First Ontario Craft Beer Week a Resounding Success
The feedback is in from the First Ever Ontario Craft Beer Week, which took place between June 20 - 26, 2010, with over 120 beer events held in communities across the province. Every OCB member participated in some way, hosting special events in their breweries, tasting events and beer dinners in licensees and/or participating in the wrap-up craft beer festival SESSION at Sunnyside Pavillion in Toronto.
Our photographer was out among the merrymakers, and captured some great images from the gaggle of Ontario Craft Beer week happenings.
