Even though Ottawa is experiencing uncharacteristically mild weather, thus far, our amazing Winterlude festivities still draw in thousands of people to the Nation’s Capital to enjoy. And for beer lovers, one event stands out as the primordial event of all events – Winter Brewfest.
Motivated by the success of last year’s run, Winter Brewfest is back in full force for its second edition. With over 100 different types of beers to wet your whistle from more than 35 plus microbreweries from Ontario and Quebec, there will definitely be an old, new and soon to be favourite sud(s) that craft beer lovers will imbibe.
Once again, the newly renovated Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park will be hosting the brewery event. And if enjoying a brewsky or two isn’t your thing, then you will be pleased to hear that a wine and spirits bar as well as ciders will be available during the event.
The largest craft beer festival in Ontario!
If this year’s event is anything like last year’s, the Horticulture Building will be THE place to be. Guests will not only enjoy, partake and indulge in the suds, but will also fill their tummies with some delicious nibbles all the while taking in some live entertainment.
