TORONTO, ON – The annual Cask Days festival – taking place this year at Toronto’s Brick Works on October 27th and 28th – has become one of Canada’s most successful and well-regarded beer events, and part of that success comes from the preview happenings that the organizers present each year.
The Cask Month preview series for 2012 officially kicked off last weekend with a Cask Days pavilion at Beau’s Oktoberfest in Vankleek Hill, but there are plenty of other cask-themed events planned to take place in Toronto in the weeks leading up to the main event, including:
- Monday October 8th: Cask Days at The Brewer’s Backyard
- Thursday October 11th: Great Lakes Project X Cask Days Edition
- Saturday October 13th: Cask Days at Bellwoods Brewery
- Monday October 22nd to Wednesday October 24th: Traditional English Ales at barVolo
- Thursday October 25th: Half Pints Cask Take Over at barVolo
- Friday October 26th: A Night With Howe Sound Pumpkin Eater at barVolo
More details about all of these events can be found on the Cask Days website.

- Greg C. is drinking a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- 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.
