Looking for a good reason to enjoy a craft beer? Check out this great article from Forbes on Eight Healthy Reasons to Drink Beer.

Heart Health

A vast number of studies show that moderate consumption of alcohol, including beer, may reduce the risk of heart disease–consistently the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. A 2006 study led by researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Harvard School of Public Health found that, among men with healthy lifestyles, those who consumed moderate amounts of alcohol had a 40 to 60% reduced risk of heart attack compared with heart healthy men who abstained.

Cognitive Function

Is beer good for your brain? Research suggests the answer is yes. A 2006 report published in a journal of the American Heart Association showed that moderate drinking may be associated with better cognitive function in women. Likewise, a 2003 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association said that adults over 65 who consume between one and six alcoholic beverages each week have a lower risk of dementia than non-drinkers and heavier drinkers.

Staying Alive

A review of 50 studies has shown there’s an inverse association between moderate drinking and total mortality under all scenarios for middle-aged and older adults, according to a 2005 report from the United States Department of Agriculture. The lowest risk of death appears to occur when people consume one to two drinks per day, likely a result of the protective effects against coronary heart disease and stroke.

Well, the new Cameron’s coaster campaign is under way. Most pubs that carry Cameron’s ales and lagers have been shipped a few sleeves of our new coasters.

The new Cameron’s coaster may seem like a typical coaster, but it is uniquely different. We decided to fashion our coasters like a postcard allowing people to connect with the brewery in a unique way.

The back of the new coaster looks like a traditional postcard with the ‘Send to’ already addressed to the brewery. The idea is to use the coaster at the pub, fill out your return address on the back and mail it to Cameron’s. In return, we will send you one of our flashy new bottle openers.

As coasters come in, we will add them to the ‘Great Wall of Coasters’ at the brewery. Those who have mailed back a coaster and then come to the brewery to find it, will earn themselves a discount on swag, a ticket for a Cameron’s event or something totally random, but cool.

We are striving to create a culture around a simple ol’ coaster. We will also send out brewery updates, first access to Cameron’s events and as a grand prize, we will email one person this summer to say, “We’re coming to your house with beer, food and music.”

Our coaster campaign officially kicked off February 1 st with coasters starting to arrive in pubs and restaurants the week of Feb 4th. As of this morning, the ‘Wall’ is already a considerable size.

For more information on what establishments carry Cameron’s, kindly email info@CameronsBrewing.com or call 905.849.8282 or visit our website.

Cheers and we’re keeping an eye out for your coaster…

Hello friends,

This is the second installment of the Cameron’s Let’s Drink the Cask Night and this time Adam got to choose what went into the cask. Although we keep the casks a secret, let’s just say Adam’s going a little Christmas crazy this year. It will be a holiday ‘warmer’ and with this month’s unique additions, we are all VERY anxious to try this one.

This month’s Cask Night is this Thursday, December 13th.

Fell free to drop by anytime between 4pm and 7pm.

Let’s Drink the Cask is a casual and intimate event – mainly a chance for us to share a glass of our cask creation with our friends, supporters and our local community.

We will have some local food to enjoy while socializing and chatting about beer.

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.

Cameron’s Brewing is located at: 1165 Invicta Drive, Oakville Ontario.

If traveling via the QEW, take the Trafalgar exit and head North

Turn Right at the first intersection onto Iroquois Shore Road

Take your second Right onto North Service Road

Turn Left on Invicta Drive and follow to the end – you will see a sign for our Beer Store.

Any questions or to confirm your attendance (if you haven’t already) please email info@cameronsbrewing.com or call 905.849.8282

Hope to see you there.

Cheers.

See you all there.  Cameron's has booths 22 and 65 this year and will be serving all four of our beers at both.  Stop by and check out our new American Apparel clothing line, it's pretty sweet.

Cheers
