Beer Fest

For those that know me, know I am a beer girl.  I am not one for sweet drinks but have broadened my horizons to cider and a very dry champagne known as prosecco (really it's sparkling white wine).  Beer, wine and cesars are my drinks of choice which has led to some interesting drink placements from wait staff over the years.  

Beer has also led to some of the best decisions in my life, most notably my partner.  We connected over local brew and never looked back.  Something about the craft brew and the lifestyle that goes along with it which attracts a certain type of folk.  Down to earth, live in the moment, get off from up to couch kinda people that I and we really relate to.  

Last year, I wasn't able to go to Brew Fest so I had high hopes for good weather this year and oh today didn't disappoint.  With highs that felt that they were in the 30's , water and lots of it was the first step.  The next was cool, comfortable clothing and then patience.  The popularity of the event proved to have a few hiccups but overall, after beer in hand, life was pretty mellow.  

The local food trucks didn't disappoint and served until the end.  There were vendors and collectors which had a variety of items from jam, gelato and even beer from Northwestern Ontario memorabilia.  

In true craft beer and I would say active community spirit, we walked to and from the event.  Of course most of the images I and Randy shot were from this walk but really, how could we have not.  

We needed to end off the night with a sweet treat and TJs had just the thing.  We picked up Claire and off we went.  Days that start with Pride parades and end with Beer Fests and ice cream should be remembered for cold winter nights.  Consider this day logged. xoxoxox
