This looks stellar. Looking forward to having some great drinks with friends.

The idea of showing up with a cocktail passport to all of the venues that participated, was brilliant! Great to see ideas like this going from concept to reality! Great job everyone behind Peeled and looking forward to next year's edition.

It's about time Calgary had a great Cocktail Festival like this
