TORONTO, ON – We’re just a few days away from the The Rhino Fall Beer & Cider Festival – co-presented by Canadian Beer News & Canadian Cider News at The Rhino (1249 Queen St. W., Toronto) on Sunday October 27th – and for those who are still undecided on attending, we’ve got a couple of things that might do some convincing.
First of all, the full – and very impressive – list of beers and ciders that will be available at the event has been announced. 32 beers and 11 ciders will be available from the 10 breweries and 7 cideries that will be there to pour in person, and an additional 26 beers will be served from the Rhino bar and multi-tap station. To see the full list, visit the official event page.
If that’s still not enough to tempt you, how about free tickets? We’ve got several pairs of VIP tickets to give away, with the winners receiving early admission at 12:00 noon, an appetizer buffet, a souvenir tasting glass, and 5 sample tickets.
There are two ways to enter the contest:
- Leave a comment below mentioning the cider or beer that you are most looking forward to trying at the Festival. Please use your full real name and email address (the latter won’t be published publicly) so we can contact you if you win.
- Post the following on Twitter: “I want to win tickets to @TheRhinoBar Fall Beer & Cider Festival from @cdnbeernews & @cdncidernews – http://bit.ly/GJpv3G”.
Four pairs of tickets will be awarded – two in each part of the contest – with winners being selected at random from all entries received by 2:00 PM on Friday October 25th. Winners will be notified on Friday afternoon, and will have tickets issued and provided via email. Winners and guests must be 19 years of age or older.
