Volo's Ontario Cask IPA Challenge - Final Showdown

Three months ago (April 5) round 1 of Volo's Ontario Cask IPA Challenge took place and turned out to be a complete success. Round 2 took place in May (May 23) featuring all the winning beers from round 1 and on June 20th the 3rd round was held to determine which two beers would move into the finals.

As I mentioned on Monday, Mike Duggan's Number 9 IPA beat out Granite's Hopping Mad to advance, which will go head-to-head with Durham County's Hop Addict who fought off Scotch Irish's Sgt. Majors IPA to move into the final round.

So, for all of you who have been participating in the first three rounds, this is it, the big cheese, winner take all: The Final Showdown. Starting next Thursday, July 9th, and running all weekend long, Volo will have the two beers available at the bar to judge blind and score. Time to get out to Volo and show your support for the conclusion of Ontario's first ever Cask IPA challenge!
