Courtney Hearts Craft #2: Roundhouse Craft Beer Fest

This weekend I went to my first craft beer festival and it was amazing. The weather wasn't great - we went from overly hot, and humid, to wet and rainy, but it didn't stop anyone in the crowd from having a good time.

The festival was put on by Steamwhistle in Toronto outside of their brewery in Roundhouse Park. This location is perfect because while there is lots of room for the vendors to spread out it was easy for the group I went with to find each other without even having to text.

I tried as many different breweries as possible, even if it just meant a taste from a friend, and I still couldn't get around to everything. In total I had a taste of 13 different beers. I liked everything I tried but these were my favourites:
