On an unseasonably warm January night, Nick, Corey, Laurent, Scully and Val said YES To Gen’s invite to visit the Oshlag brewery, take a little tour and have a little party inside the brewery! Well, let me tell you – it was awesome, eye-opening and chock full of wonderful beers! Read More
As we kicked off our fourth (!) year of Beerstitution, we once again packed ourselves into busses and headed out to the Vankleek Hill Fairgrounds for Beau’s Oktoberfest – my favourite local beer fest of them all. Brett, heat and learning how to start our own brewery – all in a day’s work!
September 23rd & 24th past was the 8th edition of the famous Beau’s Oktoberfest in Vankleek Hill, Ontario and was attended by almost 20,000 beer lovers. For those of you that don’t know Beau’s, it’s a wonderful, established, entrenched, craft brewery from just over the Québec/Ontario border that brews incredible, unique, entertaining and very well designed organic beers. They often team up with other brewers and breweries and produce some of the greatest beer to ever go in my face (oh, hello Kissmeyer NPA). A perennial powerhouse here at Beerstitution, we remain in love with Beau’s since the very first Beerstitution. Read More
October 3rd past was the 7th edition of the famous Beaus Oktoberfest out in Vankleek Hill, Ontario and was attended by almost 20,000 beer lovers. For those of you that don’t know Beaus, it’s a fast-growing craft brewery from just over the Québec/Ontario border that brews incredible, unique, entertaining and very well designed organic beers. They often team up with other brewers and breweries and produce some of the greatest beer to ever go in my face. A perennial powerhouse here at Beerstitution, we love Beaus. I personally became addicted to them when I read this piece in the Canadian Beer News explaining how they were paying it forward to help another local brewery expand. Read More
So, at some point during this year’s Mondial de la Bière 2015, most of the Beerstitutioneers headed on down to Palais de Congrès to partake. For me personally, it had been over a decade since I attended the beer fest and I was excited to get back on the beer horse! Read More
