Upcoming Spring Sessions of Toronto's Festival of Beer 2017 Update: Enter my contest to win tickets to the Spring Sessions May 20-21 Beerfestival - see my post here, contest ends Wednesday night, May 17.

The Victoria Day holiday weekend is perfectly made for beer, after all it is named the May Two Four weekend, so I am glad to see the warm up to the summer TFOB will have the BeerFestival return to Fort York - May 20 and 21. This year, Garrison Common at the historic fort will feature the Campfire Sessions with live acoustic performances by Elliott BROOD on Saturday and The Trews on Sunday. "Spring Sessions of Toronto's Festival of Beer is going to be an incredible time to stay in the city," said Les Murray, President of Beerlicious Inc., "We have Canadian rockers Elliott BROOD and The Trews headlining our festival, along with a fantastic selection of brews to sample and a great roster of local restaurants and food trucks for people to enjoy. We're also bringing back the cottage in the city theme this year, with fire pits, outdoor games and lawn chairs to tie the theme together - you don't want to miss it!"

Musician Elliott BROOD is a Juno award winning artist that has a blackgrass, death country style and is currently in the studio working on their album Ghost Gardens which is planned for release this Fall. The Trews are a Canadian hard rock band from Nova Scotia which has released a number of albums and have won seven East Coast Music Awards, three Independant Music Awards and five Juno Award nominations. This is the fourth year for the Spring Sessions which are part of the amazing Toronto's Festival of Beer family. Just like getting back to the cottage with good friends, food, music and some tasty cold suds and where you can even sit around the campfire pits and toast some marshmallows. Tickets are on sale now at www.beerfestival.ca with earlybird tickets selling for $30. Get them now before they go up in price or sell out. Each ticket to the 19+ beer sampling event also gets you a commemorative festival sampling mug along with five sampling tokens. I still use my mug so I look forward to adding another to my collection.

"The event celebrates Canada's rich brewing history with experts of the brewing craft from around Ontario and a wide selection of restaurateurs, food trucks and performances for people to enjoy, all within a cottage theme. Featuring 30+ brands onsite, this is Canada's premier celebration of the golden beverage and cottage in the city!"

Come back later for a ticket contest where I will give away two sets of tickets - a pair of tickets to Saturday's session and a pair of tickets to Sunday's session.
