The Beer & BBQ Show
We're taking over the Agriplex!
Presenting Sponsor: 
If you love beer and grilled foods you can't ask for a better place to be! Bring your buddies and enjoy the true tastes of summer at the Beer and BBQ Show presented by Porky’s BBQ.
The event will showcase many fine craft breweries from across south-western Ontario and will pair them with outstanding BBQ prepared by a variety of grill masters from local and area restaurants.
Sample over 50 beers from Ontario's established culture of craft beers, savour sumptuous barbecue by local grillers everything from pork ribs and pulled pork to brisket and chicken. Participate in a variety of sports, cooking demos and activities running throughout the weekend.
MOBILE BREWERY
Billed as a mini-brewery experience, the Alexander Keith’s Mobile Brewery is an interactive space offering beer fans an authentic, hands-on experience with their brewing process. During a visit to the mobile brewery, you’ll get an up close and personal beer education from their skilled Brewmaster, and discover the vital role hops play in the brewing process.

What is a Master Cicerone®?
Master Cicerone® is the third and final level of certification. Those who achieve this certification possess encyclopedic knowledge of beer and highly refined tasting ability. Such knowledge generally results from years of thoughtful study and tasting, travel to classic beer producing areas, hands-on experience with beer service, in-depth familiarity with brewing and ingredients and frequent and repeated experience in beer and food pairing. Candidates have not only knowledge but experience and, as a result, an informed and nuanced understanding of the universe of beer flavor.
