oronto is a busy place. With restaurants and bars opening and closing everyday, concerts being performed nonstop, and news developing faster than it can be reported, it's hard to stay afloat.

For some of us, the last thing we want to think about on a Monday morning is drinking. For others, the thought of future partying is the only thing that will get us through the longest of all work days. Hopefully you're the latter. This Thursday, Hart House presents a Craft Beer Festival and Summer BBQ (spelling out whole words is for suckers). The ultimate summer event, the beer festival offers samples of various local breweries. Why drink Molson when you can try out Great Lakes Brewery, Cameron's, or Big Rock? The BBQ portion of the event is covered by free snacks to munch on while sipping a microbrew. Then, of course, there's live music outdoors and in the sun (or, more likely, rain). Are you over your Monday yet?
