In honour of the bicentennial commemorations of the War of 1812, Toronto craft beer bar C'est What has announced a Bicentennial Brewing Challenge for this year’s edition of the Summer Festival of Craft Breweries, which will take place on June 22nd and 23rd during Ontario Craft Beer Week. According to the official announcement, breweries are being asked to create "beer that derives significant flavour characteristics from adjuncts" that would have been commonly used in local brewing 200 years ago. More specifically: Brewers are encouraged to use ingredients likely to have been in the Toronto gardens of the early 19th century. So, the use of herbs and root vegetables are encouraged. Things like coriander, licorice, caraway seeds, ginger, honey, and pumpkin would certainly have found their way into a brew, or two, in 1812.
