thanks for the heads up. Anyone in the know: is the $5 online service charge a one-time for as many tickets/sessions as bought?

For those west of GTA or in the mood to travel, Cask West will occur on Friday Oct 22nd from 7 to 1030. It is the first event in our newly licenced hospitality room at Grand River Brewing that will feature casks from MacLean's Ales, F&M, Wellington, Railway City and ourselves. We are limited to 50 people for events and the $35 ticket gives you a pint glass, food from Strodes BBQ, two beer tickets and entry into the prize draws. Call Jane at 519-620-3233 if you're interested

Just booked my tickets. Thanks for hosting this Rob. I'm excited to see the new facility and, more importantly, try your awesome beers on cask!

A Cask Days website Twitter from about 8 minutes ago says tickets go on sale at 2:00 tomorrow whereas the rest of the site says 12:00. Has it been changed or is 2pm a typo?

you think the 2 hours means a sell out of the few tickets per session?

The 2:00 tweet is gone. A new one from 40 minutes ago confirms 12:00.

That would be because the correct address is http://www.caskdays.com/tickets.html

The press release had it wrong.

unless the website suddenly has a paypal link or equivalent at noon, it is just a promise of paying online

Ya, it's not letting me buy any either. It won't even give me the option to get that far.
