The Bar Towel

After a three year absence, our annual Cask Days festival will make its triumphant return to Bar Volo - back to the place where it all began! This year we will scale things down just a bit, but are keen to bring Cask Days back to its former full-scale glory in the years to come.


From Friday, October 21st to Sunday October 23rd Bar Volo will pour 30+ different casks from 30+ different breweries across Ontario. There will be no advance tickets, just come on by. The bar will not be open with our usual food/drink offerings as we'll be dedicated to bringing you as many unique cask ale offerings. Admission will be $10 (glass purchase) and food/drink token system will be in effect.

The final beer list will be posted closer to the event. We are excited to have casks on offer from: Amsterdam, Badlands, Barncat, Beerlab!, Bellwoods, Beyond The Pale, Black Oak, C'est What? Durham, Fairweather, Fine Balance, Godspeed, Granite, Great Lakes, Indie Ale House, Left Field, Matron, Merit, Muddy York, Revel, Rouge River, Short Finger, Sonnen Hill, Third Moon, Tooth & Nail, Town, Volo, West Ave, Willibald + Special Guests!

Here’s the full #ONcask lineup for the Volo Cask Days this weekend at Bar Volo (17 St Nicholas). We will pour 30+ different casks from 30+ different breweries across Ontario. Admission will be $10, no advance tickets. Just come on by
