BREWS n BANDS - Casbah's 3rd Annual JUNE 7 + a NEW twist!
In June of 2011 the fine folks at The Casbah (home to large doses of quality live music) made the bold move to change over it’s beer menu to a 100% independent product. It was then the term “craft beer” arguably became a common term to Hamilton concert goers.
Each June since, to celebrate this initiative, The Casbah has hosted a celebration that pairs it’s two favourite things. Music and beer. They now close their 3rd year under this model, and show no signs of letting up.
----
This year The Casbah has evolved even further with it’s flagship beer event. To truly spotlight how quickly the craft movement has come, Brews N Bands has invited only the newest of breweries to participate. Each participant will be 3 years old, or younger. Customers will be able to sample the newest beers in the province. The Casbah couldn’t be happier to see one of it’s favourite breweries share in their excitement for the movement. Mill Street Brewery joins in by supporting Brews N Bands as a presenter.
----
*The 3rd Annual BREWS N’ BANDS, CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL presented by Mill Street* takes place Saturday June 7th, 2014.* Over 15 of the finest & newest Ontario craft breweries will showcase their tasty brews to the masses. And like in the past, it will close with a live musical performance (stay tuned for the special announcements on who will be there).
