Dieu du Ciel launch at Volo - Sat Oct 3rd
Greal list of DDC goodies still on the slate Sunday, some perhaps never to be seen here again... (but seriously, there must be plans for some DDC on tap here in future... I'm dying to try the Corné du Diable draught, since USA-style micros thrive in a Cask presentation, so watch for the Cask Days.)
Nice DDC launch Senor Morana!

I absolutely loved the event, even if I did only get there just after midnight! I tried to go at about 10, but they were full. So we headed to a nearby pub and then went back later. In the little over an hour that I was there before last call, I managed to sample some of everything (and even have two of the Corne de Diable).
The Corne de Diable and the Peche Mortel (cask) were the standouts for me, but I really enjoyed all of them. The Corne de Diable is the best Canadian IPA I've ever tried. As a coffee fanatic, the Peche Mortel was absolutely awesome, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that didn't like coffee. I wish I didn't have to drink so fast, but those were the sacrifices that were required.

I think all beer were available yesterday, so perhaps there is some left today as well?
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

I had ordered the Peche Mortel on cask right at last call, so they weren't out of it then.Bobsy wrote:I think the casks were done by the end of the night.
