Niagara sampling event - Saturday Aug 21

(Wow, there are a lot of stickies in this forum. Does the Mill St. new Friday beer really warrant a sticky?)

For those not in the GTA for the, um, GTAs this Saturday, here's another option.

Eye Weekly article on beer at concerts - Ontario vs Quebec

The beer-tent blues Outdoor events in Toronto are subject to strict regulations governed by the AGCO, who segregate drinkers to licensed areas that feel more like holding cells.
