There’s a baker’s dozen of craft breweries at Saturday’s Durham Craft Beer Festival inside Children’s Arena in Oshawa with the recent addition of 5 Paddles of Whitby – now under new ownership – to the lineup.
The 13 breweries, which include a half-dozen local favourites, will be joined by Durham Distillery of Ajax and Rice Lake Hard Cider for extra variety, as well several local food trucks, including recent signing Marsala Food Truck, with spicy Indian food their speciality.
The eighth edition of the Durham Craft Beer, now in its second year of new ownership and first at Children’s Arena, situated a stone’s throw from downtown Oshawa adjacent to the Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens, takes place from one p.m. to 7 p.m. June 3.
The breweries have released the brews they will be bringing for thirsty patrons, a sampling of which includes:
- White Wolf Coffee Blond (Couchiching)
