Whether you’re a seasoned craft beer veteran or a newbie looking to dip your toes in the frothy seas, there is nothing better than going to a festival that is created especially to enjoy dozens of different beers from local breweries.
Mississauga’s second annual Creative Craft Beer Festival will bring people together for two days of delicious brews, one-off drinks, ciders, large-format games and even live music and food from local eateries. The festival will play host to 20+ craft breweries and food vendors with the Small Arms Inspection Building, a restored heritage site in the GTA, acting as the venue.
