My favourite festival

I enjoy a good theatre or musical festival like most people, some more than others, but this year I'm missing one of my favourite weekends in Toronto. Today marks the start of the Beer Festival . Pete and Kara introduced me to this last year and it was so much fun. It's not a cheap event, but it's not crazy expensive and you get to try all sorts of different beer from all over the world. An added bonus is that there is all sorts of food on sticks. As a fairly adventurous beer drinker it's nice to try something new and to easily avoid Canadian, Budweiser, or Keith's. The yummy discovery of last year was Camerons, and one gross discovery was Dogsbody -- it really tasted like a wet dog, there was also one that tasted like fire -- not smoke but fire.
I hope someone goes this year and finds a new beer. Don't forget to pay homage to the beer of my homeland the Big Rock Brewery and raise a glass of Traditional Ale for me.
