Created by the founders of Toronto’s extremely successful Toronto’s Festival of Beer (now in its 18th year), 2011 was the premiere of the Queer Beer Festival. This one-day celebration of diversity is the first of its kind in North America. In tribute with the gay, lesbian and trans communities, the Queer Beer Festival celebrates Canada’s rich brewing history and is hosted by experts of the brewing craft from around the world. Featuring 200+ brands, great live acts and delicious food – from gourmet BBQ to oysters and more!

Given the nature of the event, it’s for 19+ only.

Mark your calendars – the 2nd Annual Queer Beer Festival will take place on Thursday, July 26, 2012 at 4:30pm (Regular Tickets) and 3:00pm (Hoptimized tickets).
