YOU BETTER BELIEVE WE ARE DOWN FOR SOME

BOARD GAMES

THIS WEDNESDAY MAY 16th!

The Deets: BYOBG (Bring your own Board Game) to the brewery on Wednesday May 16th from 6:30-9:30 pm, and we’ll order the pizza and beer.

$10.00 at the door gets you 4 drink tokens and pizza! If you are the designated driver, then it is $5 for pizza!

As always, we’re accessible via the TTC and would be happy to call you a cab at the end of the night. Please do not drink and drive.

THIS WILL BE FUN. YOU SHOULD COME!

Cheers!

Have you been thirsty lately? Did the early summer weather whet your appetite for a double IPA that is a perfect balance between caramel malt body and hop bitterness? Does the aroma of pine and citrus keep you up at night? Are you wondering how Ken has embodied all the hard work of a decade of survival in the craft beer industry into a single beer?

Wonder no longer. 10 Bitter Years is back. Voted as Canada’s Best Imperial IPA and available for purchase at our Brewery for a limited time only.

Would you like to try our beer?

The $20 at the door will include our award-winning beer and (as always) delicious catered food.

Join Toronto’s craft beer community for this great cause in March!

There are two types of people in this world…

1) Those that eagerly await Valentine’s Day through the dark days of winter, and, 2) Those that are coaxed into romantic dates against their will.

No matter what type of person you are, we’ve got the Valentine’s Day Party for you!  Bring your sweetie (or beer drinkin’ buddies) to Black Oak on Saturday February 18th from 5 to 9 pm. There won’t be any expensive flowers or cheesy music, but there will be plenty of craft beer and local organic food.

We’re joining forces with the Chocosol team to create BEER-CHOCOLATE floats, followed by fresh Ontario corn tortillas stuffed with Double Chocolate Cherry Stout Mole – perfect to satisfy all sorts of cravings.  Wash down the goodness with one-off casks and special kegs, and a possible visit from craft-beer-cupid.

As always our parties cost $20.00 at the door – we’re accessible via the TTC or GO Bus and we’ll gladly call you a taxi at the end of the night.

Since our Winter Warmer Party was sooooo successful (250 people) we’re going to limit the number of attendees to 180 so please email TracyP@blackoakbeer.com to get your name on the guest list.

So bring your lover, your friends or fellow foodies to another great Black Oak party!
