Why You Should Head to Volo Friday

If I wasn't going to be in Halifax this Friday I would be heading straight to Volo after work.

Ralph and co. have announced that they will be tapping a number of new (to Volo) beers tomorrow, starting with Beau's Beaver River I.P. Eh?. The beer has been receiving many good reviews over at Bar Towel and on Friday citizens of Toronto will be able to try it for the first time.

Volo is also planning on tapping a collaboration brew by the name 'Doug's Stout', concocted by Church Key's John Graham and St. Andre's Doug Pengally. A collaboration brew in Ontario? Could this be the start of a trend that has been taking shape in the US and elsewhere in the craft brewing industry? Let's hope so.

Also being tapped - Fuller's Chiswick Bitter, which is a beautiful session beer (imho), and Mike Duggan Number 9 IPA on Cask.

What a great way to kick off the weekend.

Rob - I heard the Mike Duggan Number 9 was awesome. Good to hear Mike is back in the game on a serious note.
