CraveTO

I havent had a chance to write this out as life has been nonstop hectic since after this event..


May 30th was the night that opened the gates to another summer patio season, we celebrated by attending CraveTO. A night celebrating Toronto Food and Beer! The event was held at Wychwood Barns Park. Beer, wine, cider and small batch liquor were all on ice, ready to go when we got there.

Both extremely excited and eager to start, we didn't know where to begin. With the scent of the delicious foods and the friendliness of vendors, we first made sure to beat the line up for the drink tickets before taking a quick tour around.

I first tried 'Naughty Neighbor' Pale Ale by Nickel Brook Brewery. Described as, clear pale yellow with white head. Hoppy aroma, light caramel malt and citrus on the taste. Mild bitterness, and quite delicious.

Melissa's first taste was Seagrams Apple Cider (pictured below). The cider was delicious, hints of fresh pears and strong sense of crisp red apples. Tastes more like fresh apple cider than like most of the alcoholic ciders on the market today. I, personally, was extremely impressed with the delicious flavours of this cider, its light and not too sweet like other ciders than we often find at the LCBO.

I also tried Amsterdam Brewery's BoneShaker. A deep, strong beer, full bodied and full of flavour beer, truly a bone-shaker.


The beautiful Wychwood Barns venue (pictured below), the area was clean and relaxing. Both Melissa and I, have grown up in small towns away from the busyness of the city. and neither of us could believe how calm the area was around us without having leaving Toronto!

Plate of delicious, homestyle plaintain and pulled pork from a local vendor.

 Both the Rhubarb Blosson & Honey Rye Lemonade by Dillon's Small Batch Distillers' we tried were fantastic. The bitters added the perfect crisp taste to the refreshing drinks.

This event was ABSOLUTELY fantastic, we had a great time tasting local beer and food. We cannot wait for the next CraveLocal event on June 26th!
