For those in the Ottawa area - the Brewery Market comes to Quebec on July 26th: http://www.marchedesbrasseurs.com Love the partnership with brewdonkey for those people on this side of the river who don't want to worry about driving. Going to miss it due to a cottage trip but hopefully can make the ...

Question about tomorrow: if we want to access the park before 12 to use as a family (and then stay as part of the event) is that possible? Or is the park completely closed for a certain amount of time beforehand for set-up etc?

Conversely happy to be there beforehand and then leave to get ID'd...

Thanks to all who came out yesterday, it was a great time. We set up under the canopy in the Holcim Gallery which was nice as it kept the (little) rain and blazing sunshine off of everyone. Beer & cider was great and the pies were delicious. Next one approaching fast - Saturday in Hintonburg Pa...

Saw the list of brewers for the July 5th Ottawa event - seems like you are upping the numbers every time (although that may also have been the case last year as the weather got warmer). Any idea when we will get to see a list of beer? To be honest everyone wants in to the summer events vs. the spri...

More Tasty Saisons

Starting to see more of these delicious, refreshing and somewhat complex brews popping more in Ottawa (Beyond the Pale, Brothers Collab w Mill Street to name two recent examples) and curious if there is anything like this that actually makes it into the LCBO. Assuming not what breweries are making s...

I don't know I think they have had some pretty solid offerings. Their ESB is pretty good, and I really liked the Iron Arse charity beer they made for the ride for dad event. Their Raspberry ale was nice too. What I do appreciate is that they actually try new things, that a lot of breweries aren't. ...

Find this interesting since I work for the CNSC (although not on the technical side)...most people when they think of nuclear mainly think power plants or bombs, but it has many industrial and medical uses, and in this case is used in measurement.

Re: Any ISO for Trou du Diable Le Coq?

Le Coq est une bière de seigle sûre vieillie deux ans en barriques de chêne de Banyuls à laquelle ont été ajoutées, pour une maturation d’un mois, 450 livres de cerises sûres. Il en résulte une bête ambrée et fière, à la coiffe tenace, qui présente au nez des notes lambiquées, sur fond de griottes ...
