C'est What have announced that their annual Festival Of Small Breweries will be taking place this year on Friday, October 18th.

For those who have never been, they offer around three dozen local craft & micro brews in sample sizes, and it's always a good time.

As in previous years, the event officially kicks off at 5 PM and runs until closing time. Early arrival is recommended, as it gets pretty packed as the evening progresses.

Unfortunately, I may have another committment that evening, although even if that does happen, I may be able to hit C'est What for the first hour or so and get at least a few tastes in.

There is usually a good gathering of local aficionados there, too. I ran into a few people there last year and will probably attend again this year for that reason. The new beer factor is low, however, so it's all about enjoying some old favourites as far as I'm concerned.

Always a good time, not so much for new beers but definitely for beer chat.
