Singles Night Fundraiser: Craft Beer and Crafts Night

I often like the kitchen sink additions to my beer, and, heck, I always love craft beer, crafts (especially if craft beer related or done while drinking craft beer), charitable endeavours, great events, and knowing people are getting to hook up (over craft beer especially).

Yes, all of these come together in this Toronto event worthy of promotion.  Sunday September 29 at 7:15 pm sees an event at Betty's on King that brings all of these things together.  The event is a singles event with craft beer consumption alongside craft-making, while all serving as a fun fundraiser for Art City in St. James Town

If interested, note the details below and be sure to RSVP of your planned attendance!  Feel free to spread the good word... to singles!  It is a good way to spread craft beer, crafts, and charity under the motivating factors of meeting someone new, drinking great beer, and doing your part to alleviate the ails of our damaged world (while drowning your sorrows!)

EVENT:  Craft Beer + Crafts Night (Open to all singles!)

WHY:  Fundraiser for Art City in St. James Town (Charity providing free and accessible art programs to the children and youth of St. James Town) 

WHAT:  Schmooze and drink a wide variety of craft beers (or other drinks of your choice) with other awesome singles while working on fun craft projects to the beat of the right music to get your creative juices flowing!

WHEN:  Sunday, September 29, 2013, 7:15 p.m.

It Might Not Be the Twelve Beers of Christmas, But It Sounds Good To Me...

You may or may not be aware of The Brewery Market at Wychwood Barns just South of St. Clair and Christie.  This farmer and (often but not solely culinary) artist market allows the talented growers and producers of local foods and wares to share their products with the public, and local beer is no different.

Each Brewery Market event welcomes a single (and varied) Ontario craft brewery to bring some of their selection for public purchase and tasting with a portion of the proceeds going to "help support The Stop’s many healthy food initiatives, which include community kitchens and gardens programs, community advocacy, urban agriculture projects, sustainable food systems education and peri-natal care programs."


The event runs on a specific schedule with the next event, entitled "Twas the Beer Before Christmas," welcoming the newly opened Indie Alehouse (located in Toronto's Junction) to offer four beers for your enjoyment: A freshly brewed Christmas Spiced Porter, alongside standard fares in their breakfast porter, "Leadership Qualities," their Belgian IPA, "The Belgian Barnyard," and their "Instigator Pale Ale," west-coast style IPA.


This event takes place this Sunday, December 18 from 1-5pm at Wychwood Barns.  More information can be found at http://brewerymarket.com/

See you there!
