Hello friends,
Following last month’s infamous Cask 19 Plato, this month’s Cameron’s ‘Let’s Drink the Cask Night’ will be on Thursday March 27th, 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.

Check out some Cask Night Video Clips on our Facebook Fan Page or on You Tube.
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.

For any questions or to RSVP (if you haven’t already), email mike@cameronsbrewing.com
For more information or to get directions, visit this Cameron’s link.

Cameron’s Brewing is only a short jaunt from the Oakville GO Station, so feel free to make the trip that way as well.

We also now have a blog so check it out.

Hope to see you all on Thursday.

Cheers.

Mike

Cameron’s Brewing Company hosts a monthly Cask Night on the last Thursday of each month. It is a chance for us to experiment with some of our brews, hang out and chat with friends, loyal supporters and anyone who wants to be added to the guestlist.

Our latest Cask Night on Thursday February 28th. We issued a preliminary warning that this Cask was going to BIG. It was indeed. This month’s cask was Head Brewer Jason Britton’s creation which he named 19 Plato. The cask was created from an Auburn Ale base, with higher alcohol and dry hopped with a very unique blend of hop varietals. The end product was fantastic.

As in previous Cask Nights, Whole Foods Markets generously donated a selection of food created specifically as a pairing for the cask brew. The selection featured smoked wings (with a hint of vanilla) and giant meatballs in a delicious tomato based sauce. To say that those who attended enjoyed the food is an understatement.

Thank you to the 50+ attendee’s and thank you for helping us build this event.

Our next ‘Let’s Drink the Cask Night’ will be on Thursday March 27th

For more information on how to attend our Cask Nights, please email mike@cameronsbrewing.com. As well, join the Cameron’s Brewing Facebook Fan Page.

Cheers!

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…

The Budd Cup is an annual charity Dodgeball Tournament held in Toronto.

The event entails somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 teams or 150 people battling it out on the Dodgeball court while raising money for charity.

This year the Budd Cup was raising money for The Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund - a bold, non-profit initiative designed to integrate, educate, celebrate and promote all facets of music therapy in this country.

Not only was Cameron’s the official beer sponsor for the event, but we also fielded a 14 person squad - The Cameron’s ‘Jolly Dodgers‘. Although we lost our first game to the defending champions (Mr. Dodgers Neighborhood), we were able to draw Cops and Dodgers in the second game and managed to squeak out a win over the Dodgebots in our third game.

All in all, it was a great event for a great cause.

For the rest of the pictures and more Cameron’s event info, visit the Cameron’s Brewing Facebook Page.

More on The Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund - Since 1994, with the help of the Canadian music industry, the Trust Fund has been able to distribute over $2 million to almost 290 projects from coast to coast. These projects range from hospices for terminally ill persons with cancer or HIV/AIDS, centres for the aged, schools for children who are autistic, physically or mentally challenged and programs for street kids.

A quick happy new years to all the OCB fans and brewers from the folks at Cameron’s Brewing Company.

Thanks for supporting Ontario Craft Brewers in 2007 and keep an eye on us in 2008.  There’s some  big things happening amongst these small breweries

Cheers
