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.

Always doing cool sh*t for killer stories. Thx @thatfemka @michaeloosterveld @lizderedin for joining us on today’s bike adventure from @fixed_gear_brewing to @elorabrewingcompany - read all about it in upcoming ‘Food Issue’.

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

Bottle shops are popping up all over our region - affording consumers great selection outside the LCBO. Look out for our feature of the magnificent @ogbottleshop in Galt in our upcoming ‘Food Issue’ - due out mid-ish July! #drinklocal

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

And other spots too! #printisnotdead #hanginthere #supportlocal

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.

Anyone else not quite ready for spring yet?! Here’s the TOQUE team - us - looking as cool as possible (deliberately averting our gaze from the small point-n-shoot resting on one of Chris’ gloves in a planter) at Blue Mountain last week. May we get at least a few more runs in before we all start sweating on patios - cold ones in hand. Heaven forbid!! Also - look out for our upcoming ‘Cabin Fever Issue’, replete with our adventures at the ski resort, in early April. And one last thing - we’re basically walking billboards for Paramount Sports in this pic. Need killer ski, snowboard and biking duds for any season? Guelph’s Paramount’s your spot! Tell ‘em TOQUE sent you!

Want some great news? Our 2021 enamel mugs are com

Want some great news? Our 2021 enamel mugs are coming soon - and pre-sale is on now! (Check link in bio.) These 5-colour mugs, illustrated by TOQUE’s own Cai Sepulis, are made in Poland of high-quality enamel and ready to hop onto your campfire grill or in your backpack for your next adventure.

Height is 8cm and they hold 11.8oz.

Pre-sale details: mugs will be arriving late-March / early-April and folks who’ve pre-ordered will be notified when they're available for pick-up from our Guelph office (16 Eramosa Rd).

If you require shipping, we currently have a $15 flat rate for Canada (which you can also add on later when they arrive if you decide to do that instead of pick-up).

Been at this game for a minute. Here’s TOQUE Partners @caisepulis and @chris_tiessen shooting for @tastereal at @thatcher_farms at least a couple years before they founded the company together. Craft beer. Photography. Art direction. Local biz advocation. Double fisting (of a different sort). Some things sure haven’t changed. 📸 @thatfemka
