The Best Craft Beer Breweries and Brewpubs in Toronto
"Bellwoods Brewery opened up in April of 2012, and is not shy about admitting the hardships of managing their growing brewery because they believe the beer tastes all the better for it. The brewery's popularity comes down to their beers - crisp, fruity pale ales and bold, hoppy IPAs - and they are particularly proud of their imperial stouts, farmhouse ales (saison) and barrel-aged brews. Bellwoods Brewery has won numerous awards from Ratebeer Best, a global community of beer snobs, and the Golden Tap Awards, an annual beer awards events held in Toronto to celebrate Ontario's best craft beer and microbreweries."

Toronto’s Best Craft Breweries
"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."

The Best Craft Beer Breweries and Brewpubs in Toronto
"One of Toronto's oldest craft breweries, Amsterdam BrewHouse opened back in 1986. Today, the brewery operates three locations, the events-only brewery and retail shop in Leaside, the flagship 500-seat BrewHouse on Toronto's coveted waterfront and their newest brewpub, Barrel House. BrewHouse is the most happening of the three, a place where homemade pub grub meets crisp lagers and full-bodied ales brewed right in-house."

"In case you are looking for great night’s fun, Steam Whistle Brewery would be your right choice. It is situated at the base of the CN Tower – which is one of Toronto’s number one tourist destinations and this place gets improved thanks to its kind and friendly employees. Steam Whistle Brewery exists for two decades as well as has managed to earn the title of Canada’s biggest and most popular standalone brewery."

"For so long, Roundhouse Park’s resident brewery made its name on simplicity: it made exactly one product, a refreshing and universally chuggable pilsner, and presented it in a historic – if pared-back – setting. But times have changed, and with them comes a second beer (Steam Whistle Pale Ale) and a gorgeous beer garden complete with the Food Dudes’ German-style eats."

Nightlife Spots That Put the Word 'Entertain' in Toronto's Entertainment District
"Steam Whistle Brewery makes a Canadian pilsner that they are rightfully proud of. This local beer maker is located right near the Roger's Centre and the CN Tower and it is a perfect stop on the Toronto tourism train. Their beer recipe has been exacted using European brewing standards, yet there is a lightheartedness to the company that is all Canadian."

"Burdock has a lot going on – it’s a restaurant, a music hall and it also happens to be brewing some of the best beers in the city. Go to catch some live music or sit down to a meal made with local, seasonal ingredients; but stay for the beer (or grab some to go from the bottle shop). Burdock brewed their first batch of beer in July 2015 and have been going strong ever since."

"Burdock Brewery serves beer, wine and beer-wine.|© Joel Clifton. The Bloor West brewery is one of the most innovative in the country. Some of their most spectacular beers aren’t beers, but beer-wine hybrids; Burdock combines beer and winemaking techniques, like aging in neutral oak barrels, adding splashes of local wine or aging beers on the skins of orange wines."

"Bar Volo has been an institution for the past 30 years so, and they’ve carried their reputation to the new location on Nicholas Street. The biggest attraction here is probably the 26 rotating taps that they have, often with some unique and unusual beers that aren’t widely available at other Toronto bars.

"If you find yourself cruising the Railpath or visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art, stop in at Henderson for a refreshing brew. Best known for its flagship amber ale – appropriately named Henderson’s Best – the brewery is also home to around a dozen seasonal collaborations, like the Society of Beer Drinking Ladies’ blood orange saison. Henderson’s taproom is charmingly industrial with just the right amount of rumpus room kitsch, and while it doesn’t have a kitchen, patrons are welcome to pick up something next door at the Drake Commissary or one of several food trucks often parked outside."
Mentioned by Time Out Toronto
The 15 best Toronto breweries
"What is it: Henderson’s industry veteran co-founders (they used to brew and consult for major brands) bring years of experience to this West End brewery. The monthly Ides series pays homage to Toronto’s history with unique one-off brews. Why go: Part of the Sterling Ave. revitalization (along with the Drake Commissary eatery and brand-new Museum of Contemporary Art), Henderson is helping to turn this up-and-coming neighborhood into a destination."
Mentioned by Sharp Magazine
The 10 Best Craft Breweries in Toronto
"Despite only being founded in 2014, Henderson’s Toronto roots run deep, from its name – an homage to Robert Henderson, the city’s first brewer – to its award-winning Henderson’s Best, a modern reimagining of a classic Toronto bitter. But that’s not all: they also release a new 6ix-inspired beer monthly as part of their limited-edition Ides lineup. Try: Henderson’s Best, a beer that lives up to its name, and then some."

"Radical Road Brewing Co. opened up in 2019 in the up-and-coming hipster neighborhood of Leslieville on Toronto's east side. While they do whip up some interesting creations, like the cucumber-mint kolsch or the yuzu pale ale, the company focuses on brewing suspiciously easy-drinking crowd pleasers, and you won't find anything too outside the box here. Radical Road rents out the premises for private events, and also manages a portable version of their bar known as the Radical Roadster, a mobile, customizable craft beer bar for weddings, corporate parties and the like."

"While nothing’s better than a cold beer on a hot summer day, not all beers are created equal when it comes to beating the heat. Light, low-alcohol kölsches are always a reliable thirst quencher, and this Queen East brewery has devised an ingenious way to up the cooling factor of their version even higher, infusing their cucumber-mint kölsch with a hit of crisp, herbal freshness to create one of the most sweat-slaying sips in the city. 1177 Queen St. E.,647-794-7909, radicalroadbrew.com."

"Save for the giant tanks, drinking at Shacklands feels like hanging in your fave neighbourhood dive bar: the walls are slathered in action figures, the stereo’s playing Matthew Sweet and old cartoons are on a loop on the TV. But instead of Labatt 50, the bar’s pouring a delightful jumble of sours, bretts and fruity blends, courtesy brewer Jason Tremblay."
