How They Make Your MarkBourbon Tasting Wednesday April 21, 7:00 p.m.
As part of your bourbon education you will taste four different expressions of Maker's Mark at various stages of its evolution: one day old, two years old, fully mature and an over aged version to illustrate why they only make a single product. Advance tickets are available for $12 (all in) and can be purchased here. New Menu
New to our line up are: Abdul's Butter Chicken - a traditional East-Indian curried chicken dish served with basmati rice, mango chutney, and a pappadum; Jambalaya - the classic Cajun mélange of chicken, sausage, and shrimp in a piquant tomato vegetable sauce pan-fried with rice; Cajun Ragout - a vegetarian friendly version of the Jambalaya; and a Tofu Wrap - sesame-soy-cilantro marinated bean curd and sautéed vegetables wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Back by popular demand is our tender deep-fried Calamari served with tzatziki. You can view our entire menu here. Damn Yankees
The contest was certainly a contrast of styles. The local squad relied on balance through all lines while the Americans were counting on an aggressive style packing enough bitterness to fuel a Town Hall meeting. Once the cups were on King Pilsner scored early. Brooklyn Lager and Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA turned the tide in the Yankees favour in the middle stages. Late in the contest Barley Days Wind & Sail Dark Ale tied things up for the Ontarians. We were going to overtime. However, neither Rogue Hazelnut Nectar or Steve's Dreaded Chocolate Orange could gain advantage for their team. It was all tied up and going to a shoot-out. In head-to-head match-ups the Americans outscored our locals 122 to 100 and took the first Craft Beer Cup. Canadian coach, George Milbrandt, summed things up saying, "I knew we were in tough. We lacked the depth that taking the full national squad would have given us. I'm proud of the class that our lads showed. Hopefully we can bolster our line-up with some of the great talent from Quebec next time and bring the Cup back to Canada." The full table of results can be found here.

The latest iteration of our chocolate ale (Steve's Dreaded Chocolate Orange) has orange peel, cardamon, and hazelnut extract added to the dark and chocolate malts. We are on our last keg of Big Butt smoked dark ale. We will be replacing it for the summer season with an unfiltered Ginger Wheat beer (code-named Mother Pucker's) that will feature ginger root, lemon and orange peel, and Cascade hops to add a bit of grapefruit character. It will be ready in time for our Annual Spring Festival Of Craft Beer on Friday May 28. Get Real, Get It Live "One of Canada's finest and highly individual songwriters." - Colin Lynch - RCAT International Online Music Magazine. Not to be confused with Toronto's Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), the James Clark Institute is a lyrical Toronto band compared to Bob Dylan circa 1966 meets Elvis Costello. Singer/songwriter/musician James Clark confronts the ghosts from his past and puts them to song, twisting and turning his own personal demons into witty, rootsy pop tunes. "...a witty, concise and sometimes acerbic lyricist with moving, memorable and often hilarious songs". - Blair Packham - Producer; Singer/Songwriter; Composer; Educator. Appearing on Thursday April 22, Doors 9:00 p.m., Show time 10:00 p.m. Advance tickets are available for $6.00.

Meet Ron Oliver, Maker's Mark Distillery Diplomat for Canada who will lead you through a seminar that will cover the history of Bourbon from the first settlers to Kentucky and explaining how corn first came to be used for alcohol production. Ron will discuss how they make bourbon at Maker's Mark, from field to bottle, with emphasis on barrels, aging and tasting.
When you can visit C'est What twice a week for an entire year and never order the same beer it raises expectations for variety on our food menu as well. This is why we try to review our menu a couple of times a year and shake things up a little. So, the lads in the kitchen have come up with a few new winners and and an old favourite.
Craft beer supremacy: Canada or U.S.A.? This was the question posed in a blind tasting on Wednesday March 3, 2010, a mere three days after the Canadian hockey team defeated team USA for Olympic gold.
At long last C'est What has joined the 21st century and has joined the social masses by setting up a Facebook page.
Aside from offering three rotating cask beers, three other draughts that change weekly, and an ever increasing out-of-province bottle selection among our list of fifty craft brews we are having some fun with our own recipes.
