Just booked at the Novotel up the street. Stayed there last time and is within stumbling distance from the Mondial and Brutopia is right across the parking lot.

Everybody heading up to Mondial from T.O. should take a one hour detour and visit Beau's. Make sure you introduce yourself!

And it's only a 20 min detour for those of us heading up from Ottawa :-)

I was planning on going to try out the Japanese beers, but decided to go to Japan next month instead. For those of you who are going, I'm sure it will be a blast. Feast your eyes on the full beer list:

Hey Garthicus,

If you know anyone in Hiroshima, Kanazawa or Takayama send me a PM. Or if you know anyone in Tokyo who fancies a pint at Popeye's let me know (I wisely made sure we're spending 3 nights a mere 10 minutes walk away... my wife shouldn't put me in charge of these things). After our last trip you really appreciate that however much you love your other half its nice to speak to another english speaker every now and then, so it would be most welcome!

Cheers!

Rob

I'll be there :D Wednesday until Friday (maybe Saturday).
I was there in 2007 and really enjoyed it. This years beer list looks even better.
