There’s been murmurings and rumours flying around, so it’s nice to be able to finally let loose the official news: The Toronto Beer Week crew is going pub crawling! Gotta warm up for Toronto Beer Week, and the six month mark is a good time to start. Don’t want to pull a hammy and have […]

Wrap-up and thanks – Toronto Beer Week
Without a doubt, as I sat in Volo this past spring and first met John Bowden, I thought this idea he was on about, a whole week of beer-events around Toronto, was a great idea. There is no doubt, we are living in a city with a bursting craft-beer scene. There are brewers and publicans […]

Malts and Molluscs – Toronto Beer Week

The opening event was the ceremonial cask-tapping at the Mill St Brew Pub, a fitting choice, as Mill St has not only been pivotal in the revitalization of the […]
