Beers featured come from as far away as Japan, Austalia, Yugoslavia, Germany, Mexico, Holland, New Zealand, Poland, the United States, as well as domestic Canadian brews. The average price of each bottle is about $3. Each customer who would like to take part is given a passport which the staff gladly strikes off when the beer of day is purchased. As an added incentive, Mike and Leslie give beer drinkers, totally free, an item specified in the passport, from Sept, to Dec. 1990, if the corresponding date has been stamped.
