The BEER Hall

Picnic tables galore—120 of them—surrounded by the buzz of festival energy. Whether you’re sipping, snacking, or just spectating, it’s the perfect place to relax, mingle, and eavesdrop on some very serious beer debates.

Classic Arcades

Classic arcade consoles await! Relive the glory days of SNES, NES, PlayStation, and Sega—because nothing says “festival fun” like trash-talking friends over a 16-bit showdown.

The BrewBus Shuttle

We’ve teamed up with the BrewBus—your very own festival chariot—looping nonstop from the Enercare Centre TTC and GO stops straight to Hall D. Skip the walk, skip the stress, and hop on like the VIP you are. Seats are first come, first served… so don’t be fashionably late!

🍺 Beer Pong Arena

Where legends are made and cups disappear. 

Grab a ball, grab a beer, and immediately realise you’re not as accurate as you thought. Challenge your friends, sink a few cups, miss a lot, and talk trash anyway. Open all festival long, bragging rights not guaranteed.
