Because a bit of social distancing can go a long way. Happy springtime, friends! (And a massive thank you to our forever friend @elorabrewingcompany for the collab release - a juice bomb pale ale that’ll keep you company during these tenuous times.) Stay safe, stay distanced, and stay healthy. #friendsforever

Hey friends. During these times of high anxiety an

Hey friends. During these times of high anxiety and stress, we’re here to give you a little something that might alleviate the pressure - if for only a little while. Today we launch ‘The Comfort Issue.’ We are actively distributing to our usual pick-up locations and businesses. Above all, please abide by the recommended health precautions. If you are healthy and venturing out, many small businesses are still open, would love to see your smiling faces, and are actively taking steps to maintain a high level of cleanliness and minimize risk wherever possible. That said, with the current health concerns from COVID19, we wanted to share some additional options that TOQUE has implemented to help #flattenthecurve:

1. The Comfort Issue will be available in our online store to ‘purchase’ and be shipped direct you. That is, issues will be sold free-of-charge. The buyer only pays for shipping.
2. We’ve increased our circulation (the number of magazines we print) to ensure more folks can get their hands on one of these. So if you read our magazine in a coffee shop, plan on taking it with you - no need to leave it or share it with the next person.

If none of these options work for you, please get in touch! And take some comfort.

Got what we came for! Oh – and we’re dropping in

Got what we came for! Oh - and we’re dropping in #Hamont today too! Pick up our inaugural regional directory at places like @dundurnmarket @donutmonsterhamilton @mulberrycoffee @meritbrewing @grainandgritbeer @fairweatherbeer and more spots!

Ever wish there was a comprehensive guide to our r

Ever wish there was a comprehensive guide to our region? A curated publication that might offer suggestions for (and directions to) the coziest taprooms, loftiest restaurants, and choicest clothiers? A veritable compendium of cool that could tell you, with some authority, where to eat, drink, snack, shop, play, relax, and have a great time when you’re scouting about our communities? Ya – us too. So we made one. And, lucky for you, you can snag a copy. So clutch it close. Put your name in it. Visit it often. And let this little red book guide you to local destinations we’ve deemed well worth the trip. Mind you, we do not pretend that this directory is exhaustive. Indeed, it would be almost impossible to list everything awesome that our region has to offer. But it’s a starting point. And a great one, at that. A resource that will get you started by helping point you in the right direction and sending you on your way. A tool for adventure and discovery. Your own portable daytripper. Now get on the hunt. In the words of Mark Twain, ‘throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.’ #printisnotdead
