A Visit to the Neighbour

It feels like I'm playing in a big important sports competition today. I'm not, but I'm priming myself for the night ahead. This afternoon, after spending some time over at the Cloak and Dagger having pints with some people in the industry, I'll be heading down to Buffalo to Cole's Rare Beer Festival to sample some amazing beers.

The beer list includes: Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA, Dogfish Head World Wide Stout, Dogfish Fort, Harviestoun Ola Dubh 30 Yr, North Coast Old Stock Ale 2007, Oscar Blues Oak Aged Gordon, Oscar Blues Oak Aged Ten Fidy, Oscar Blues Oak Aged Old Chub, Lost Abbey Gift of the Magi, Le Proef & Allagash Les Deux Brasseurs, Jolly Pumpkin Weizen Bam, Malheur Brut Cuvee Royale 2006- Special Michael Jackson Commerative edition, Brooklyn Black Ops, Sonoran 100, and possibly more.

From the look of things on Bar Towel, the event will have a large contingent of Toronto beer drinkers, and together with the line-up of beer, it will make for a great time. Look for some notes on the weekend come Monday.
