I'm happy to announce the creation of a new beer event series - The Brewery Market.

In partnership with The Stop Community Food Centre and the Artscape Wychwood Barns, we're going to be hosting casual brewery tastings on Sundays throughout the summer, inspired by a farmer's market.

Every Sunday a different brewery will be exclusively featured, with a few of their beers available for tasting and meeting the people behind the beers. No admission or ticket price, just buying your own beer. No sample sizes, just regular sized glasses.

Wood-baked pizza will also be available at the events, made by The Stop Community Food Centre, a charitable organization with a functioning greenhouse within the Barns.

The first one is happening on May 29th and the featured brewery will be Flying Monkeys.

Take a look at the web site here:

I'll be going. Stockyards BBQ is nearby and I haven't been yet.

We're going to get a one-off cask from Flying Monkeys as well, along with the other beers they're bringing.

Lister - make sure you check the Stockyards hours - I think they close from 3:30-4:30 or something like that to do a changeover from brunch to dinner.

Hope some folks can make it to this one and others. Be sure to track me down and say hi.

To be honest I don't know. It's not a big place so I wouldn't be surprised if brunch was just the brunch menu.

Thanks everyone who came out to the Brewery Market event yesterday. It was quite a time - 5 great beers on tap from Flying Monkeys and fresh pizza. And the rains held off as well!

Next week: Denison's, with Weisse & Dunkel available on tap.

Hi Jeremy,

I can't resist "telling You where to go." On The Bar Towel Homepage scroll down to The Brewery Market, click then head to Schedule and voila. It was nice seeing You and Karen yesterday.

Cheers, Doug

Thanks Doug!
