From a lager made with Maple sap instead of water (Heritage Maple Bush Lager) to True North Double Oatmeal Treacle Stout to a beer called Durham Hop Addict, our Second Annual Spring Festival was full of surprises and featured some very imaginative work from our local breweries. Thirty-six creative creations from twenty-six breweries were available for sampling. Twenty-five of these brews were new to C'est What. A panel of three dozen beer aficionados (in plain English, "beer geeks") from bartowel.com got together at C'est What three days before the event to preview ten of the more interesting offerings. They picked five "must taste" beers for festival goers: Mill Street Tankhouse Cask Ale, Durham Hop Addict, Church-Key Bier de Garde, Church-Key Pale Ale, and Black Oak Whiskey Barrel Aged Nut Brown Ale. At the event, nearly two thousand samples were poured and from the score sheets submitted we can summarize: More commentary and the full table of scores is available here. For one month every four years the world is united in their love of "the beautiful game". Forget war, politics, and work for a while: Join hundreds of millions around the globe and goof-off for an afternoon to watch a match. We will be showing the games at noon and 3 p.m. daily during the first round and will show all of the "round of 16" games. Just tell the boss it's a "cultural exchange" program that won't cost the Company a cent (unless they want to spring for a couple of pints). Our new website, whatsnext.ca.* is pumping out all of the great indie music at C'est What 24/7. Please check it out, your feedback is appreciated. *A high-speed internet connection is required. For more information check out our music and culture site whatsnext.ca Those with day jobs may be reluctant to check out a show during the week. Not to fear, here at C'est What shows start within fifteen minutes of their advertised time, and most weekday shows wrap up by 11:30. Enjoy! Armed with an acoustic guitar and his aching gravely drawl, twangy troubadour Shannon Lyon effortlessly shows the way to where the true path of alt-country lies. Somewhere in the heart of Canada. With rave reviews like; “...an acoustic jewel in high standing”... or “ ...Shannon was the solo gunman who filled the room with a stunning set of music that lovers love to and broken hearts break to...”, it’s the purity and rawness of Lyons songwriting and delivery that are touching audiences and critics alike. If you’re interested in being totally blown away by the power of song, catching Shannon live is highly recomended. Shannon Lyon will be appearing on Saturday June 24. Show time 10:30, Admission is "first come, first seated for $7. |
