Anyone going? I'm surprised there is no beer/brewery list yet. Anyone have any scoops?

I'm heading over for the first time with some buddies. Looking forward to it.

They usually don't release a list until May. Last yer was the first time i've ever seen them release a list early.

Ah, ok, thanks. That sounds better then. Was wondering because the list came out in mid-March last year.

The list is sometimes frustratingly late! Takes some time to go through since it is so long!

Most excellent....I believe I have to be in Montreal around that weekend for work. Haven't been to the Montreal fest yet, so looking forward to it now!

I'll have to re-read the older psots to see what the highlights have been from past years.

It's always one of the highlights of the canadian beer year to print it out and bust out the highlighter.

Hmm, still can't decide if I'm going this year. Will need to choose between a few options.

Highly recommended though. Without a doubt a highlight of the festival season for anyone who hasn't already attended.

I had a chance to go last year. It was a great time. I would recommend it to anyone willing to make the drive. It was a great way to sample some Quebec and Belgian brews that are hard to get.

Luckily it's not on F1 weekend like last year, so accommodation should be much more reasonable!

Only one Belgian brewer on the list this year? That's disappointing. A surprising number of Brazilian breweries though, I don't know what to think of that.

Is Brazil the featured country this year? I seem to recall Beaumont saying there was a lot of cool stuff coming out of Brazil now, so that could be cool?

Brazil was last year. No DDC in the list because Quebec breweries are not yet announced.
