  • I love beer. To hold an event just for that is already going to get a great rating. There are usually 2 large beer festivals that go on in a year. One of them is the Toronto Beer Festival in July and then this one The Roundhouse Winter Craft Beer Festival. This one is much smaller then the one in Aug but still holds about 2 dozen brewers compared to the 150 at the Aug event. The tickets in advance are $20 or $25 at the door (limited quantity) and you get a nifty mug to have your beer poured into. If you are going for the door tickets but expect to be there for 8am to line up for them as they will only have around 100 available. I arrived for 10am thinking I can get in but was shut down 5 guys from the gate. They advised to come back around 2pm to maybe let more in but was no guarantees. So we left, went to Real Sports bar for some grub then came back to again be shut down 5 guys from the gate (what were the odds). Luckily we were able to do some magic and was able to get in. Lesson learned, get tickets in advanced. If you do have advanced tickets then prepare to wait a while to get in as they pace the number of people entering to make the event smoother to handle. As well they have to check ID, give you bracelets and do a security check on you. Once you do get in, you'll be greeted with a free toque and with someone selling tokens for the drinks. They are $1 each but sell in packs of 10 or 20. Most of the brewers are Ontario brewers unlike the Aug event has brewers from all over Canada and U.S. Most will charge 1 token for a half glass or 2 for a full, but here's a little trick, always ask for a half glass they will always over pour. Or just say 'be generous' and they'll give you more anyways. They always want you to be happy and to enjoy yourself. If you are cold then no worries, they have the Steam Whistle brewery for you to go into to warm up. There is a washroom there which is usually the longer line since it's indoor. If you want a quicker washroom line then go to the portal potties located to the left of the Steam Whistle. They have live DJ's performing with a dance area and lots of heated lamps or isolated camp fires for you to keep warm. I definitely enjoyed my time there and would recommend going each year. Just come early or buy your tickets early and get ready for the cold. Cheers!!
