Bar Volo - Brasserie Dunham tap/cask takeover - July 25th
Bar Volo - Brasserie Dunham tap/cask takeover - July 25th
Volo just announced this. Should be a doozy
not super familiar with Dunham, how are they?
They're a pretty decent brewery, but not the very best in Quebec for my money. They make solid if unspectacular pale ales and good saisons. They did an assemblage series of sour stuff that I liked everything I tried from. Saison Reserve is one to look for and Leo's Early Breakfast, while not really my thing, is an interesting beer too. Their Black IPA is probably their most common, well-received beer.
I have no doubt that they could put up enough good, interesting beers to do a very interesting tap take-over.

Dunham is decent...if you get the right beers. When I was going through Quebec a lot, I almost gave up on them, until I had their Belgian IPA, which I thought was very good for the style.
If there are some special beers coming to town, instead of most of their usual lineup, it could be a very fun event.

That is a tasty looking tap list.
I hope some of them make it to Sunday afternoon. I'm out of town Saturday.

Having not tried most of these, I'm going to need advice from the Dunham experts.

Doesn't look like any "sampling" will be happening? More of a buy a full glass / bottle type of event I assume?
What makes you say that? I assume you could still buy the 6oz glasses...El Pinguino wrote:Doesn't look like any "sampling" will be happening? More of a buy a full glass / bottle type of event I assume?

I don't know.....I guess because there was no information on prices / options....usually they'd say something like "1/2 pints / samples available for $X"....DeMarco wrote:What makes you say that?

They have 5 oz for $3.7 and 12 oz for $8.4
