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 Farmhouse Brett by The Six Brewing Co. at The Six Brewing Co.Nicely balanced between fruity & funky Brett characteristics. Melon, Mayer lemon, touch of bandaid. Fairly dry finish. Good stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking an I Swear Sugarpants, It Was Your Idea 2019 by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinNot sure why there are separate annual entries for this beer, but I’ll go with it. Has cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla & cream notes as promised.
- Greg C. is drinking a Low Voltage by Powerhouse Brewing Company at King & DufferinClean & simple golden ale. Needs a bit more body to be a true cream ale, IMO, but still a well-crafted thirst-quencher.
- Greg C. is drinking a Ryevalry Roggenbier by Mill Street Brewery at King & DufferinFruity esters and sweet malt dominate, with earthy/peppery rye providing a nice backnote. Hint of banana bread as well. Nicely done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Chocolate Cheesecake Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Beer Co. at King & DufferinThe flavour delivers what the name promises. And like most cheesecake it’s too sweet for me personally. But I can still see the attraction.
