Established in 2012
We take our passion beyond beer as well in a quest to ‘Live Indie’. From a spectacular and carefully curated house-made menu to lively events, we’ve turned our creative and individualistic brewing methods into a lifestyle that reflects our mantra of fun-loving independence.
We started off as a small, yet foolhardy bunch in a quaint and – we’ll admit – elementary brewpub located in Toronto’s West End. After several years of refining processes and working with a wonderfully dedicated team of beer lovers, we have been fortunate enough to grow our Junction-located brewpub and bottle shop into a bustling (albeit ambient and welcoming) space. We’ve also opened up a second brewing space, tasting room and bottle shop in partnership with Eataly at the heart of downtown Toronto. We’re grateful for how far we’ve come and we have no other goals but to keep on making bold beer and continue to serve excellence.
The bottom line is - we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to taste, enjoy, and have the choice of better food and better beer. It’s who we are. It’s why we’re here.

Bottle from the brewery, which sadly, just closed. But not gone. Still at Eataly and apparently setting up brewing at the West End icon the Cheese Boutique, if that's even true. Regardless, this anniversary beer, now aged by Indie for two years...Pours a rich copper, with strong pink undertones. Nose of vanilla/oak barrel, strawberry and a little funk. Taste is lighter than I expected, grassy malts, fresh berries, mildly sweet with some light sock funk supporting. Very accessible, and refreshing yet funky.

A murky amber body reminiscent of apple cider topped by a well laced white head. The taste profile leads with citrus hop elements - grapefruit, orange and lemon. Mild bitterness but fresh. Some spice, grain and honey add to mix.

A dense and murky amber/orange body with the density of mulled wine. The nose and taste lead with citrus hops, grass, apricots and caramel. Rich and fresh with medium to mild carbonation.
