A couple more observations:

-Italy is the featured country this year.

-The RB overall ratings for the 7 Allagash products: 94, 99, 98, 99, 98, 99, 99

-A couple of new (for me) and interesting looking DDC beers: a Belgian and an Imperial Black IPA

They built an addition in the back for the sole purpose of craft beer. If they don't carry every beer available in Quebec I'd be surprised. Super nice employees and if the owner is there, he'll walk you through the place and is extremely knowledgeable.

It's just east of downtown. Maybe a 10 min drive from downtown and very worth the trip.
Yeah, that place was awesome. I was just there on Saturday. Great selection of Quebec brews there, and a pretty good glassware selection too. I was in there for a while trying to figure out what to bring back. Between that place and another on St. Laurent, I think I did pretty damn good. Couldnt find any Hopfenstark, probably just missed it though. Got pretty much everything on my list, except Lupulus, which was tempting, but I had already spent enough money, it was $16.

If anybody goes to Peluso, just make sure to check the best before/bottled on dates. They have some very old bottles in there. I almost bought a Chambly Noire with a best before date of March 08. Cant believe they would even have that on the shelf. Other than that though, great store.

I'll be there Friday through Sunday, helping out on the Taps stand, so come over, say hello and subscribe to Canada's best beer magazine: http://www.tapsmedia.ca

Apologies for the shameless plug.

The Mondial list this year is extremely impressive, and it should be a great time!

Obviously a very implausible hypothetical question, but if the leafs made the playoffs and knocked out the team that beat Ottawa...

Then in that very particular case I'd likely root for the team playing the leafs since I am the leafs are the reason so many people cry. And I hate them. And by hate I actually mean hate.........like it makes me violent...........
