The date for the next beer tasting at the Sugar Bowl, hosted by yours truly, has been set. It will be Wednesday September 8 from 6 to 8 pm. The beer on offer will be Danish brewer Raasted, who I highlighted in a post here, including a couple of new arrivals in the province. The event, once again, will be informal and casual – more of an added value for Sugar Bowl customers. Samples of a handful of Raasted beer will be offered to patrons, and I will circulate among the tables to chat beer with anyone who wishes.
In other Sugar Bowl news, the next Alley Kat Cask event will be Thursday September 16 23 (EDIT: I guess the date got changed since I last spoke with anyone). No word yet on the beer to be tapped. I missed this month’s due to another commitment, and I must apologize for neglecting to mention it on the website beforehand. I could say it was an oversight, but I think I was just moping about missing it. At any rate, those in attendance tell me the cask porter – from a recipe by Canadian Homebrewer of the Year Ray Duperron and brewing partner Patrick Doyle – was marvelous, possibly the best cask yet. It went in about an hour or so. And I missed it! Sob!

Newsflash!
Looks like the next cask night has been moved to the following Thursday on September 23rd. Fortunately, there is another Alley Kat release party down at the brewery on Friday the 17th!
Cheers,

Wow! Miss one damned cask night and you fall out of the loop. I need to fire my sources!! (Just kidding – that mistake was mine for not double checking since I last talked with Neil and Abel). I am pleased though, because I can make the new date, but couldn’t the new one.
Thanks.
