Oh snap. Bar Volo just tweeted they are coming on August 29th.

Um...what?

I think I'm due for a Toronto trip next weekend.

i'm am busy from 10:30 AM until midnight. fuck.
otherwise, i'd be at Volo during those hours.

My wife picked a hell of a day to RSVP for me for a family friends' party. Anyone wanna take my place in Barrie for the day? Free BBQ and bouncy castle!

what a great line up they are bringing. I wonder if that's the new batch of fen tao that is set for release any week. you guys are in for a real treat if you haven't had any jester king before. i'm lucky enough to have a friend in austin that sends me their beer regularly and i honestly have not had a bad beer from them. if any of the descriptions seem like bad combos of ingredients, trust me, they work. i still may try and make it up there if i can free up my afternoon.

enjoy GTAers!

Start time has been changed to 6pm.

I just realized this is bottle samples and not kegs. I was kinda sad I was going to miss the main day, but it seems like I won't be able to get anything if I show up on monday.

But they seem to be open for regular service starting at 12...? Wonder if they are doing a quick shutdown at 5 to reset for the event or if you can stake a claim to a table early and ride it out.

POST EDIT (26/8/15): Jester King Tasting will begin starting at 6pm and run until 2am. We apologize for any inconvenience. Bar Volo will be open for regular business starting at 12pm.

Good question. I'm not sure either option will be a good one. I'd rather have the noon start time as I'd hope that some of the crowd will have thinned by the time I got there at 4-5pm. Hopes dashed.
