Boy, the Jays really have fallen out of the public interest

Maybe it's a view from Bloor looking downtown

Why would you promote "Rogers Centre" for free?

At least CN is relatively benign.

Ya, I know there's a ton more jokes to be made about it. That's why I thought I'd open the door to you guys. I like the two so far

So, we've been hitting the streets to sign up some bars for the Beer Week, and the response has been fantastic. Its great to know that so many licensees are behind the idea of expanding and enriching the local beer scene. We'll be posting details of participating establishments on the website shortly, with events following soon after.

Bars and events should start populating the website shortly, though we are proud to announce our first event (well...more of a competition) - the TBW Homebrew Contest 2010.

Further info is available at the Toronto Beer Week website

So what will Russ and Eric receive when they win first, second and third in the TBW Homebrew contest?

I don't think they should be allowed to partake - it's not fair on the other participants

They'll be in, but not judging - that would be unfair! Judges will be drawn from the TBW board, which includes brewers, bar owners, beer media, and even the fella that set up this forum.

You guys need to try more homebrew! Russ and Eric do stellar stuff, but I'm amazed by how high the quality has been from other brewers on this board. I think the homebrew scene is really competitive here, and we're hoping that shows in the comp. Heck - Matt gave me a few beers that are probably amongst the best I've had this year!

haha, even i'm not that presumptuous!

no, we're not judging. i'd consider it if we were invited, but not if we were also participating.

we'll probably enter something - no idea what, but i'm sure we'll find something.
