Following last month’s infamous Mesquite Smoked Ale with BBQ Master Jason Rees (perhaps the best Cask Night yet) this month’s Cameron’s ‘Let’s Drink the Cask Night’ will be on Thursday June 26th, from 6:00 - 8:00pm

Cameron’s Cask Nights are a casual and intimate monthly event at the brewery. The guestlist only event is free of charge and mainly a chance for us to share a glass of our latest creation with our friends, supporters and our local community.

For those who have not been to the brewery before, this is a great chance to meet the folks behind the scenes and to tour our facility.   As well, it’s a great time to pick up some brewery fresh Cameron’s beer.

We will be tapping the Cask at approximately 6:15pm.

Whole Foods Markets have graciously donated some delicious food for the event.  The food will be available at 6pm.

As always, the event is capped at 60 people to keep it intimate and to ensure everyone gets a taste of the cask.  RSVP’s always come flooding in, so confirm your attendance as quickly as possible.

Due to the good weather and overall cheer at the brewery, we encourage everyone to invite a guest (or a few) to join them this month.  Just indicate how many people will be coming with you on your RSVP.

For any questions or to RSVP (if you haven’t already), email mike@cameronsbrewing.com

Our on-site retail store will be open throughout Cask Night for those that want to pick up beer for the weekend.

For more information or to get directions, visit this Cameron’s link.

We also now have a blog so check it out.

Hope to see you all on Thursday.

Cheers.

The Victory Café is hosting a Cask Ale festival on Sunday July 13th, 2008.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Cask Ale (a.k.a. Real Ale) it is beer in its natural state. No filtering or force-carbonation. Ever wonder what your favourite Ontario Craft Beers taste like in the raw? Come on down and find out! The breweries that will be participating are:

Black Oak
County Durham
F&M
Grand River
Granite Brewery

The brewers will be in attendance. I’ll also be at the event to talk to people about how fabulous Cask Ale is, and to field any beer-related questions.

On a side note, this festival co-incides with Pedestrian Sundays, so the whole street will be closed to traffic, and there should be music, street scrabble and all sorts of fun…

See you there!

Interview – Speaker of the House, Steve Peters

01:05 – A new initiative has been implemented at the House, to help support and draw attention to the wonderful craft beer being brewed throughout the province.  Moving forward, Ontario Craft Beer will be the highlighted beer within the House, it will be the only beer served in the dinning room and will be the first beer offered at all events. 

In this episode the Speaker takes a couple minutes to discuss this initiative, how it came about, the beers that were chosen and what it means for the Ontario Craft Brewers.
