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 Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. A bit of oxidization and mild combination shows its age. But still OK.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Blood of Cthulhu (2018) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinUnlike other reviewers, the berries really pop for me in this year’s batch. And the booze seems less prominent. Great stuff!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mocha Porter by Granville Island Brewing at King & DufferinWell built combo of roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, with a suitably dry finish. No sticky sweetness as can sometimes happen with the style.
- Greg C. is drinking a Bonne Faim by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinA nice Tripel that hits the right balance between sweet and dry, with subtle notes of hibiscus and strawberry that integrate well.
- Greg C. is drinking a Foeder Fermented Grisette by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinA lot going on - sourdough, lemon, fruity-to-funky Brett, fresh herbs & more. But it’s also easy to just drink & enjoy. Elegant simplicity.
