There's a few new additions there, sadly some of which I'm not expecting much from. Barley Days have yet to distance themselves from their Glenora past incarnation and, despite seemingly to have conquered the infection issues, the beers they offer are reasonably bland. Can't imagine a cask version of "wind and sail" is going to fare much better. But I hope they rise to the occasion and blow my mind.
Since Ralph in moving his brew-pub plans forward with the aid of the Biergotter lads I'd be surprised if they weren't involved. More likely they will be amongst the "charity" beer offerings since they are not officially licensed to supply kegs for retail sale. That would explain why they aren't on that list.

I don't always piss in a bottle but when I do...I prefer to call it Dos Equis.
Tickets are supposed to go on sale during the last week of September according to Ralph.
I loved Cask Days, but I really hope that Volo chooses a better system for ticket sales this year. I did not enjoy waiting in line for an hour as they meticulously wrote down everyone's contact information.
Just take cash only (same as last year), limit sales to 4 per person, don't write anything down and keep the line moving as quickly as possible, pretty please!

I've never been mostly because I can never get tickets fast enough. How's about a little elbow room for the newbies that never get a shot at tckets?sstackho wrote:I loved Cask Days, but I really hope that Volo chooses a better system for ticket sales this year.

#@*% it, I'm on vacation that week! I can walk to Volo in 30 minutes from my house, yet I never end up going to their cask days. Last year's line winding down the street was insane. For you lucky folks who are planning on getting tickets, go earlier than you think you'll need to.Pub Style wrote:Tickets are supposed to go on sale during the last week of September according to Ralph.

I think the Oct 18-20 dates listed on the website are incorrect. According the buzz I've heard, Ralph is planning to have sessions on Fri-Sun this year, which would make the dates Oct 17-19.icemachine wrote:I fly back in on the 20th at 2:30 - I wonder if I can convince the Fiancee that a sampling of Cask Beer is the best way to finish up our honeymoon?
Unless those plans have changed, of course. In which case, never mind.
