Toronto getting to be involved in Zwanze day is awesome.

It shows how far the beer scene in Ontario has come, and it illustrates how hard the good folks at bar volo/house ales/keep 6 are working to bring the best beer possible to the city.

Any info on how the even will run? I'm assuming it will be ticketed based on past BarVolo events, but I don't know how it really works in other places like DDC. Anyway, it's fantastic news!

think it is the same everywhere. every bar launches on the same day and at the same time. we'll probably be at the 3-5 PM range.
you wait in line. and wait. and wait. and get a half tulip.

I sure hope that it doesn't get super hyped up like the Westy release was in that case. I can see an article in the star getting a bunch of people camping out overnight outside Volo for "some rare sour beer." :p

I'm sure Volo will do a plenty good enough job hyping it to produce painful lines. This is the ugly dark side of the masses getting interested in craft beer.
