Beer lovers are also in for a treat this weekend, as the 6th annual Golden Tap Awards will be taking place on Saturday at beerbistro. This event honours the best in Ontario's craft brewing scene, with awards being given based on votes cast over the past couple of months on the Golden Taps website, and beers from many of the nominated breweries will be available to sample alongside lots of tasty treats from the beerbistro kitchen.
