It was industry collaboration at its finest.”

The 8-day celebration culminated on Saturday, June 22 at SESSION Craft Beer Festival, hosting more than 2000 beer enthusiasts and beer from more than 35 Ontario brewers.
“Ontario Craft Beer Week rocked it,” says Cam Heaps, co-founder of Steam Whistle Brewing and co-chair of Ontario Craft Beer Week 2013. “Thanks so much to all of the people across Ontario who attended events, shared their passion for great beer, and supported our local industry.
