Re: Kawartha Craft Beer Festival June 20 2015

Here's a review of the event. Positives: Price: $10 to get in with 5 tickets. One ticket per full drink. Might not need many more. Only $2 a ticket just the same. Free parking EVERYWHERE! Beers: We have some really nice beers in the Kawarthas. The host Publican House has a great selection. As does C...

Re: Kawartha Craft Beer Festival June 20 2015

Now up to 8 breweries! And the price is still crazy cheap.

I am not affiliated in any way. I just want it to go well so I have a festival to look forward to every summer.

It's worth the drive to Peterborough! :D

Got there at 3:30 with my "Hoptimized" ticket. The 330 to 530 stretch was enjoyable since the place was almost empty. Then the after work frat boyz arrived. Every booth was 20 deep. Buying tokens was a 20+ min wait. Few notes. There were a lot of hot girls serving the beers. Which is nice ...

Agreed. QC was the place to be. Less crowded as it was off the beaten track in a corner. There were food trucks there, so a few good beers and eats were able to be had in a tame environment. I was there around 6 pm. Maybe it got goofy later on. And the cast beers were great! I had Hibiscus and Hopfe...

I have a pair of tickets for this but I cant go since my softball team has a double header. I'll take $80 for the pair.

email efman@rogers.com

I'm at Morningside and Lawrence. Feel free to come by my house to get them or we can do it online since they are PDF files.

Thanks Steve

I use to go on Friday nights to beat the crowds. No longer the case. And Thurs will fill next year as well. Lines were too long, Porta Potty washrooms were disgusting (how can that be legal?) I also went Friday nights to get Perry's offerings. You are missed PM! Friday is now like over packed Sat. T...

Bowman's Ball *Thurs Aug 7* Toronto Beer Festival

I have a pair of tickets for the Bowman's Ball which is the new launch event for the Toronto Beer Festival. (addon for Hopscotch event) The English Beat is playing, which is awesome. The question I have (and I emailed the TBF people weeks ago) is if this will be a regular beer sampling night with al...

Wow. I use to go on Friday to miss to crowds and get Perry's one-offs. The hoppy ale was fantastic and the Major was awesome as well. :P Unbelievably, they set up two trailers with two windows a piece to sell beer-coins. 20-30 min lineup at times. Who organizes this? Kindergarten teachers? The Fri c...
