`t you just make multiple trips back and forth across the border? As long as you had a place to safely keep the goods on either side while you are doing it.

Or is the limit 45L per day?

This happened during my first couple years of university. It occurs to me that, at the time, we all suffered choking down that swill in order to get a buzz on quicker. There are so many tasty beers available now that are 7-8% and higher, it would be a very dangerous time for me to be just turning 19...

The best part is the goggle-eyed response of 'you spent that much on XX bottles of beer?' Always the worst part of the experience. This last time I just hid the two $45 bottles of De Dolle Reserva because I just didn't feel like it was worth the hassle! Buying kegs is a much nicer experience - usua...
