Godspeed - Je Me Souviens
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2022 10:08 am
It was nice to be back at a tap takeover again yesterday, as Godspeed held "Je Me Souviens", with a bunch of taps from Quebec breweries.

It was fairly controlled with table service and seating, so I missed the walking around and socializing that I loved about in-bar events of the past. But hopefully we'll get there soon. It was a nice vibe in there with great beers. Nice to see Bim again after a couple of years. Menu copied below. It's still happening today (Sunday, Mar 20) if anyone wants to check it out.
