Gord and I both enjoy beer ... and there were so many brewers and beer that we'd never seen before there. It was fun to check them out.
Here are the ones I tried ...
There were appetizers ... I really liked the sliders and corn fritters.
Here I am!
It was hosted by Roger Mittag of Thirst for Knowledge.
Amazingly in 1862 there were 155 breweries in Ontario.
By 1958, there were only 5 (thanks partly to prohibition).
Now there are over 150 again. Yay!
This is what the brewers came for ... the trophies!
Congrats to all the winners!

It was a fun time. It was great to see the various brewers hanging with each other and having a good time.
