Spearhead Brewing sponsors Great Canadian Homebrew Conference

CABA’s annual Great Canadian Homebrew Conference is coming up on June 18th at The Rhino. With a theme of extreme brewing, CABA is pleased to announced that Toronto’s newest craft brewery, Spearhead Brewing Company, is sponsoring the event this year.

Both Spearhead’s founder and brewmaster will be on hand to speak about brewing extreme beers and how the brewery went from a good idea to reality. Spearhead is officially launching its first beer, a pineapple-infused west coast pale ale named Hawaiian Style Pale Ale, at Volo in Toronto on June 16th, and on the 18th, CABA members will get an inside look into the latest brewery to set up shop in Toronto.

Founder Dimitri van Kampen is an enthusiastic beer lover and entrepreneur who, with his team, has created a brand that is sure to be the talk of the the province of Ontario this month as its beer rolls out to more than 30 bars, pubs and restaurants around Toronto and elsewhere in southern Ontario.

You didn’t think we could top last year’s GCHC, did you? This year, we have Spearhead, samples of various extreme beers (including a healthy selection of some off-the-beaten-track extreme beers), and our usual fun and merriment. Take down the details and make plans to attend this year’s GCHC.

Date: June 18th

Location: The Rhino, 1249 Queen St. West, Toronto

Time: 10:30 am to 6 pm (Doors open at 10 am)

Agenda: Spearheads brewmaster will be speaking about and providing samples of  their new beers in a collectors glass that is yours to keep. Lunch will be 3 courses with 4 tasters of extreme beers and a pint of Smash Bomb. Spearhead will come back for more Q&A and samples, the competition awards will be given out and we will head upstairs for more fun and frivolity.
