Ontario Cask IPA Challenge – Bar Volo

So, as I missed round one of this great series of events, I made sure I got to round two, and not only that, but got there about an hour after it started.  The format is simple, pit a variety of Ontario Cask IPAs and Pale Ales against each other in a head-to-head knock-out style […]

Exciting Events coming up!

Volo, late friday nights

I drink at Volo a fair amount (so should you). So trying to objectively review them is impossible, because I have years of history there. That history is a long testimony to what is an excellently run bar that is leading the charge when it comes to beer in Toronto. I can honestly say I […]
