Details released for 4th annual Ontario Craft Beer Week
The fourth annual Ontario Craft Beer Week launches Father’s Day, June 16, 2013. Hosted by 30+ Ontario Craft Brewers (OCB), the festival features hundreds of craft beer-themed, grassroots events in cities and towns throughout the province.
The goal of Ontario Craft Brewers’ week-long, province-wide festival is to celebrate the local craft beer scene and expose consumers to the premium quality and culture of Ontario craft beer. OCB breweries will host events on-site at their breweries, in pubs, restaurants, and event venues throughout Ontario in cities such as Toronto, Guelph, London, Ottawa and smaller communities from Cambridge to Vankleek Hill and Muskoka to Niagara.
Steve Abrams, co-chair, Ontario Craft Beer Week 2013 and partner/owner, Mill Street Brewery said, “Ontario Craft Brewers’ annual celebration of craft beer, the people who make it and the people who drink it, will return to communities across the province this Father’s Day.”
