The next day we finally got to go to Bar Volo, and we were blown away. Lots of goods available on tap/cask, but we opted to stick to their huge selection of bottles. John and I split 3 different bottles, and all 3 were fantastic. First up was Great Divide Hercules DIPA, next was Stone Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout which was their 12th anniversary beer which had aged about 2 years, and then we ended with probably our favorite beer from the weekend, Great Divide Old Ruffian, which was the last bottle and was also aged for 2 years.
Our last stop was at Duggan's Brewery/Brewpub again for lunch, John and I started with Duggan's Sorachi Ale, and then he moved on to the Weizen and I had the German Bock. End of Toronto trip.
After a bit of a rest we went to Prototype's place and continued the celebration there, this is now all from memory, but a list of what was had. Southern Tier Pumking, Black Oak Double Chocolate Cherry Stout and Nutcracker Porter. I know there was more, but really don't remember what. The next day was more of the same with the big highlights being Mt. Begbie Nasty Habit IPA and Dieu Du Ciel Rigor Mortis Abt.
All in all, a fantastic weekend where we got to try new beers, and revisit old forgottens.
