Toronto Festival of Beer - preview

Some of our samples from the TFOB 2011.

Jeff and two friends are off to the Toronto Festival of Beer on Friday night.

While I am jealous of all the great beer they'll have, I'm also sad I'll be missing out on the entertainment: Salt-N-Pepa.

(Did anyone else see this and think, "Really? Salt-N-Pepa are headlining the Friday night at a beer festival?" Because I did.)

New this year at the beer festival, there's a Brewmaster's Series in co-operation with Niagara College, and there will be a World of Beer Pavilion, featuring a host town, region or country. This year, it will feature Quebec beers - which should be awesome. Some insiders have said you can expect to see Brasserie Dieu Du Ciel!, MicroBrasserie Charlevoix, Hopfenstark, Le Trou Du Diable, Brasserie Dunham and Les Trois Mousquetaires.

Also - a huge bonus in my opinion - the plastic cups are gone and they're going with glass for samples.
