The Hogsback website seems to have been updated in the past day or two with a wider list of places to find it on tap and an article from TAPS magazine, among other things.

I had the Hogsback at the Wellington Gastropub last Thursday, so it is starting to appear in a few places.

Just a heads up that the two main bottle shops in Ottawa/Gatineau are about to get better.

Marche Jovi/Marche Omni, I was in there on Wednesday and speaking to the owner. He is adding an extra shelf the entire length of the existing shelving. Also adding shelving in between coolers where he had cases stacked. With more to come. He said that he has 120 cases on order to be coming in soon to fill said shelves.

Trappe a Fromage in Gatineau is doing a massive renovation currently that will completely alter the outside of the building. Where before their beer section was in an alcove past the cashiers, in the new addition there will be a "proper beer section" Again I was speaking to an older lady (don't know if she's an owner but definitely knows her beer!) and she made reference that old selection was crap and that the new section will be "magnifique!"

Looking forward to both reno's to be done and fully stocked!!

I knew I woke up early on a Saturday for a reason, and that reason was to read this post. Too excited, won't be able to get back to sleep!

I just read that Kichesippi Natural Blonde is now on tap in Ottawa

Looks like the Cheshire Cat is the place to go if you want to try both new Ottawa additions.

A youtube video of the first offical pour, presumably at the Cheshire Cat:

The June trip to Ottawa is looking better already

That's not the Cat.. Johnny Farina's perhaps? Regardless, will have to give it a try the next time I'm out. I've got to give these guys some respect for using a gar pike as their mascot if nothing else.
