Does anyone know which breweries are showing off their beers at this? I am especially interested in the non-Ontario and non-Quebec ones, but would be very grateful for a comprehensive list.

BTW no offence is intended to Ontario and Quebec brewers, I like many of the beers from these Provinces, but I know them quite well and am interested in trying new beers too, which is why I ask.

From our portfolio -- Alley Kat Full Moon Pale Ale (Gold Winner) from Edmonton, Alberta.

Aprikat from Alley Kat won Silver in its category but will not be at the awards.

Cheers, Paul

Any reports on this event? I was unable to make it, and I'm wondering if anything new and exciting was available for tasting.

I enjoyed myself. Saw Josh and Jesse there as well. There was some decent food, and lots of interesting people there. Beerwise the highlights for me were Terrible and Alley Kat Full Moon Pale Ale. Also tried a couple locals I haven't had or haven't had recently.

There wasn't much there that isn't normally available at the LCBO which was a dissappointment. There were a number of interesting beers that won medals but were not present at the gala.
