Tried on my phone in the car just after 2. No dice. Been refreshing at home for the last 20 minutes just in case, but alas, I appear to have missed out.
Suppose I can just go to DDC instead.
EDIT: Nvm. Tried a few more times and it popped up. Seems a little weird to me an hour after the fact, but I got the ticket e-mailed with my name on it anyway.

i'll hit as many as i can, but likely start with the great lakes and amsterdam offerings. I loved fangboner at cask days '11. some of the others are repeats and/or variations on past winners. then there's the stuff from house ales, indie, and everyone else...

I agree with grub! Everything!squeaky wrote:Anyone know anything about the other beers on offer? Anything especially worth trying?
Funk Night was my favourite beer event last year and I even prefer it to the always awesome cask days. Had there only been 120 tickets on sale - for the same price - for early bird access to Funk Night I would have bought the tickets with the same sense of urgency. Cantillon is a major bonus!
I just loved some of the offerings last year and I always trust Amsterdam and Great Lakes with a bunch of bacteria, yeast, and barrels. The Dead Spainda Monkey was maybe the first Indie Ale House beer I had ever tried (this was before they opened last year), so they are also known to throw a good sour.
The Hopfenstark Epilogue (Berliner Weisse With Raspberry) was my favourite beer at Mondial this year out of everything (it's the Alexanderplatz with raspberries)... I honestly don't know where to start with the list!
Shikki Mikki's always good. probably one of the best (if not the best) berliner weiss in Toronto.squeaky wrote:Anyone know anything about the other beers on offer? Anything especially worth trying?
i'm excited about:
House Ales 25th Anniversary Ale (Barleywine Aged In 4 Roses Barrel)
Hopfenstark Saison Station 16
Dunham Raspberry Saison (Aged In Zinfandel Barrels)
Amsterdam Order and Chaos
anything by Nickelbrook (they're upped their game)
West Avenue Cider 'Cherry Beach'. Pinot barrel aged Montmorency cherry & Lacto cider.
and, of course, the two Cantillon offerings
there were definitely a few misses last year, and the event is heads and shoulders above where it was when it started (i.e. mostly misses the first time around).
