Toronto Festival of Beer – Contest

TFB LogoSo, what are some of the flagship beer events in Toronto?  Certainly, Toronto Beer Week made some serious waves last year, in it’s inaugural session.  Speaking of which, Session99 followed up on the successes of that festival last year, with another excellent celebration of craft beer.  Ontario Craft Brewers week, while not limited to just Toronto, certainly gets a lot of attention around the city.  And of course, there is the ever popular and influential Cask Days, hosted by the Moranna’s at Volo.  But before all of that, Torontonians gathered every year to celebrate beer, at Toronto’s Festival of Beer. For 17 years, Greg Cosway and his crew have been putting on TFB, recently playing host to over 30 000 guests, all who come together to have a few beers, check out related vendors, and enjoy the live entertainment.

This year, TFB is taking place August 5-7th, once again in Bandshell Park, at the CNE grounds.  With over 120 different brands of beer represented, and a variety of other vendors, there is plenty to keep you busy and drinking at this year’s fest.  Live music this year includes a variety of Canadian groups, including The Trews, on Sunday night.  The Queer Beer Festival, an arms-length party taking place on Thursday the 4th, will feature Ace of Bass.  So obviously, you want to plan on being there for at least one of the days.  I’ve got some passes I’ll be giving out through a few contests leading up to the event, but just in case you don’t win, you can buy tickets online.

But you have probably noticed that I mentioned the word “Contest”, in the title of this post.  Indeed, I do like adding value to things, and I also have access to prizes to give away, and so, with this in mind, I’m announcing

The TorontoBeerBlog.com TFB Photo Scavenger Hunt!

I will provide you, dear reader and TFB attendee, with a Scavenger Hunt list.  It will feature sort of open-ended things you need to take pictures of, while at TFB.  When you’re done, you upload the pics to either your facebook, flickr, tumblr, whatever, and share them with me.  I will gather an impartial panel (bribed with beer), and we will judge.  There will be top prizes, as well as special recognition awards for composition, creativity, originality, etc.

I will shortly have the list of things to capture, as well as a list of prizes, so stay tuned.  And get your hipstamtic ready for some serious action.
