May’s Cask Night was perhaps the biggest and best Cameron’s Cask Night yet.  The weather was fantastic, we had an incredible turn out of local supporters and curious new beer lovers and the food and cask ale received shining reviews.

We invited BBQ Master Jason Rees out to the brewery to prepare a selection of his finest pairings with our Cask of the Month.

The beer was a Mesquite Smoked Ale that carried a nice balance of hops and a sweet smoke flavour.  The beer was paired with the following menu - created by Jason Rees:

• Bacon wrapped asparagus, served in a shot glass with tarragon beere blanc sauce
• Beef Skewers Spiced with Balsamic Fig & Dates
• Chocolate & Coffee Rubbed Pork Medallions
• Smokey Portobello Mushrooms Cheese Burgers

Cameron’s June Cask Night has a special beer in store - a recipe we’ve been working on for a few months.  Don’t miss the Cask Night in June.

Cheers.

Hey Guys and Gals

 Last week  was a memorable one for Neustadt. It started off with us winning a coveted SCOBI award which was awarded from five Chamber of Commerce for Busines of the year Excellence, this is the secound time we have won this award…we were thrilled… we felt we must have been doing something right somewhere!

Then it was pay back time……….My 3 year old Grandaughter was visiting from England… who loves trying on everybodies shoes and left Gran’s shoes all over the dressing room. I got up in the night to use the loo not putting the light on so not to disturb Andrew and whoa and behold I fell over the shoes and ended up in Owen Sound Hospital with a smashed wrist  in surgery for 12 hours and had it all wirded up so I am out of the game for at least 8 weeks ……. the guys were worried because it was my pay check writing hand!

The same day Andrew was taking my daughter and granddaughter back to the airport when he had just hit the Arther/ Orangeville road and he was following a truck when a guy on the opposite side of the road decieded to fall asleep at the weel and plowed into the truck in front missing Andrew by 2 whisker… by the time he had finished diverting traffick and waiting for the emergency crews he made the airport by 2 minutes…. needless to say the driver lived and the truck driver was in shock …like Andrew.

If you’re looking for a great way to spend Saturday afternoon, please allow me to suggest the Old Toronto Beer Tour…

Did you know that in the late 1800s there were 13 competing breweries in Toronto?

Now that you do, aren’t you wondering what might be left of them? The truth is that there are a couple of brewery façades in the city but you have to know where to look… alternately you’re welcome to join myself or Oliver “the ambassador of beer” Dawson as we guide you through a 6-hour beer tour of Toronto!

During the day, we’ll tell you all about the brewing history of Ontario, starting from the first settlers right through to the craft beer movement of the 80s. We will visit a number of beer landmarks throughout the day. Of course we will also take you on brewery tours and provide guided tastings of many local Ontario Craft Beers. At the end of the day, you are free to either wander the Distillery District, home to the fabulous Mill St. Brewery, or crown the day’s events with a fabulous four-course meal at The Granite Brewery (beer included!).
