This year we’re excited to add three brand new (to us!) food vendors to the show:
– Squeaky Beaver Poutine
Legendary loaded poutine. Crunchy fries, cheese curds, awesome gravy, then all the fun things on top.
– Project.doughnut
Doughnuts like you’ve never seen before. All handmade, all delicious.
– Castle Rock
Yep, that’s right. As usual, we are taking the opportunity to showcase the talent we have in-house! This year Marc, head chef at the Embankment, will be serving up mouth watering burgers, quite possibly the ultimate pairing to all beers. Meat, veggie and vegan available.
We’ll be running brewery tours throughout the Yard Party, and they’re free! Tours are a great way to experience hands-on brewing. Hear our stories, stroll behind the scenes, see the pumping beery heart of who we are. Tour numbers are limited, so it’s first come first served, and tours will leave on time! We’ll let you know all the details soon…
Will be open as usual to all customers, including those not attending the Yard Party.
As always, they will have tasty snacks and cobs on offer, as well as a fully decked out bar featuring even more beer, cider, spirits and soft drinks.
Yard Party attendees will have a wrist band and so can go wherever they please, however those without won’t be able to enter the Yard Party.
USEFUL INFO
BAR PAYMENT:
The Yard Party bar accepts cash and card, however card is preferable.
DIRECTIONS FROM THE TRAIN STATION:
Exiting the front of the train station, you’ll see a ginormous building to your left. Head towards that and look for the blue tower peeking out – that’s us! Head down the hill and you’ll be there in no time. Just a hop, skip and jump away from the station, tram stop and Carington St bus stops.
PARKING:
Due to all the investment going on in this area of the city, parking spots are few and far between. Your best bet is to use public transport or get a taxi, but, if you need to drive, two multistoreys are located 5 minutes away off Canal Street.
TOILETS:
There are multiple toilet facilities on site, including an accessible toilet.
