TORONTO, ON – Kensington Brewing Company (KBCo) recently passed its 2nd anniversary, and to celebrate the milestone, the company will be holding a party next month where they’ll be pouring several one-off beers created in collaboration with other Ontario craft breweries.
Taking place at The Rhino (1249 Queen St. W., Toronto) on Sunday June 2nd from 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the event will feature Kensington’s three core brands – Augusta Ale, Baldwin FishEYE-PA, and Fruit Stand Watermelon Wheat – along with five exclusive brews crafted by Kensington brewmaster Dave Lee together with four partner breweries:
KBCo x Sawdust City The Fundamental
One Malt, One Hop, One determined Yeast: it’s all about Fundamentals. The first offering in The Mental Series from Sawdust City & Kensington Brewing Company, a series that defies styles and is all about creativity.
