I am!

[SocietyDweller]

Yeah!!!! I'm going too. I missed it last year because my girlfriend and I got a baby... I'll go probably twice during the week and on Saturday before going to the George Thorogood show.

Hey, I didn't even know about it and I'm only a couple of hours away!

Not much into available on the website yet. Is this a big festival? Past impressions anyone?

Thanks!

Yeah, I saw that there wasn't much info there. I checked out the info available from last year's, and it looked great. Seeing as beer in Montreal is fantastic anyway (Dieu du Ciel anyone?) I am sure it's worth the visit.

[SocietyDweller]

Yeah... it's amazing. But the site is kind of small. Too much people on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday. Best time is Wednesday and Thursday all day. Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to around 3:00 PM. So you won't have to wait too long.
