Brewery & the Beast celebrates the outdoor roots of the festival by giving chefs free reign to be bold and creative while preparing their exquisite dishes over open fire. More than 60 of the city’s best chefs showcase their culinary talent using the finest fresh ingredients and proteins, including: beef, bison, pork, lamb, goat, wild boar, chicken, elk, rabbit and duck. Traditional and modern techniques that involve live fire cooking will be performed and on display: whole animal roasts, grilling, braising, searing and smoking, just to name a few. All proteins at BATB are ethically and responsibly raised, and sourced from small Canadian farms and ranches who raise their animals with care and transparency.
