20th Anniversary of Cask Days

20 Years of Cask Days

Calling all members - from the O.G. to the newest one - come join us for some fine beer.

Cask Days is a celebration of cask-conditioned beer, naturally carbonated, unfiltered and served straight from the cask. Once tapped, it has only a few days to be enjoyed in its prime. We call them Cask Days.
Join us October 16–18, 2026, at 282 Campbell Ave., the future home of Bottega Volo’s second location. The 20th edition will feature 100+ casks from breweries across Canada, natural wine, great food and music. It all began on the patio of Bar Volo in 2005.

HOW IT WORKS

CASK AVAILABILITY

Cask ale waits for no one. Once tapped, each cask has only a few glorious days at its best—and when it’s gone, it’s gone. We’ll have just one cask of each beer, so if something special has caught your eye, book an earlier session and get to it before the crowd does.

SERVINGS & GLASSWARE

Cask Days is a tasting journey, so every beer is poured in a 5 oz serving. Most pours cost one token, while specialty and stronger ales cost two. Your official Cask Days 2026 mug is included with your ticket and is yours to keep and reuse throughout the festival.

FOOD & DRINK TOKENS

Tokens are your festival currency, good for cask ales and food at every session. Each token is worth $3.75 plus tax, and Session 1–4 tickets include 4x tokens to get you started. Need more? Tokens will be available for purchase at the event. Tokens are non-refundable.

WHAT IS CASK ALE?

Before metal kegs, CO₂, and refrigeration, beer was served as cask-conditioned ale. Unlike most beer, cask ale continues fermenting in the cask until just before it's poured, creating its naturally gentle carbonation. Before serving, the cask is vented to release excess gas and the yeast settles to the bottom. The result is a beer that's lightly carbonated, served at cellar temperature, and exceptionally fresh, with vibrant flavour and character. Once tapped, a cask is best enjoyed within just a few days. We call those days, Cask Days.

Their website has a lot of FAQ's.

Hope to see a lot of members there.
