Beer Samples for $1. Love it.
Had a fun GNO (girls night out) with @Fortylicious. We headed down to C’est What to participate in an event which was part of Ontario Craft Brewers Week. (June 19- 25).
They were offering samples at $1 – how could I NOT go? I mean seriuosly.
There were 27 beers to choose from but here’s what I consumed:
- C’est What Steve’s Dreaded Chocolate Orange
- C’est What Big Butt Smoked Dark Ale
- C’est What Caraway Ale.
- Mill Street Ginger Beer
- Hop City American Ale
All the beer had great color, aroma and were highly drink-able. I couldnt complain.
Both of us had not had dinner and by 9 p.m were were a bit hungry (not thirsty anymore..HA) and I asked Heather if she had ever been to Poutini’s.
She said “no, never been”. So that took care of that. We hopped over to queen west and went to Poutini’s. She loved it (of course ). We both love the TEENY WEENY portion size and the fact that they have a vegan gravy option as well. (there’s also an option to use Daiya vegan cheese too but we chose to have the delicious cheese curds)
I told her a story that I discovered Poutini’s on chowhound two years ago and I went to their opening at 5 p.m on a Friday nite in June 2009. When I arrived, there was already a guy infront of me, waiting for the doors to open.
We were the first two customers, so we tried the poutine, took pictures – END OF STORY.
TWO YEARS LATER – Poutini’s is celebrating their second anniversary. I’m in line and guess who is behind me? The same guy from two years ago. Again, we had poutine and took pictures. How cute is that story?
The First and Second Customer of Poutini's
I love beer and I love Poutini’s. It was really a great night out.
For those of you who also love beer: Please mark in your calendar that the Toronto Beer Festival is taking place this year from Aug 5 -7 at Bandshell Park. I will be there soon as the gates open. Promise.
