Cask Days

Was definitely the latter - washrooms were certainly a better option, but were a hike through a maze of corridors that just began at the back of the lounge. Ended up in there twice with my two compatriots and each time there were no more than 3-4 other people (capacity was easily over 50).

 

First timer here and was pretty impressed at the scale and organization. Also those security guards were quite funny Hitman-esque. Didn't feel as if there were too many of them personally, barely noticed other than entrance (where it makes complete sense imo).

Casks admittedly aren't my fav serving-style but it's a pretty insane task dealing with 400+ beers and thought they pulled it off great. Some of my favorite beers were from the Saturday night session even.

Great Lakes 30th mighta been my fav beer of the fest.

We went to 3 sessions and each one offered up a slightly different experience so that was cool, but I suppose if you didn't know what the event was like and you went Saturday evening you may have been sad to see so many beers tapped, but they make that perfectly clear before buying a ticket.

Aside from the fest we hit Volo, Bellwoods, Burdock, Folly, Indie Ale House, and WVRST. Good times!

P.S. Didn't have to wait for a single beer all weekend. That blew my mind.
