Project X – Great Lakes Brewery – January 12 2012

Mike Lacker, king of the oak

So Project X is not really a new thing.  Indeed, I’ve talked about it various times on this very blog.  If you don’t know, every month, Great Lakes Brewing Co. hosts an amazing party called Project X.  The idea is, people head down to the brewery to drink awesome great lakes beer, usually including a few one-off or specialty brews, often on cask.  It’s a really great time, and it breaks my heart how often I miss it.  But none more than tonight.

Brewer’s Plate Toronto 2011

Get ready, this is going to be crazy. Want to drink excellent beers, eat amazing food and support a good cause all at once?  It’s easier than you think. The Brewer’s Plate has got you covered. On April 6th, Brewer’s Plate Toronto is bringing together an elite list of brewers, chefs and artisanal food producers in a night of eating and drinking, all in support of Not Far From The Tree, a charity I really dig (there’s a funny joke there, get it? No? You will in a minute).

    Chris SchryerI regularly describe myself as an "ardent supporter of beer", which pretty well sums it up. While I'm not working or busy being a husband and dad (okay, honestly, sometimes while I'm doing those things), I am drinking beer, attending events, visiting pubs, and thinking about beer. I work at Castro's Lounge, my local bar in the Beach, where I host beer events and take part in most things beer-related.
