Beertown Public House is kicking off the summer with ‘Smoke and Beers’ – a sizzling series of events happening at Beertown restaurants across Ontario.
These mix-and-mingle events will be headlined by none other than Chef Ted Reader, famously known as ‘The Godfather of the Grill.’ He’ll craft a special menu served across five unique BBQ stations; each paired with craft beer and set to the soundtrack of live music, said the company.

“Summer is all about beer and barbecue,” said Jody Palubiski, CEO of the Charcoal Group of Restaurants, the parent company that operates all Beertown Public House locations. “There’s nothing better than great food off the grill, a cold beer in hand and good company. This is the perfect way to welcome the season.”
The Smoke and Beers tour will hit the following locations:
Newmarket (June 16th)
Cambridge (June 18th)
Guelph (June 23rd)
London (June 25th)
All events will be held at their respective Beertown Public House locations.

Based in Paris, Ontario, Reader is an award-winning chef, cookbook author (with 21 titles to his names), media personality and professor at Niagara College’s Canadian Food and Wine Institute. He also owns more than 75 grills and smokers.
“I’m really excited to partner once again with Beertown,” he said. “We’ve had a great relationship for years, and I can’t wait to fire things up across Southwestern Ontario.”
Tickets are $89 + tax + gratuity and include food and beer pairings.
