Charlevoix / Biergotter / barVolo Collaboration Brew Day!
With the addition of barVolo’s new pilot brew system, Frederick Tremblay from Microbrasserie Charlevoix, Russ and Eric from Biergotter Homebrew Club and Ralph Morana from barVolo will be collaborating to make a one off brew. This brew day will be open to the public. We will be serving beers in bottles from Microbrasserie Charlevoix.

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

excellent news, I'm looking forward to this!

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

more shapely than the beer itself

Now that is just a flat out lie, and you know it

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.

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

Just to clarify a few details about Saturday, July 17th for everyone;

- barVolo will be open to the public starting @ 7:00pm

- All beers will be available in two different sample sizes and by the bottle
(prices are yet to be determined)

- barVolo will only be serving listed MicroBrasserie Charlevoix beers

- All beers are subject to change and availability (limited quantities)

- Full dinner menu will be available

Cheers!

and on sunday is there an opportunity to sample as opposed to buying a whole bottle, or that is out of your hands?

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

It says very clearly that Charlevoix will be there, and the bottles
