Toronto Festival of Beer 2018

#Beerlove's last day of 2018 is happening today and the taps will flow and the music will play as the celebration of beer finishes with bands like Finger Eleven and I Mother Earth. General admission starts at 1:30pm and last call is at 7:30pm on Sunday, July 29, 2018. We bought our first set of tokens (20 for $20) and our first stop was Toronto's Mill Street Brewery.

The atmosphere here is as great as the weather. Funktown's DJ pumps out the jams near the south fountain and live bands have started on the bandshell stage. The bandshell lineup for Sunday, July 29: Brothers of North (2:30pm), Stuck on Planet Earth (3:30pm), Finger Eleven (4:30pm) and I Mother Earth (6:15pm). The 2018 festival also featured bands Broken Social Scene, The Rural Alberta Advantage and The Darcys on Thursday, Ludacris on Friday, Dwayne Gretzky on Saturday.

TFOB brings an incredible selection of 416 brews to Exhibition Place for a 416 in the 416, or for some, the Six. You can also find a great selection of culinary choices from food trucks and vendor stalls, paying for the food is easy because you can use your tokens. The Ted Reader pulled pork sandwiches were so good at a very reasonable festival cost of $10 each, he brings the barbecue to life and he is also on site much of the time. Food choices include: La Palma, Campagnolo, Fidel Gastro's, Tiny Tom Donuts, Queen Margherita Pizza,Smoke's Poutinerie, South St. Burger, Jerk Brothers, Ted's World Famous BBQ, Ted's Beer Dogs, Heirloom Toronto, Melt Grilled Cheese, Ontario Corn Roasters, Oyster Boy, Hot Bunzz Street Cuizine, Brando's Fried Chicken.

“Not only will Toronto’s Festival of Beer serve up everyone’s favourite golden beverage, it will also have delicious food options for fans to enjoy!” said Les Murray, President of Beerlicious and Toronto’s Festival of Beer. “We are very fortunate to have such high-quality food vendors at this year’s festival which is why we are encouraging fans and foodies to grab their tickets now, while supplies last!”

We came early because I love small lineups but the crowds at the park and the energy level continue to climb.

"Toronto's Festival of Beer will also host a number of fantastic beer attractions this year, which include: New Brews presented by TekSavvy and TFOB Spotlights on: Women In Beer; Phillips Brewing from Victoria, BC; and Funk Town."

And the party continues after the jump.
