Me too ... I am sure there will be a next time soon enough. And in the meantime we'll have some Red Racer to tide us over

what about cool & groovy folks who might like one for their home bar? sent an email about it a couple weeks back, and had talked to you about it before the last batch was ready... seems my waiting for a reply caused me to miss out on bottles for this round

the kegs this year I've tasted have been great, whereas the one bottle I've tried has been far different. It was an early batch that I had in early June, not sure if the stuff sold these past few weeks were the same batch?

Any sightings of 10BY on tap? I've had it at Volo so far this season, and I know as of today Volo has it again.

Popped into Victory yesterday and inquired but it doesn't seem like they've carried it at all this season. Rhino mentioned earlier has had it, do they still have it now? Checked C'est What's site, they don't have it. Doubt Beer Bistro has it as their tap list stays relatively unchanged.

Would be nice to have a working tally of all spots w/ it on tap.

Was at C'est What last Friday. They said they had it, but it wasnt tapped. Maybe do a walk-in?

I think I've def had it somewhere, maybe Rhino, Burger Bar or ??Incest What??

incest what....hah!

I called places, yes I'm a nerd. C'est what said their keg was bad, it froze their lines. They had to return it, but they don't know when they'll be getting it back.

Rhino didn't pick up.....

Victory doesn't have it

Volo has it......

so there you go, a mini round up.

Brushing aside the cobwebs in my brain, I seem to recall something about the Vic not carrying "strong" beers on tap. Not sure if they have an ABV limit, or whatever, but as a fairly regular visitor, the strongest beer I can recall having there was maybe two years ago, Grand River Jubilation, which was 6.5-7% that year. With 10BY coming in at 8%, this would, in theory, exclude it from the Vic's taps. Not sure if the new management has altered this policy(?), but there you go.

Both the Rhino and C'est haven't been able to pour it because of the beer itself. Disappointing.

can you elaborate on that?

Malcolm · Post by **Malcolm** » Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:56 pm

Not really - all the bartender at The Rhino said was that it wouldn't pour properly, and the same response at C'est. Both indicated that it was a problem with the beer, not their equipment.

too bad about the Rhino, I was about to head out there for it.

Looks like I'll have to hit up Volo, they are serving it according to their board.
