CASK!

Don’t forget to join us this Saturday, March 23rd from 1pm to 5pm at Castro’s Lounge, 2116 Queen St E, Toronto. Castro’s will be celebrating the revival of cask ales as part of their craft beer offerings. Yay!

They will be serving at least three different cask beers on Saturday. They are finalizing their beer selection as we speak, but it is likely to include Hemp Haze, Al’s Cask Ale and ESB from C’est What Durham Brewing. Come and check it out.

We have news about a couple of upcoming events celebrating cask ale, including another Cask! Social. We hope you can make it.

After the briefest of hiatuses… it was only three years after all… we are back with a Cask! Social. Yay!

Please join us for our Cask! Social season opener at C’est What, 67 Front St. East, Toronto, on Saturday May 13th from 2:00-5:00pm.

There will be a relative plethora of cask ales available to wet your whistle at this stalwart cask ale pub.

We hope to see you there.

As a result of the Province of Ontario’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cask! Social that was scheduled for March 28th 2020 will be postponed until a later date.

We hope everyone stays safe and well.

We hope you can join us for our next Cask! Social which returns to an East End gem, Castro’s Lounge, 2116 Queen St East, Toronto. Castro’s welcomes us back to its cozy atmosphere and unique vibe for an afternoon of cask ale enjoyment in the spring weather (here’s hoping).

Saturday March 28th from 1:00pm until 5:00pm.

We will update you on details of the cask ales that will be available once they have been announced.

And… for those wishing to stick around, Castro’s regular Saturday evening live music slot starts at 6:00pm.

Toronto is rejoicing in the much-anticipated opening of the new Bar Volo on St. on Nicholas Street. And with six beer engines dispensing cask conditioned ales, we are rejoicing too! We have cause to celebrate in our own inimitable way – with a Cask! Social of course.

Please join us on Saturday, November 2nd, from 3:00pm. Bar Volo is located at 17 St. Nicholas Street, Toronto, near Yonge and Wellesley.

We look forward to seeing you there

Thank you to everyone who turned out for this year’s Beer for a Cure event. It was a fun evening with an entertaining English-themed quiz (thanks to Martin Long, Quiz Master extraordinaire), a successful live auction (thanks to this year’s auctioneer, Nick Pashley) and fantastic songs care of Benny Caruana and his guitar! And of course all of the cask beers were very tasty indeed, pairing well with the delicious four-course meal!

Thanks to your generous support we were able to raise $2,700 for charity. The funds will go to the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Prostate Cancer Canada.

Special thanks to all the folks at The Granite Brewery and Tied House for supporting this event every year and for looking after us so well.

The beers have been announced for the St. George’s Day Beer for a Cure dinner, to be held on Saturday April 20th 6:30pm at The Granite Brewery and Tied House. Check out the full menu…
