I went Friday afternoon and had an awesome time. Went for around 1 and it was cool because being that it was a workday and it was raining there was no one there. Got to talk to a bunch of people working the booths. Spend a bunch of time at the Brasseurs du Temps tent since there bar was under the tent and you didn't have to get rained on and the brewmaster seemed like a cool guy. Also spent a bunch of time at the Microbrasserie Le Naufrageur since there beer was really good (there bottle designs were really cool too). Hopefully the crappy weather this weekend didn't scare too many people off and they were successful enough to have this event again next year.

You need to go. The logic is sound. She can't say no.

You may also need to go to Winter Wines and Beers on Feb 17 and 18 in Gatineau:

Great idea. I've passed the info on with the moniker Brews Phillips says that we NEED to go.

Should be a slam dunk!
