Beer lovers are in
luck this September as Toronto Beer Week is back once again to
celebrate all things craft beer.
Toronto Beer Week
honours the craft beer evolution by showcasing some of the best local
craft breweries and the beers they've created throughout a series of
events across the city. Over 60 bars, pubs and restaurants in Toronto
participate in TBW by hosting various events ranging from beer dinners, cask
beer tastings, brewing demonstrations, pub crawls, beer education and just
plain ol craft beer drinking! With over 100 events happening in the span of one
week, there is sure to be a beer tasting event that suits your brew-mood.
To help you get
better acquainted with Craft Beer, I've picked my top 5 Toronto Beer
Week events!

This
kick-off event takes place at the Berkeley Church and is a real treat for the
cultured beer drinker. Each brewery in attendance has either brewed something
unique specifically for this event or will be showcasing
something exclusive that has yet to hit shelves. Some of the breweries at this events
are Mill Street, Kensington Brewing Company, Muskoka Brewery and many more. Tickets are $25 and this price
includes 5 sample tokens. Additional tokens can be purchased for $1 per 4 oz

This

out. Two unique sailings are scheduled on Saturday, September 13th; 3:30pm
and 8:00pm. Each sampling session will run for a “three hour tour” on the water
aboard The River Gambler. $39.95 gets you a ticket on board,
a commemorative mug and 5 sample tokens. Breweries such as Left
Field Brewery, Wellington Brewery and Great Lake Brewery are just a few of the
great craft breweries in attendance.
