"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin |
Spring Festival Of Small Breweries 2008
In for just the Festival were Great Lakes Chocolate Orange Peel Ale, Nickle Brook Organic White, Church-Key Honey & Water Mead, Wellington SPA in cask, King Pilsbock, Neustadt Double Fuggled (cask), Trafalgar Dark Wheat and Oak Aged Rye, Amsterdam Pommegranate Wheat, Heritage Maple Bush Lager, Durham Witbier, and Mill Street Witbier. Our patrons were very diligent, purchasing 2,110 samples. However they were not as diligent in scoring the beers with only 291 samples rated. From that limited group there were four stand-outs: Church-Key Cranberry Wheat came away with a median score of 41 out of 50 followed by Black Oak Hop Bomb (40.5), Unibroue La Fin du Monde (40.0), and Denison's Weissbier (40.0). |
Hundreds of people arrived at C'est What on the evening of Friday May 23, 2008 in search of the latest beer taste adventure. Forty one different Canadian craft brews were availble to sample from light to dark, fruity to hoppy and good to, um, challenging.|
Median scores - only brews with six or more ratings are listed |
