Great to see some OCB'ers out for the Golden Tap Awards at beerbistro.  A fun night with tasty food, good people and a great beer selection.  Thoroughly enjoyed Denison’s Weissbier, Black Oak's Transvestite's Tipple, and Church-Key's West Coast Pale Ale.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to beerbistro for hosting and for the 20+ mini sandwiches/burgers I tackled.

 Until next time.

Unfortunately Walkerville Brewing Company will not be at this year's great event! We had to split our muscle (& beer) with some 30,000 Wallaceburg country folks who are going to begin indulging any minute in 400 cases of Walkerville Superior Light! So we wish all our fellow brewers, beer drinkers and just fun festival people, a great time in Toronto. See you at the festival next year. In the meantime check for us @ C'est What when making a pit stop on the way home.

cheers

Two more sleeps until the TFB. This year it sounds as if the gang at the festival is pulling out all the stops to make it the best show ever.

Neustadt will be featuring thier 4.5% Scottish Pale ale and the Gold medal winning 5% Neustadt Lager (our 2 original beers) As this year kicks off our tenth year in the Ontario brewing world.

I look forward to meeting you all at my bar (booth 47) on Thursday night, and I might bring im if he's good.

Remember drink responsibly DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE

• Beer ice cream, by Great Lakes Brewing (Booth 55), served out of a bicycle fridge.
• Neustadt Springs’ re-introducing Scottish Pale Ale in Booth 47. “It’s only 4.5 per cent and it’s ideal because it has afor the summer,” said Neustadt’s Val Simpson. nice bite to it
• Brick’s Waterloo Wheat finally ventures into Toronto. Booth 56.
