Went to the Beer Festival with my friend, Kerri. It was in a new location this year - the bandshell park part of the CNE grounds. Most people seemed to think it wasn't as intimate as Fort York, but Kerri and I liked it just fine.
Didn't get a lot of entries at the Beer Fest, but we hung out at the Steelback booth for a bit, talking to Jonathan, the owner of Steelback who was working the taps. We also got to chatting with one gregarious guy. He said he was in the business of ideas, so I asked him for something from his wallet. Very unique entry idea ... a game of hangman. He had us play hangman to guess the name of the movie he had rented on this card.
The movie is a documentary about Wilco, and he highly recommended it. He was very impressed that we guessed the movie with only one wrong letter.
Since I'd started the ball rolling, I asked Jonathan for something from his wallet. Although I normally object to business cards, getting the business card from the owner of a brewery is pretty cool. For more info on Jonathan and Steelback beer, check out this blog entry by the beer blogger guy: Meet Jonathon Sherman: Owner Steelback Brewing Co
After Beer Fest (which, by the way, is a time warp zone - six hours goes by way too quickly), we headed to "The Brazen Head" in Liberty Village. The group at the table next to us were having a lot of fun and got to talking with us. Here are a couple of entries from a couple of them.
The reference to "Puma guy" in the next one is because I had complimented him on his hat. It had the pouncing cat logo of Puma on the side of the ballcap, and the legs of the puma are the guy's side burns. Pretty cool visual.
