Not found on either the ANBL or NSLC websites.

The porter doesn't look much like a porter to me. Looks more like a really dark amber or a really light brown ale.

[CorneliusAlphonse]

They have them at the sleeman cold beer store in Dartmouth.

The first in the John Sleeman Presents series, Sleeman Fine Porter is straight from page 68 of the family recipe book. The original Porters were the drink of the working class in 1700s England where they were seen to be more nutritious. Take a sip of history today and experience this brew just as George Sleeman presented it back in the 1800s.

I wonder if that is true.....

It looks like it could be at the low end of the BJCP style guide (SRM 20), but it's pretty pale.

[jeffsmith]

Yikes, neither of them get very good scores at the usual suspect rating sites…

[Araxi]

Too bad the Bushwakker is VIP only, they make some great beer.

Just a quick note for those who will be grabbing something to eat before the festival... you can show your ticket at the Lunar Rogue for 15% off food, and happy-hour draughts.

[berley]

Hey everyone...

A few of us were talking about getting together somewhere for a bit of food and maybe a couple pre-festival beers beforehand. Nothing really firmly decided yet, but if anyone else is interested, feel free to shout out here...

We were thinking maybe around 5:00, at the Rogue or Snooty Fox or someplace? Not a lot of good-beer options around here now that the Garrison is out of commission.

I'd be up for that

Wish I could join you guys on Saturday! It's my daughter's b-day today and my fathers on Friday so I'm having joint b-day party on Saturday......so unfortunately I won't be able to make the freddy beer festival.

Is anyone planning on attending the Saint John beer festival next month?

Haven't been to the Rogue in years or the snooty fox ever. Either spot works for me.

[Araxi]

I wouldn't mind either as well. As I have never been to Fredericton I know nothing about both. I like the whiskey menu at the Rogue though.

Are you sure about this? I have something from Tony for you.

And it will be the last chance you get to have it from me this year

Ah shit, that's right. I have a house full of guests coming over for supper on Saturday so I'm SOL in making it to Freddy. Would you be able to leave it at the BigTide booth for me?

[Tony L]

Would you be able to leave it at the BigTide booth for me?

Shouldn't let it thaw unless you are going to use it right away.
