Great shoot this morning at @sharp_knifeshop - cannot wait to tell their story in upcoming ‘Handcraft Issue.’ Look out for it next month. #knifeporn

Did you know that an entrepreneur in Hamilton’s just birthed a Canadian watch company?!? Are you as excited as we are about this fantastic anecdote?? And they’re AUTOMATIC timepieces too! Look out for our feature with Ryan Moran and his @lockeandking in upcoming ‘Handcraft Issue.’ It’s gonna be good. #tickticktick

Today we had the incredible pleasure of spending time with famed Japanese calligrapher Noriko Maeda at her Waterloo home. Look out for full feature in our upcoming ‘Handcraft Issue’ - due out some time in November. #makersgonnamake

While ‘The Food Issue’ may be out of stock now

While ‘The Food Issue’ may be out of stock now (unless you manage to find a rogue copy or two somewhere), good food is always easy to find around our region. Last night, Denis of @lafontanaelora treated the TOQUE team to a dreamy evening in the restaurant’s backyard riverside oasis. It didn’t disappoint!! Feast your eyes on these dishes, and then book with La Fontana for your own excursion around exquisite locally-grown, locally-crafted food and drink. #nomnom

And so it begins all over again. Wouldn’t trade

And so it begins all over again. Wouldn’t trade this gig for the world! Stock of our most recent issue - ‘The Food Issue’ - is nearly depleted, and scheming for our next one - ‘The Handcraft Issue’ - has just now begun. The opportunities are endless. Catch them when you can! #printisnotdead

Christmas came early! Grab your copies at @marketfreshguelph @vincenzoswaterloo @elorabrewingcompany @royalcitybrew @wellingtonbrewery @longosmarkets (Guelph) @schreiters_home and more locations by later today - and many more locations by next week.

A couple nights back we toured the patio scene in the DTK. Check out what we got up to in upcoming ‘Food Issue’ - due out late July. #nomnom

Stopped by @wellingtonbrewery this aft to watch as brewmaster Marvin Dyck got to crafting some of the brewery’s new Sparkling Hop Water. Zero carbs. Zero calories. Zero alcohol. Great refreshing hoppy taste! Look out for a feature in our upcoming ‘Food Issue’ - due out mid July! #drinklocal

Always amazed by the fantastically-tasty things that @1ponderousmind comes up with. This arancini (with cured lemon-infused aioli) and burratini (with @elorabread crostini) pairs beautifully with a stein of Borealis Citra Pale Ale and simply blows the mind. It’s so great to have Chef Ryan back in the region - heading up the @elorabrewingcompany kitchen. So many tasty visits to enjoy all summer long! #nomnom

Today’s the day! Make sure to book your local patio ASAP. We’re out here enjoying @thewoolypub - where’s your first patio stop? #eatlocal

Wanna know a great way to spend any Tuesday afternoon? Hanging with Wes Klassen of @purpleteethconsulting - wine sommelier extraordinaire and all-round ‘fun guy.’ Look out for our piece in a handful of wine experts in upcoming ‘Food Issue’ - to be released some time in July! #printisnotdead

That time we visited Backpeddling in the Guelph Ju

That time we visited Backpeddling in the Guelph Junction to find out what the staff was jazzed about! It’s bike season, y’all! So get out and pedal hard. And look out for our inaugural ‘Cabin Fever’ issue launching this Wednesday - a perfect remedy for the COVID blahs.

Unfortunately timely. Just as our aptly-named next

Unfortunately timely. Just as our aptly-named next mag, ‘The Cabin Fever Issue,’ was sent to the printer, the province announces another shutdown. Stay strong, folks. And hang in there, small business. We see you. We support you. We love you. Look out for the new mag especially at grocery stores like @vincenzoswaterloo @marketfreshguelph @dundurnmarket @longosmarkets but also at our brewery partners like @fixed_gear_brewing @wellingtonbrewery @royalcitybrew @drinkredcircle @grainandgritbeer @fairweatherbeer @elorabrewingcompany and more. And other places that are still able to let people in. Frequent these businesses. Shop at them. Support them, as they continue to support our communities.
