Calling all beer lovers! Toronto Beer Week (@TorontoBeerWeek) is upon us and it’s all starting off with the Beer Experience (@premiumbeers), taking place on Thursday, September 11th.

But wait, it’s not just any beer event… it’s a Premium Beer Experience. It’s the perfect event for beer lovers “who appreciates the time and effort that goes into creating the perfect brew”. There’s going to be a bit of everything at the event including craft beers, boutique beers and beer cocktails.

Vendors include the Kensington Brewing Company (@drinkgoodbeer), Beau’s All Natural Brewing Co (@beausallnatural) and Great Lakes Brewery (@GreatLakesBeer), to name a few. Check out the full vendor listing here.

All the participating breweries are bringing something special to the event – either a unique brew for the event or a preview of a new brew that isn’t being sold yet.

The event will be held at the Berkeley Church (@BerkeleyChurch) on Queen East and admission is $25 in advance (which includes 5 sample vouchers) or $35 at the door. Sample vouchers cost $1 each and most beers are one voucher for a 4oz sample. Food samples are also available (you can’t have beer without something to munch on, after all) for two to four vouchers.

With a fantastic beer selection, food to complement and live music, it’s sure to be an incredible evening!
