I won't be able to go but man this looks great. I know we are supposed to get another Great Lakes event here in London at one point and I hope it looks like this!

Holy crap! I fly in to Toronto that afternoon...now how much skillful maneuvering will I need to do in order to get the wife to let me go out right after we arrive?

That is a fantastic sounding list of beers. I'd be stupid not to go.

I too will be there! We fly in around 3pm so I can make it there around 7-8pm. It would suck if I can't get in though...
