Teena in Toronto: Roundhouse Craft Beer Festival, Toronto, ON

Gord and I went to the Roundhouse Craft Beer Festival this afternoon ... it was today and tomorrow. This is the fourth time we've been to the summer one ... we've been twice to the winter one.

Tickets (which included the tasting mug) were $20 in advance.

The gates opened at noon and we got in line about 11:30am. There were people going down the line selling drink tokens (tokens were $1) and checking IDs, which made things efficient.

When the gate opened at noon, it didn't take long to get in. They gave out ball caps to the first 200 people through the gate. Alas, we weren't one of them.

All the beer I had were delicious!

My first stop was a lager from Naughty Otter.

Then I had a blonde from Brock Street Brewing Co.

Robbin from Robbin's Amazing Art was carving from a piece of a tree.

Just after noon

About 5:30pm

I liked the Forgotten Lake blueberry beer from Lake of the Woods Brewing Company and had a couple during the afternoon.

The weather was crazy. It was sunny ... then raining ... then sunny ... then raining.

Here are me and Gord. We ran into Kasie and Zeke, who we know from other beer fests ... they'd gotten a couple caps and gave me one of theirs (thanks!).

I had a hibiscus saison from Royal City Brewing Co.

There were bands all day, which were good.

I had a 12 Minutes to Destiny from Flying Monkeys.

I had a beer from Lost Craft.

The skies clouded over and it started to rain but that didn't dampen our spirits. At first, everyone headed for the cover of the tents but then gave up and stayed out when it rained.
