“When reaching for a cold one, Canadians are turning to local, craft beer more than ever. We’re excited to welcome all of the awesome new and returning breweries from across Canada to this year’s Expo,” says Paul McNair, Show Manager of the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo. “Of course, the Expo wouldn’t be the same without all of the unbelievable food vendors on hand. This year, we’re introducing the brand new Gourmet Urban Market, which will celebrate products from local producers.”
Beer lovers are in luck at this year’s Gourmet Food & Wine Expo, with a diverse range of breweries on tap, such as Amsterdam Brewery, Beau’s All Natural Brewing Co., Creemore Springs Brewery, Goose Island Beer, Mill Street Brewery, Moosehead Brewery, Nickle Brook Brewing, Old Tomorrow, Railway City Brewing, Sam Adams and Whitewater Brewing Company. Not to mention several ciders, including Angry Orchard, Magners Pear, and Pommies Cider, to name a few.
If you’re looking for something to pair with your craft beer, food vendors like Cannoli Queens, Liko’s Hawaiin BBQ, Casa Manila, Mad Mexican and Moksha Indian Bistro, among many more, offer plenty of choice and tastes from around the world.
