Blood Brothers Tier 2 Summary Bottom Line – Strong reputation for a reason. Big menu with good beers, good food and a lot of outdoor space. Blood Brothers was my second stop in Toronto and it was generally what I expected. The menu was a good size and I tried three beers of various styles. […]

Godspeed Tier 2 Summary Bottom Line – Excellent classic Czech beers with a Japanese flair and…German food? Interesting mix but it works. If you want excellent execution of classic beers, make the trip. Godspeed is another I found to be tough to rate. It was their 7th anniversary so they flew in a bunch of

Halo Tier 2 Summary Bottom Line – Fun flavors with a good selection of styles in a small, but nice taproom. Doesn’t hurt having a friendly and helpful bartender. I thoroughly enjoyed my stop at Halo. There’s a cluster of breweries in the “west end” within a couple square miles of each other. Halo was

Rorschach Tier 2 Summary Bottom Line – Brewery that likes to experiment and has a wide variety of offerings. Vibe is cool looking like an old house. Definitely worth going. Rorschach was the first brewery on our Day 2 East End leg. Due to it basically being a converted house, it had a certain charm

Amsterdam Tier 3 Summary Bottom Line – Amazing location and sweet layout with plenty of seating on the water. Good service and decent beer make this an unexpectedly good option.

Eastbound is well situated on the way towards the Eastside breweries from downtown. As I wrote that sentence I realized I understood the name. It’s the

Burdock Tier 4 Summary Bottom Line – A brewery that feels more like a nicer restaurant. Beers were good but menu was limited. Burdock felt more like a nicer restaurant than a brewery. The patio was great and the inside was really nice. But that niceness made it feel less casual. I tried 3 beers

Great Lakes Tier 4 Summary Bottom Line – A well-located taproom. Nothing extremely interesting but good location and solid all around. The Great Lakes Brew taproom near downtown was the only place that worked with our timeline so we checked it out. Not only was the menu a decent size and balance of styles, but

Avling Tier 3 Summary Bottom Line – More a farm-to-table restaurant than a brewery but still making good beers. Great concept to have a garden on the roof and using those ingredients in the food and beer. Avling operates as more than just a brewery on the east side of the city. They are big

Wicked Weed Tier 3 Summary Bottom Line – An OG that still makes good beer, but lacks a really interesting aspect to the brewery experience. A fine place to drink. Wicked weed a little bit of a bad wrap from what I could see because they were one of the early to go big and
