April 17th is the 6th instalment of a beer and food lover’s fantasy.
The Brewer’s plate highlights, supports and promotes local economies and the entrepreneurs that make them up. Specifically, the ones who make and serve beer and fare with a care for craft.
Proceeds for the annual event go to Not Far From The Tree, a great local non-profit that harvests fruit on private and public property, then divides it between the pickers, the owners and charity.
If you’d like to learn about the beer universe at an easy-going/delectable event, this is it. The CBC Barbara Frum Atrium is a great venue, and the brewers (chefs and artisans too for that matter) are all eager to chat.
