I'm starting to take objection of your guys not posting this on my posts looking for the same beer :) Haha! It's probably because you are already a legend here too. If it's like on Québec forums, you are known as the guy who popularized the proverb "A Black Tuesday a day keeps the doctor away&...

Last year our events all went to 8pm. We found that for the one later in the year that the last two hours were pretty quiet, so we felt shortening the time to 6pm for our April one was a good idea.

Excited to see the list of breweries for the Second Ottawa Market and especially the food by Angry Dragonz. For anyone who hasn't eaten their food its excellent.

Also like the extra two hours, extending the time until 8 pm.

So let's turn all festivals into religious events! Can't be terribly hard to start a religion. Then all contract brewers would be able to sell their beer because it's an official event of the "United Craft Beer Baptist Church" Lol - except that you can't see the beer and it has to be made...

Re: ISO: Achel Extra FT: Cellar

I've got a bunch. I'm moving to Ottawa in August so if you haven't scored any by then, I could be persuaded then. I have some I bought in 2013, and a bunch more I bought in 2010. Well then... sir you are invited to the party. :) I look forward to meeting some of the Ottawa-area beer aficionado's. I...

Sorry I just saw the reply! Will get in touch with Susie & Taco, thanks for the tips. Our plan right now is to use the entire park. Only things that will be fenced off is the far sides that bleed into the school in the back, so we keep a single entry and exit point. Otherwise inside we'll have ...

Four dates in Ottawa this year - April, May, July & October. http://brewerymarket.com/more-dates-new-home/ Awesome and love the location. Considering the proximity you should see if Susie Q and/or the Taco Lot would be interested in being involved from a food perspective. Curious if you know ye...
