They sound pretty good, although I think I might steer clear of the Ola Dubh and hit the Simcoe if they put it on. I loved the Kerst so much that I’ll probably give that a go, too. I’ve spent a fair amount on those small Ola Dubhs and a couple of glasses at the Midlothian location when they had it. I will try to practice some restraint.

My only question is, why do they do this to me? Just when I thought I could hang onto my money…

Oh yeah, I’d much rather have everything the same at each location. Makes it much easier for me, especially now.

Didn’t catch the cask list, and haven’t been to Innsbrook in a good while, but yeah, I can’t see myself paying $19 for a pint of anything. Okay… most anything.

Sorry, forgot about this little discussion until just now.

I was downtown when I saw the advert in question.

Personally, I’m glad that they’re doing it this way (moving around locations) rather than trying to do different things at each like Kerstbier Fest. It’s hard enough to decide what to drink without having to decide where to go as well.

BTW – Did you see the cask list Jacob posted? The JW Lees has been on the coming soon list at Innsbrook forever. 19$/pint. OUCH.

Dear God, this is terrifying for two reasons: the fact that it's happening close to my birthday, and that this will more than likely have a severe impact on my wallet. By the way, which location did you hit? I'm a lot closer to Downtown now, and I'm under the impression that BGW should be all the same stuff at each location, unless they go crazy with the ordering. UPDATE: Just checked BeerAdvocate and Jacob's posted a tentative schedule, which will actually be different depending upon location. He does mention the general theme and a couple of beers, but not the whole enchilada. I know already that I'll have to select my days wisely.

Sure is.

Avery, Stone, and Weyerbacher hitting all at once was pretty tough on the wallet.

Just came from CAH – they’ve just starting pimping Beer Geek Week 2008. 8/25 – 8/31. No official info on drafts though.

Good stuff, no? I’ve been picking up several anniversary limited releases lately, and it’s putting a dent in my funds. For some reason, I’m drawn to them like a moth to a flame.

Crazy coincidence – I had a barrel aged gonzo today too. Cheers!
