Toronto Festival of Beer 2010


Well, another year and another day of tasting the brews from breweries from around the world and some of the local favourites.


2010 marks the second year that the festival has been held at Bandshell Park on the CNE grounds. The venue is larger than Fort York but closer to GO transit and TTC but still the larger venue takes away from the atmosphere that Fort York had. Everything is more spread out and that keeps the masses of people further away from one another so to me, its just not as fun as a few thousand people having a good time in closer quarters. Also, since the move there have been a few less of my favourite vendors that have in years past amazing booths where the "party" was all day (Carlsberg, Red Stripe).


Nonetheless, the day was a great time like always with great people, staff and thankfully the weather held out and we didn't have a mudbowl like 2008.


Here are some pictures to display the feel of the day...booty shorts, tanktops, beer and babes...and the dude in a red leather jacket...Enjoy, I know I did!
