Every one of these beers is great. Their new modern brewing system is a major leaguer.

This is a fantastic lineup, and its well worth attending one of the events. Chalrevoix is one of the most exciting breweries in Canada right now, and have made some damn fine stuff. I've tried all of there but the Hibernus (which I have at home), and my BA scores show the love:

Dominus Vobiscum Blanche A
Dominus Vobiscum Double B+
Dominus Vobiscum Lupulus A+
Dominus Vobiscum Triple A-
La Vache Folle - ESB B+
La Vache Folle - Milk Stout A
La Vache Folle Double IPA - Amarillo B+
La Vache Folle Double IPA - Herkules B

Now bottles available are telling me one has to buy an entire bomber or 500 ml of each to have (or retry) some

as opposed to say 4-5 ounce tasters to try (or retry) a few different

You really should stop talking to the bottles Sammy; it's a slippery slope :wink:

In all fairness Sam, 500 ml isn't a lot of beer. breweries and bars can't cater to everyone by selling small samples of everything they have.
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

A 750 ml of Hupulus for example is retailing for $16

That would be what 35-45 at Volo plus tax and tip
for one mother of a high abv beer
not a way to sample and meet the brewers

Sunday is the Collaboration Celebration Day; it quite clearly states that in the advert!
