Chimay cheese "a la biere" can be found at the Whole Foods Market in Hazelton Lanes. It's not cheap ($54.99/kg), but I've never seen Chimay cheese sold at retail anywhere in Toronto (I once bought it at Premier). I know it's available in certain restaurants, but it's great that Whole Foods...

Greg Clow has generously written a report on his recent trip to Waikiki and Honolulu, Hawaii. What a trip it must have been Greg - I wish I had work conferences there :smile:

Take a look here:

Alas, it does not. In the interests of cost, we went with the "Magic Bus", which some have probably seen on the streets before - a school bus painted in psychedelic colours. However, they specialize in pub crawls, so they should be a good fit for us :smile:

One more update - we've got the bus for two hours earlier, which gives us a bit more room for time.

So the bus will pick us up at 12 noon, drop off at 9pm.

Of course! I thought it went without saying that the brewery guys were in the group. As we hit our stops, Ken and Paul will also be hopping on the bus to come along for the ride.

OK, I've closed down the registration page - I think we've hit capacity. We will have around 30 people, which I think is just about as much as we could expect the Pepperwood or the Judge to accomodate. As mentioned, Joe & Gunny spoke to the Judge about burgers for food at the Judge. I'm thinking...

And Jeff/Joe - if you guys could contact the Judge that would be most appreciated. I agree with the ti...

Ok, since both weekends are ok for most people, let's book it for May 10th. That weekend would be better for Cameron's. I've got an update from the bus company - they need this booked by next week. So, please register if you're interested! If we don't get enough registrants we'll have to hold off on...

Ken @ Black Oak is in for either weekend. Does anyone know Paul from Pepperwood and Al from the Judge to contact them about this?
