Damn the lack of vegetarian cuisine.

I feel your pain, guys. I was a vegetarian (well, almost - I still ate seafood) for many years until a year or so ago, and missed a few nice looking events because of it.
But I can tell you from past experience that some places are willing to do a vegetarian option if requested. Never hurts to call and ask.

From the list of ten...
1 Meat
1 fish
1 egg
1 bread
1 cheese
4 fruit and veg
1 dessert
A carnivore would feel left out.

I think they meant that it's the first time it will be available on draught in North America.

The Bavaria has been on tap in Elora at Shepherds pub and the Kiwi in Cambridge since around Christmas. Very mainstream lager. I tried a sample of the La Trappe Witte Trappist at the Castle last week. Interesting spice flavours.

ya, the wit's not bad. interestingly, they claim it's completely spice-free though.

This looks like a nice outing. If I were to pick one of the forthcoming events, it would be hard to choose! My palette is picky in terms of food...so sometimes I balk at such events, but this one looks tasty.
Anyone ever had the Koningshoeven Trappist Bock (overseas, elsewhere?)

I was not able to attend this event, however I visited them last night and to my pleasant surprise, they had the Koningshoeven Trappist Bock on tap. Adam explained that his supplier ended up providing him with two kegs of the Bock, so he is serving it now. Get some while you can!

Interesting sounding beer. How was it? Can you remember how much you got for the pour and the cost? I wouldn't mind trying it out, but after buying two new suits I'm pretty cost conscious right now!

had the bock today there, from Adam. The others there last night did not know it was still on despite insistence. Recommended.
