Every year, Taste of Guelph raises thousands of dollars to support vital equipment needs for St. Joseph’s Health Centre Guelph, and over the last five years has raised an amazing $600,000. But it wouldn’t be possible without the support of our generous food and beverage participants, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees. With the cancellation of Taste of Guelph 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is our turn to support those who help make our event so successful. Check out the blog below to see how you can support local!

There is no doubt that Guelph is home to some phenomenal brews. Just in time for the long weekend, sip some sours, imbibe some IPA’s or pour some Pilsners- these breweries have a little something for everyone…well…everyone 19+.

Beau’s All Natural Brewing

You’ve probably seen Beau’s at your local LCBO or Beer Store, or on tap at one of your favorite restaurants. If you haven’t tried one of their brews yet, you’re missing out! Looking for an adventure? Try their Country Vibes brew. According to Beau’s, this beer cannot be defined by just one style of beer, but is an amber lagered ale, rich in colour and toasty sweetness, balanced by clean, crisp hops.

Von Bugle Brewing

Von Bugle Brewing was born when Steam Whistle Brewing wanted to grow, but didn’t have the room within their space at the well-known Roundhouse. Found at most LCBO and Beer Store locations, it is a Munich Lager created using German long-aging brewing methods. Don’t let its dark colour surprise you though, it’s crisp, smooth with gentle bitterness and malt sweetness.
