“Declaring Guelph.Beer Day is an exciting step in unifying the amazing beer culture that exists in Guelph,” Brothers Brewing owner Colon Proveau said.
“We’re all very excited to build on this year after year to create a one-of-a-kind celebration for local beer lovers.”
To mark Guelph.Beer Day, each brewery is launching a small-batch beer.
Wellington Brewery will be releasing Crispy Forever, a double dry-hopped variation of their Helles Lager.
Royal City Brewing will be releasing a collaboration beer with their neighbours at Guelph Grotto to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
Sleeman Brewery is offering free tours and sampling their new Harvest Rye Lager, while Brothers Brewing will be releasing their HellFire stout and Fixed Fearing Brewing is releasing their Foeder Oak Aged Belgian Saison.
The Guelph.Beer Bus will be providing free transportation from 12-6 p.m. to each brewery. The bus will also include stops at The Fat Duck and the Delta Hotel.
While the bus is free, commuters are encouraged to make a charitable donation to the United Way by using the farebox.
