StoneHammer was well represented at the Evergreen Brickworks Annual Picnic in Toronto, a great event promoting Sloe Food and pretty much anything local and organic...it's the kind of thing that we at the brewery dig.
Longo's opened a lounge in their new flagship location at Maple Leaf Square, and what's on tap you ask...StoneHammer Pilsner, of course! So why not have a pint of Stoney P before you catch a Leafs game while they are playing well...I fear it will not last long! Or if you're not a Leafs fan, and would rather enjoy a pint with a fantastic view of Toronto, why not a pint of Stoney D at Canoe!
Scott, the Guelph guy, and I brought our 7 irons and our putters to the Toronto Festival of Beer's Golf Tourny, and while we are great with beer, we're not with golf...but we were better then everyone else! So we have a guaranteed spot at next year's fest, so look for us...mmmm, beer fests!
Speaking of which, George and Andrew are working hard in the brewhouse, as CaskDays are upon us. Grand River Brewery in Cambridge was host to Cask Fest West, where we brought a StoneHammer All Hallows Imperial Brown Ale, certainly not for the faint of heart! (We claimed it to be 8.6%, but methinks it was a little more than that!).
Tonight, we head to BarVolo to say Hello to Ralph, the brains behind Cask Days, where the StoneHammer Bitter will make its debut, Friday a StoneHammer Beta Red Ale (a belgian beat beer with hints of clove...yummy!) will be pouring at Volo as well...oh Cask Days! Quite literally, I am sampling it as I type...
So all in all, lots and lots of tasty beverages to be had and a shout out to Zach at Grand River, who concocted a wicked Maple Ale, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
And stay tuned as StoneHammer Oatmeal Coffee Stout is about to make its return!
But for now my computer says its 11:00am, so I can go buy a beer now...anybody down for the Wooly?!
Til next time,
StoneHammer Bill
Drink Craft Beer...it just tastes better!
