Hey everyone,

We're back on Monday at the Brick Works with our first event of the year. We'll have Henderson, Halo, GLB, Rainhard & Junction in there.

I'm also launching a "collaboration label" called Alias Brewing which is exclusively for, well, collabs. We're not a contract brewery nor a real brewery, nor intend on being either. Our first beer is a light winter warmer with orange peel, vanilla, star anise & cinnamon made with Henderson.

We're on inside at the Young Welcome Centre & BMO Atrium from 11am-5pm on Monday, Feb. 20th. Hope to see you there!

We're back on Victoria Day!

We have Sawdust City, Muddy York, Anderson Craft Ales, Collective Arts, Folly Brewing, Barnstormer Brewing, and Forked River Brewing, plus food from Fidel Gastro, The Arepa Republic, Delite Bite and Chimney Stax Baking.

We're on from 11am-5pm in the Pavilions area of the Brick Works, as there's still construction in our usual space. $1 beers from 11am-12pm (first call!)

Hope to see you there!

We've got a Brewer's Backyard in Collingwood on Sat., May 5th! A bit of a fun one-off but it should be a great event with a bunch of breweries from the Collingwood area & GTA.

If you're around Collingwood, come on by!
