Five weeks tomorrow we launch the first craft beer festival in Stirling! Some details are solidified, and others will come together in the following weeks.
We’ve had interest from plenty of vendors, and are getting the contracts and details worked out with them. Our first wave of vendors to confirm should include:
Church-Key Brewing
Beau’s All Natural Brewing
Fifth Town Cheese
Black Prince Winery
Muskoka Brewery
Spearhead Brewing
Grange of Prince Edward Vineyards
Gilead Distillery
Empire Cheese
Sand Banks Winery
County Cider Company
The Avenues (Peterborough band)
Luke Mercier (violin maker & musician)

We will be offering tickets for $40 (taxes included), which will get you a collector festival glass, and 3 hours access to an amazing selection of craft beers from around Ontario. There will be local cheese, wine, cider, chefs, farmers, and food producers on hand to delight your palate. There will be seminars on a variety of beer topics, and plenty of comparative tasting and food pairings.

Think of it as one of the best lunch or dinner experiences you might ever have; mingle with brew-masters, chefs, sommeliers, wine-makers, and other industry experts while you enjoy the bounty of local food and drink.

Saturday October 15th
Hastings County Museum of Agricultural Heritage
Stirling, ON
SESSION 1: Noon-3pm
SESSION 2: 5pm-8pm

Check www.hastingsbeerfestival.ca  for updates, and to get your tickets. We are heading to Hastings County next weekend, and will secure some local ticket outlets at that time.
