Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

I believe that on day one there will be one beer from every brewer and then there is a list of what comes on next over the following days. The running order hasn't been set yet, AFAIK. Also, rumour has it that Sunday afternoon is THE day to be there
Nuts. From what's been listed so far I'm primarily interested in:
F & M Brewing, *George's Double Red
Grand River, Mill Race Mild
Pepperwood Bistro/Brewery, Cream Ale
Nickle Brook Beer, *English Bitter
Church Key Brewing Co., Purple Loosestife Mead
Great Lakes Brewery, Pumpkin Ale
Great Lakes Brewery, *Peach & Pepper Ale
Great Lakes Brewery, *Oatmeal Chocolate Stout
Granite Brewery, Peculiar Strong Ale
Trafalgar Brewing Co, Bewleys Breakfast Ale (Black Tea Brown Ale)
Knowing my luck I'm probably going to miss out on many of them. *sigh*

We're already attending the $65 session. I like my beer and I'm not a cheapskate (unlike some who bitch about minor increases in recent six packs) but attending each day for a small subset of beers would be silly and expensive. That's $560 for two people for every session or for just one session a day $210 for two people.
I think a little too much was read into my weary comment. Perhaps a smiley should have been included.

For $70 you could attend two sessions... I'm just sayin'. That's what we are doing. I feel your pain though - if I miss out on something I wanted to try even attending two sessions I will be disappointed, but as my friend is fond of saying you rolls your dice you takes your chances. Conveniently if I miss out on something there will be lots more to drown my sorrows in!

Looking forward to trying the Peche Mortel. Never tried it during our two Montreal trips. (Don't really care about the IPAs.) But the agent news is awesome! I really hope that means we'll see some Aphrodisiaque in these parts. I'm drooling already...
I'm an excellent drinker.
