In my beer event roundup a week or so ago, I listed a free tasting event with the brewers from Montreal’s Dieu du Ciel. Looks like they are going to be busy puppies in Calgary, as there are a few more events lined up – some free, some cheap, some more expensive.Details below.

I tried to get them up to Edmonton on this trip, but, alas, without luck. They promised to swing by my burg when next in western Canada, so we have hope. And for Edmonton and Saskatoon and Regina and Winnipeg beer fans, we can drown our sorrow by picking some up. Dieu du Ciel is available at better stores in all those cities.

If you haven’t tried them, take a look at a couple of my older Vue Weekly columns talking about them. First there is a profile of them, and then a review of the Route des Epices.

As for the Calgary events, move fast. Contact the establishment for more details:

• April 22 7:30. Beer and Cheese pairing evening. Zyn Wines. Tickets: $25. More details here.
• April 23 7:00 Beer and Cheese pairing. Willow Park Liquor. Tickets: $20.
• April 24 2:00-5:00 meet greet with DDC. The front bar at Bin 905. FREE!
• April 24 7:00 Three Course Dinner and Beer Pairing. Bottlescrew Bills. Tickets: $40.

I wish my life allowed me to attend some of those events. Sigh.
