I sure as hell hope that they properly label those casks. On enquiring what exists on the cask last week I got 2 blank looks and 2 different beers: Stonehammer IPA and Headstrong Nut Brown.
Both of which don't exist.

Oops - thanks for that. I don't think I've ever seen it.

Exactly. And what I ended up getting was an overly warm, buttery tasting brownish beer with no discernible characteristics.

The StoneHammer IPA certainly is real, but not at the RHINO, it was a one off brew done for bothe the C'est What Festival and Volo's IPA Challenge. Based on feedback, it may be making a return in September as a permanent member of our lineup. You can also find it at Round 2 of Volo's IPA Challenge.
Cheers!

I hope so. Being a Guelphite myself I wish the local brewers made it easier to try the one offs - instead of having to drive all the way to Toronto when you're just 5km from the actual brewery.
