Canadians who don't mind the outdoors when the weather is a little frigid would likely be interested in attending the The Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Festival, which took place this year on Saturday, February 10th, at Toronto's Roundhouse Park near the city's former Railway Lands.
The event hosted many different craft beer brands, as well as a selection of food vendors, who offered plenty of meat-based dishes and more that satisfied any cravings that the beverages might have prompted. Craft breweries in attendance included Steam Whistle, Muskoka Brewery, Big Rig, Maclean's Ales, Royal City, Ernest Cider, and many more. A few featured vendors included Curbside Dogs, Hank Daddy's Barbecue, Mustache Burger, The Pie Commission, and Pour House.
Ticket sales benefited the Toronto Railway Heritage Museum.
