TORONTO, ON – The organizers of Toronto’s annual Cask Days festival and related events have announced their first ever event outside of Ontario.
Taking place on Saturday June 9th at Montreal’s Benelux brewpub, A Night of India Pale Ales will feature cask IPAs from 20 different breweries – 10 from Quebec and 10 from Ontario – plus a one-off collaborative beer from Benelux and Toronto’s House Ales.
From 6:00 to 8:00 PM, the beers will be poured blind in 5 oz samples, with tasters invited to vote on their favourites. At 8:00 PM, the beer and brewery names will be revealed, and service will switch over to 12 oz pours, with a winning beer from the blind tasting announced later in the evening.
More details about the event, including a full list of participating breweries, has been posted on the Cask Days website and a Facebook event listing.

- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Silver Tart by Big Spruce Brewing at King & DufferinTop notch kettle sour with additional kick of tartness from the raspberry. Feels like a summer beer but just as tasty in January.
