My thoughts exactly. After seeing the lineup to get in I grabbed some DFH at the LCBO and drove home.velovampire wrote:shintriad wrote: the event has become too popular for the space in which it is held...

C'est What? Festival of Small Breweries - Oct 3
Yeah, it was crowded. And I had a great time.
The unanimous favourite at our table was the Neustadt Elderbrah.
With regards to the pint question raised earlier, one of the staff assured me that I could get a half-pint if I ponied up the equivalent number of tickets. The same may or may not have been true for a full pint.

I also thought the Hopping Mad was excellent (anyone know if Granite intends to make this a new permanent offering in their lineup?), and the Iron Duke on cask was a revelation. I haven't had this one for a couple of years, and even then it was from a near-past due bottle from TBS. Anyway, a wonderful beer, and one I need to seek out (fresh) more often.Malcolm wrote:I got the last taste of the Granite's Hopping Mad (excellent, wanted a pint of it) and stuck to the Iron Duke after that. Mmmm.
Other highlights for me were Mill Street's Oktoberfest (I've got to get over to the brewpub to have a few proper pints of this), Grand River Highballer Pumpkin cask, Corporal Punishment (looking forward to the bottles now), and the King Unfiltered Hopped-up Pilsner.
I did enjoy the Sahti Juniper sample, but don't think I could get through a full pint. Black Oak's Wasabi Brown was good, but I didn't get much (if any) Wasabi - in fact, if it didn't say wasabi, I would have had no idea.
