Buffalo Cask Ale Festival - Dec 2 - 4, 2011
Buffalo Cask Ale Festival - Dec 2 - 4, 2011
The 2011 Buffalo Cask Ale Festival will take place at both Coles and Mr. Goodbar the weekend of December 2 - 4th.
As in previous years this will be a pay as you go event. Beers have yet to be determined, but given what has been available in years past I'm sure the selection will be top notch.
Coles is at 1104 Elmwood Ave.
Mr. Goodbar is at 1110 Elmwood Ave
Places to stay:
http://www.elmwoodvillageinn.com/ (walking distance)
Best Western on Delaware Ave (longer walking distance)
Holiday Inn on Delaware Ave (longer walking distance)
Doubletree/Hilton on High Street (longer walk, they used to offer a free shuttle anywhere in the city - unsure if they still do)
Adams Mark (You'll be cabbing it.)
Cheers,
rudy

Cheers,

WEnt to the fest for a little today with a friend. Had some really great beers on cask. Was very suprised when walked into coles and saw that the list had some great lakes ontario brews on cask. We had a good laugh at the irony of going to the states for some great lakes but we still had some. their harry porter and bourbon soaked vanilla bean. It was nice, but after awhile the taste and smell started to remind me of a air freshener in a car. Other than that I had a cider dupont that was really nice. As well as oscar blues g'knight, dales pale ale, big black voodoo daddy, among many others. good times for sure. Also cant complain that at mr goodbar they were selling half pints for $3. My friend even order a pint they poured him the wrong one, so they gave us the mistake for free. It was bear republic xtra pale ale. Best free beer ever.
