It's that time of year again. The weather starts to change, days become shorter, leaves start fading and Bar Volo hosts their annual Cask Days at the corner of Yonge and Dundonald Streets in Toronto. For four years now Ralph Morana and company have been treating fans of Cask ale (and the occasional lager) by inviting local craft breweries to create a unique firkin for public consumption. The event continues to evolve into one of the premier events in Ontario with beer drinkers coming from all over. Last year a group drove from Montreal to take part.
Volo isn't a huge venue but it offers an intimate feel that adds charm to the event; however, Morana felt that he could use another day to get more people in without overcrowding, so he added two Friday sessions that should ease the flow of people.
Here are the sessions:
October 17th
Fri 12-4 Media Preview
Fri 6-10
October 18th
Sat 12-4 Meet The Brewers
Sat 6-10

"Once tapped, cask beer only has a few days to be consumed at its peak. We call these days Cask Days" - Ralph Morana, Volo owner.
