Le Mondial Beer List - Personal Thoughts

http://festivalmondialbiere.qc.ca/pdf/mondialbiere_exposants-plan-bieres2011.pdf

Lots of good beer here. 2 Petit PubS (one European, one Oktoberfest) with loads of new arrivals to Montreal like Acorn, Fyne Ales, Badger, Moor Beer, Thornbridge and others from the U.K. Some Brazilian breweries also like Bamberg, Bodebrown and Dado Bier. On the Northe American side: Barley Days, Central City, Flying Monkeys, Dragonmead, Moonlight & Pike are just a sampling of what'll be available.

Highlights for me:

Central City - Love the IPA and never tried the ESB so i'll go for that for sure. Too bad they only have two beers available
Flying Monkeys Smashbomb - Lots of hype and controversy surrounding this one so i definitely want to see what the fuss is about.
Moonlight Brewing - Their beers seem highly regarded and i don't know much about them so i might have to check them out
Brasseurs du Monde - Not opened yet but they'll be pouring 4 beers so it should be interesting
Trou Du Diable Nez de Poivrot - Definitely want to check this one out
Boquebiere - They have lots of beers to choose from so one or two might be interesting
Cheval Blanc Saison Framboise et Brett - Sounds good!

Huh?:

Brasseurs de Montreal: 4 fruits beers? Hopefully it doesn't veer into alcopop territory. Seems odd but it'll probably work seeing as it's "summery"

It''l be fun and i'm looking forward to see how it plays out at Place Bonaventure.
