The organizers have put a lot of thought into this one.

Some nice mini-events coming up too.

Nice to see....the Burlington Ribfest has always been a huge event, great to see a Beer fest there now. Will probably grab a ticket once I see a list of some brewers who are attending...

You should change the subject line from 21+ to 19+.

I thought it was a bit weird for it to be 21+ so I checked the website and it says 19+.

The package to the breweries from the organizers stated that they were going to have it as a 21+.

I saw the mismatch as well and already emailed the organizers to clarify.

Cheers,

Assuming it's not a typo or mistake, how can they set it to 21+ if 19 and 20 year olds are legally able to drink?

They could set it to 47 if they felt like it. Maybe they just want to avoid the McMaster crowd?

Says here 19+. I'm sure it was just a typo somewhere else.

I've removed the "21+" reference from the subject.

Could be that the organizers were using some boilerplate from a US festival for their brewery contracts?

Almost a certainty. There are consultants who now go around organizing beer festivals.
