Going to be in the States next week and though I'd stop in at Premier Gourmet on the way home... a few questions for those who've been there before: 1. Does anyone know what their hours are on Wednesday? (Can't find hours on their website.) 2. Do they take MasterCard? Visa? 3. Can anybode refresh me...

The Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout was in the my local Waterloo store the other day (along with a few less interesting others - Beamish, and something else I think).

Just saw this advertised and as I'm going to be in St. Catharines that night anyway, I thought I might drop by. Found a bit of info at http://www.goodbeer.ca/images/wingdingoverview.pdf - but it's pretty sparse.

Does anybody know anything about this event? Anyone go last year?

15-18 breweries? How'll they fit them all in? :smile: Everything I've heard leads me to believe this will be a great event - I'm glad I happened to be at the judge a few days after tickets went on sale so I caught wind of the event. As for an alternate means of transporation, I'm lucky enough to liv...

The crowd has been a little better the last couple of years since they've been holding the event in downtown Guelph (as opposed to on the UofG campus). Going earlier is also advised to avoid the most obnoxious drunkenness.
