Pfft, forget all the haters, Beerfest '06 was quite fun, people were actually pleasant and mid-way through the day you can find people selling tokens half off because their buddy is TOO WASTED to drink anymore and they dont want to lose the value of the rest of his LARGE quantity of tokens!

@uSky: I mustered up all my strength to suppress the grammar/usability nut in me. It's quite the looker though, isn't it?

You have to just love the Festival of Beer website, which seems to have been written while mildly inebriated. Sentence construction doesn't get any better than this:

And the location of the Fort is perfect for visitors touring Toronto as it is easily accessed by TTC (public transit), which services the Festival’s only entrance which is located off Strachan Blvd at Fleet St, and because it is only minutes from the CN Tower.

Plus they have that adorable habit of putting everything in quotes. The "War of 1812" was really quite wink-wink, wasn't it, what with all those chocolate-bar ladies running through the woods and such. Also enjoyed this gem:

Canada’s premier celebration of the golden beverage, complete with real southern BBQ...

Presumably that isn't southern Canadian BBQ. Finally, their map amusingly mislabels a street and still shows two entry gates, when they are only now using one.

Ah, enough whining - on with the draughts.
