For anyone holding back on buying, this represents great value and should be an excellent day. Think of the alternative - taking a greyhound bus down and run the risk of sitting next to some social misfit.

Thanks for everyone who's booked so far. We're 1/3 of the way there to getting the trip triggered, which is great after just one day. Please pick up your ticket(s) if you're interested, it's going to be a great day.

I'll reiterate this again but Mike Shatzel is going to make sure we have some unique tap(s)/cask(s) for our visit. And special in the U.S. means special - something you likely will never see here. This won't be just some random drop-in!

Well - I'm going to be on the bus, so that risk is still being run for someone... :wink:

Hope we hit the magic number for this, it'll be an excellent day!

I always go down with Rob on the bus so this ALWAYS happens to me :)

Ingrate! I can think of at least two times this was not true ... granted, that's over five years, so it's still pretty rare. I am willing to put MY "I went to Cole's but had to drive" percentage up against yours, though - pretty sure I'm in the lead.

Never fear, Cass - I'm buying you a pint/goblet/chalice/skull of beer at the Monk!! Whee! I'm first for this AND Cask Days. If only that translated into something useful ...

Great job on organizing this.
There would be at least 3 other people interested in the St. Catherines pick up idea if this was to go ahead.

Would there be a convenient pickup locale for the St Cath group? Can look into a midway pickup.

I am thinking of the GO Transit bus stop at the Fairview Mall. It is easy to get to from the QEW.

OK, all good on the stop at the GO in St Catharines!

Please email (cass@cecktor.com) or PM me to let me know who needs a pickup from the spot after you get your tickets.

I've gone into the page to pay and had no problem changing the country. Were you using a paypal account or just paying with a credit card? Do you have the latest version of your web browser?
