Whether it’s a pub, concert venue, sporting event or your backyard, we would love to know where your favorite places in Ontario are to enjoy a beer. Let us know by leaving a comment - click on the comment link above.

Cameron’s ‘Let’s Drink the Cask’ Night | Thursday March 27th March 20th, 2008 1 Comment »
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

Mail your coaster to the brewery? | Cameron’s Coaster Campaign February 19th, 2008 8 Comments »
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…

Cameron’s ‘Let’s Drink the Cask’ Night - 2nd Edition December 15th, 2007 No Comments »
Cameron’s Brewing Company hosts a monthly Cask Night. 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 drop by.
Our latest Cask Night on December 13th was a huge success despite the threatening weather. Thanks again to all who made it out to the brewery. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
This month’s Cask was made using our Cameron’s Dark 266, which we seriously dry hopped and added some Oak sticks for additional flavour.
This was without question our most popular cask yet - all who attended had great things to say about it. Here are just a few testimonials…

The award for furthest traveled goes to our man from Washington DC, who was in town for business, but heard about our Cask Nights and came to check it out. Here is what he thought about it…

Thanks again to everyone and we will see you next month.

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.
