Those session listings can't be finished yet. That's brutal for sessions two and three otherwise. Unless there's expected to be enough carry over between sessions.Kish84 wrote:The Cask Days excel list is out.
Are the listings for what's available at which session correct? There's only 10 that are exclusively available at session 3, seemed there were a lot more last year.

Someone mentioned they serve a 1/3 of the cask for each session, not sure if that's true though.lister wrote:Those session listings can't be finished yet.

I'm super confused. Is there a reason why it looks like 80% of the beers say Session #1?
I figured at least where Session #2 selling out first, the supply would be around the same.....I've only been going since 2012, and I admittedly haven't gone back to the previous years' schedules, but I don't seem to remember such a big discrepancy in session availability.

I presume it is because it will be a physical impossibility for all the casks labelled "session 1" to actually be emptied during session 1, so lots of those will carry over to 2 and 3. Don't forget one of the (perfectly understandable) goals of the organizers is to not end up with a lot of beer at the end of the weekend. In the old days you could just go to Volo the following week and finish it off, but now anything left after Sunday gets poured.

Hi Everyone,
We have added a note on our website that will hopefully bring some clarity to this. http://2014.caskdays.com/oncask
The casks that we are tapping on Sessions #2 and #3 are just new beers being added to the program. Most of the beers being tapped on session #1 will be available during #2 and #3. Of course, some of the more popular beers might not make it. Our goal is to find a balance between a strong availability of beers at each session but also selling out. Because of our SOP license and the nature of cask beer, we cannot transport any leftovers to sell elsewhere. We are trying to sell everything out.
All leftovers from sessions #1, #2 and #3 will be available on Sunday, October 26th from 12-6pm at Evergreen Brickworks. Admission is $5.00 at the door plus the purchase of a festival glass ($5.00). If you have a glass from the ticketed sessions, you can bring this and avoid paying for another. This session is also all ages. Im planning to release the leftover list Sunday morning through social media.
Cheers

I have 2 early admission tickets to Session 3 (Saturday night, 7PM to 1AM) that I'd like to trade for 2 Session 1 tickets (Friday night, 7PM to midnight) if anyone is looking to switch times.
Due to some unforeseen scheduling conflicts, we won't be able to attend on Saturday night.
PM me or tweet at me (@scott_TO) for details. I'm willing to meet up in downtown Toronto to trade.

IPA CHALLENGE ROUND 1, 2 AND 3 WILL BE SCORED BLIND BY A
PANEL OF SELECT JUDGES DURING SESSIONS 1 AND 2.
FINAL FOUR WILL BE SCORED BY PUBLIC VOTE DURING SESSION 2,3
AND 4 OR UNTIL BEER RUNS OUT.
BEERS THAT HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED IN EACH ROUND WILL BE DISCLOSED AND BECOME AVAILABLE FOR ORDERING BY THE 5OZ OR 10OZ POUR.
SESSION 1 WILL START WITH 18 BEERS AND SESSION 2 WILL START WITH 26 BEERS AVAILABLE TO TRY.
It looks like only the Final 4 will be done blind in Session 3 and some of Session 2.
