The Yankees Are Coming

While the American brands have taken over our domestic mega-beer market our craft brewers have not had much competition. Recently we have seen more craft beer migrating north. Could this be the end of our micro-sovereignty? In what could shape up to be a rematch of the World Junior Hockey Championship, we are pitting four southern invaders against four local brews in a blind tasting. Can we withstand the onslaught of Brooklyn, Dogfish Head, Rogue, and Southern Tier or will we drunkenly capitulate? Is there any middle ground when the Yankees are coming?

Any word on the featured beers (beyond the breweries)?

....and why $16.39?? Wouldn't $18.12 be more appropriate?

Wait, what? Convenience charge? Has Ticketmaster bought C'est What?

if ticketmaster involved you'd be paying about $15 worth of fees on that $16.39 ticket

If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that it'll be bottles from the breweries listed that you'll currently find at the LCBO pitted against Ontario beers on tap.

Although what would you put up against the 60 minute IPA, for instance, from Ontario that would stand a chance?

Anyway, I'm not big on paying admission to drink beer without knowing what's in store, so, while it's a fun idea, I'll pass on this one.

C'est What has always had a convenience charge on their online tickets. Presumably it's being charged by whoever they have processing the orders for them.

Anyway, I believe that the tickets are always priced such that with taxes and charges, they come out to an even amount that is the same as what you would pay at the door (if any are still available). So you're not getting gouged by it.

Does anyone know what new brands they will be featuring?

(or will be it the regular 60 minute, Brookyln lager, Southern Tier IPA....)

I don't see "new brands" mentioned anywhere in the event announcement...

Those beers may be "regular" to us, but let's remember that not every event is aimed towards the hardcore beer geeks.

Did anyone go? I was out of town.

Were the Canadian offerings on tap vs their bottled Yankee opponents?
