While the festival’s highlight is sampling beers, ciders, and spirits from local Ontario breweries and distillers, it will also feature a range of games for attendees.
The event blends food, games, and late-night energy in one space. Guests can move between Oktoberfest-style tables and board game areas featuring classics like Jenga, Battleship, and Connect Four. A dance party anchors the evening, alongside retro gaming consoles, and a wide selection of beer, cider, spirits, tacos, and drinks.
Of course, no beer festival is complete without food, and the I Love Beer Festival delivers on this front. The festival will feature local food vendors, all serving delicious snacks to satisfy your cravings.
The festival tour locations include Toronto, Ottawa, Kitchener, London, Peterborough, Guelph, Barrie and Hamilton.
The I Love Beer Festival is a 19+ event and requires a valid photo ID for entry.
