10 Best Breweries in Mississauga

"As soon as Bellwoods Brewery opened its doors on Ossington Ave. in 2012 it was an instant hit. The small brewery has a roster of staple beers in constant production, but they’re also steadily experimenting with tons of other beers so there’s always something new to try or buy to take home from the bottle shop. The creative menu serves seasonal fare in the form of snacks, salads and a few larger entrees, depending on what you’re in the mood for."

"Bellwoods Brewery is regularly in the discussion for one of the best breweries in Toronto. Jerry from Four Columns of a Balanced Life:. “Mike Clark and Luke Pestl do not like to be called ‘Brewmaster’."

"The city’s oldest independent brewer, Amsterdam has been serving up craft beers to Torontonians since 1986, well before craft was a “thing.” Now, 30 years later, they’ve got a brewery in Leaside, a harbourfront restaurant on Queens Quay, and a loyal following that goes back decades. Here’s to another 30 years. Try: The Boneshaker IPA, an unfiltered strong beer that’s got taste to match."

"The Brewhouse is Toronto’s largest waterfront craft brewery and restaurant. With four large outdoor patios, rotating seasonal taps, and landscape views of the lake, there’s plenty to enjoy at this restaurant patio. Sip creative craft beer creations like the Space Invader IPA, while taking in the views under a patio umbrella."

"Amsterdam Brewhouse has a patio in Toronto that rivals the best. The brewhouse is an impressively large space with a waterfront view on all sides. The beer is what it is about for most patrons."

"Toronto’s stalwart brewery has grown by leaps and bounds since its founding in 2000, evolving from the passion project of three laid-off brewery workers to a Downtown destination that now includes its own biergärten and restaurant along with a working brewery. Sitting in the shadow of the CN Tower, the biergärten patio has become a landmark in its own right: a place to try the brewery’s iconic pilsner alongside a menu of European- and Canadian-inspired drinking foods, such as soft pretzels with mustard made from the brewery’s beer, and, of course, poutine, topped with the requisite chicken gravy and cheese curds as well as double-smoked bacon and caramelized onion mayo. Dining at the restaurant: While the biergärten is currently closed, Steam Whistle has announced plans to reopen patio seating when restrictions allow, as well as a fireside dining option where diners can book private dinners for up to six guests focused on a menu of items cooked over wood-fired grills."

"2 A litre stein of cold beer on a hot day will surely work up an appetite, and the culinary team at the newly opened Steam Whistle Biergarten has the answer. The star of the sausage-and-schnitzel-heavy menu is a whole roasted pork hock, its skin bronzed and crackly and ridiculously easy to pull apart on the way to unearthing gloriously juicy meat. It’s served bone-in on a bed of roasted German potatoes, and it’s enough to feed you and a couple of friends over another round or two on the patio in the shadow of the CN Tower."

"This Bloordale brewery’s genre-bending wine-beer hybrids taste like pure genius in a glass. Yes, the three-year-old establishment co-owned by Jason Stein and Matthew Park also makes inventive pilsners and saisons and Berliner weisses, which are always available, but it’s the inspired small-batch creations we’re talking about here—like the Ruby, a gorgeous, gem-coloured blend of saisons aged in barrels with sour cherries and cabernet franc skins, and blended with riesling from Ontario’s Pearl Morissette winery. It’s the perfect showcase for the brewery’s terroir-driven approach to beermaking."

"Burdock Brewery is far from your conventional brewery, which is why it lands on a list of the best bars in Toronto. The owners aren’t just interested in beer, but also in wine, cider and the whole works. In fact, if you’ve visited, you’ll know that they’re often blending their passions, quite literally (apparently beerwine and beercider are things)."

"21 Doughnut aficionados no longer have to make the pilgrimage to this Hamilton-based bakery for their yeast-risen rings, now that the brand has a booth at Stackt, Toronto’s new shipping container market. The selection changes daily, but their roster of rotating flavours has included lavender-lemon, blood-orange hibiscus, raspberry-habanero and the #Hamont Cream-Filled, Donut Monster’s take on the beloved Boston Cream. There is no wrong choice."

"This is one of our all-time favourite spots to hang in the city. Not only is there plenty of room for kids and pets to run around, but you can also enjoy great eats and drinks at their three patios. Depending on your mood you can either grab food from the various vendors on-site or enjoy a sit-down experience."

"Parkdale is home to Duggan’s Brewery, led by Michael Duggan who happens to be Canada’s most award-winning brewmaster over the last 15 years. They’re constantly brewing small batches of seasonal beers, but some on the regular roster include an Irish stout, German Pilsner, raspberry Weiss, hefeweizen and an American Pale Ale. Enjoy your beer in the expansive restaurant with a menu that changes seasonally, but is comprised of pub favourites like nachos and wings and smaller snacks to share."

"When Mill Street Brewery co-founder Mike Duggan set out on his own in 2007, beer lovers followed, and the award-winning brewmaster’s latest venture certainly hasn’t disappointed. You can find Duggan’s new signature classics on LCBO shelves, and its rotating lineup of specialty beers in house at the Parkdale brewery. Try: The No. 9 IPA, Duggan’s hallmark pale ale."

"This cozy French bistro in the heart of Yorkville focuses on dishes from the South of France, and there are far worse things to focus on, in our opinion. Chabrol refers to the French practice of adding a splash of wine to the last spoonfuls of soup to draw out a meal (which is a genius idea that we are going to start incorporating into our own eating regimes). Expect cheeses, perfect sauces and succulent meats."

"With floor to ceiling windows, marble tables, elegant crystal chandeliers, this Yorkville Avenue gem will sweep you both off your feet!. On the menu expect options like cheese boards, salads, fresh seafood and meat, and desserts made to order. Be sure to plan ahead and make reservations seating is especially limited intimate."
