" My wife and I are relatively
new to Toronto and we love beer so this tour was perfect for us.
We got the brewing history of Toronto, we saw parts of the city
we were not aware of, sampled some fine brews, learned more about
our favourite beverage and met some very nice people. The Beer Lover's
Tour of Toronto made for an absolutely terrific day. Thanks Oliver
and crew!"
