London To Celebrate Beer And BBQ

London can look forward to a delicious weekend.

The fourth annual Beer and BBQ Show is coming to the Western Fair District on Friday, bringing enticing delicacies and good times to the Forest City. The three-day show promises BBQ delights in a variety of styles and flavours, as well as a number of beers and other drinks.

The event's director of sales, Kelly Marshall, says there's nothing better than beer and barbecue.

"Four years ago we saw that there was a need for a celebration of craft beer in the City of London. There's a been a variety of craft beer breweries that have opened up in the region, and [this is] a great way to showcase them all under one roof."

Along with the typical food and drink, big names in the business will be in attendance to give tips in seminars and demonstrations.

"We have a huge array of craft breweries from all over Ontario as far out as Ottawa all the way down to Windsor," says Marshall. "There will be well over 200 different beers to sample at the show, and it's a great opportunity for beer connoisseurs to come out and try different samples without having to make that commitment at the beer store."

More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the show, Marshall says.

The event will be hosted in the Metroland Media Agriplex from Friday, June 17 to Sunday, June 19. For information on ticket prices and event times, click here.
