Ontario Craft Brewers Selection and Tasting

Showcasing Ontario products at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario is an initiative of the Hon. Steve Peters, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

As a part of this initiative Speaker Peters hosted the third annual Ontario Craft Beer Selection and Tasting at Queen’s Park on Tuesday, May 4, 2010.  Members and Staff of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario voted on 6 different categories of Ontario Craft Beers which included 48 beers entered by 15 different Ontario Craft Breweries. 

In collaboration with the Ontario Craft Brewers, the 48 beers at the event were chosen for consideration based on their quality and availability. Six categories were chosen to illustrate the great variety, colour, taste and styles available from the Ontario Craft Brewers.‌
