If you're a craft beer fan who also enjoys supporting local, you'll want to get your ticket to RendezBrews. Taking place from September 23 to 26, this four-day event will feature over 40 varieties of Ontario beer and is presented by the Toronto Craft Beer Festival in collaboration with RendezViews, one of the city's largest and most vibrant patios.
A celebration in action since 2016, the Toronto Craft Beer Festival is back. The festival aims to bring people together over their passion for beer and pays homage to Ontario's many independent craft brewers. Aside from just beer, you'll also find ciders, great food, fun activities and even live music.
"We are so excited to be able to safely bring together craft beer lovers who support local and independent breweries at RendezBrews," says Guy Exley, Partner of the Toronto Craft Beer Festival. "We listened to our past festival goers and they were very keen to have a festival this year, so we are delivering."
At a venue smaller than previous years, it's expected that tickets will go faster than usual, so you'll want to secure yours soon.
Located within the Entertainment District in what used to be a parking lot, RendezViews came to fruition last summer and is now one of the city's go-to places to visit to enjoy the warm weather. This patio is a whopping 30,000 square feet and is made possible through neighbouring businesses The Fifth Social Club and The Ballroom.
"We set out to be a Toronto destination and throughout the summer have featured an array of programming to be a place for everyone," says Oliver Geddes, Owner at The Fifth Social Club.
Be sure to follow RendezViews on Instagram to keep up with all their fun activities and collaborations and even check out some of their past ones. This includes a recently launched menu by chef Nuit Regular and visits from artists part of The Art Academy.
"As one of the city's go-to spots to grab a drink, we look forward to hosting Toronto's craft beer community," says Barry Taylor, Director of Operations at The Ballroom.
In addition to all this, keep in mind that the official Toronto public viewing of Global Citizen Live is set to take place on Saturday, September 25 at RendezBrews and will be broadcasted from 1:30 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. on their massive jumbotron, also used to broadcast Euro 2020.
Global Citizen is a movement dedicated to ending extreme poverty, with over 10 million monthly advocates that voice change surrounding sustainability, equality and humanity. Global Citizen Live is a historic 24-hour broadcast that is held to defend the planet and defeat poverty, which again you can watch live from RendezBrews on September 25.
Broken up into five sessions with differing time slots to space out attendance, early bird tickets are already on sale on their website and include five sample tokens ahead of the event, with additional tokens available to purchase in advance or even on-site.
