There's a little bit more info up on the Volo website:
http://www.barvolo.com/caskdays.htm
Blurb from the main page of the site:
Do you enjoy cask condition beer? Of course you do, and so do we. That's why we asked 12 Brewers "hey do you like cask beer?". So join us for Volo Cask Days when the meisters unveil their crafty brews. Made special for this occasion. Yup.
Oct 22-23, 12p-6p. Tickets are $15 advance, $20 at the door. Price includes 5 10oz samples and a souvenir glass!

Could be a typo. You could also argue that Scotch Irish / St. Andre / Denisons are all contract brewers and thus could be combined with Church Key/ Black Oak. More likely a typo?
Perhaps a fear of the unlucky #??? hehe

Was at Volo last night, the explination is that Denison's Dunkel will be available aged in a wooden barrel, but not technically a cask ale.GregClow wrote:The page says "12 Brewers", but there are 13 listed...tupalev wrote:There's a little bit more info up on the Volo website:

Other than that, couldn't get much in the way of specifics other than that it would be lots of special and new brews, and that Jer is going to be sorry that he's in Halifax at the time!! (Sorry Jer!)

This sounds like a fantastic event and I plan to be there on the Saturday. Since the St. Lawerence festival was cancelled it's great to see a craft brewery only event and even better that it's cask conditioned. I'm glad that Ralph thought of this as Volo is the best place in town to drink real ale, IMO
Even though Smokeless Joe won the best bottle selection, for me Volo has the best selection.

Ralph mentioned last night that Saturday has now sold out. He's kept a few back for some pre-orders and people he knows can't get tickets yet, but it is officially sold out. It's gonna be nice and busy that day!! I wonder if there will be any beer left for the Sunday tastings?? I also like the idea of oversized glasses with a 10oz and 20oz line for the beers, no spillage means more to drink. Very wise
Now do not go harming Sunday sales, Ralph has assured us several times that there will be more than enough beer left for Sunday (he has back up plans). It will probably taste better given that these will probably be just tapped Thursday in preparation. Great news that everyone has come out and supported this, good job everybody!
