About
Since opening our doors in October 2012, we have been working to bring new and exciting flavourful beers to our community. We like to experiment, be adventurous, and break old traditional brewing rules. As a result, we have made it our mission create a diverse product roster that includes deliciously easy drinking beers that everyone can appreciate as well as hard-to-find ales that leave a lasting impression. We’ve spent years developing a variety of audacious brews that are hoppier, fruitier, aged longer (and in weirder barrels), etc. Let’s put it this way, if we can go overboard on some element of beermaking, we generally will.
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. Hazy amber pour, big white head. Bitter coffee aroma with sharp green hops and crisp cereals. Body and carb are solid yet soft. Finish is bitter, and clean. Slight notes of coffee, cocoa and grass. The vanilla is nowhere to be found.

Tap at barhop.
Hazy yellow pour, small white head. Lovely citrus aroma, lots of graprefruit, and lemon zest, with some pine resins. Mouth feel is a little watery, and the carb is quite soft. The finish is refreshing, and slightly tart, with quite low bitternss that fits the session ipa style. A nice beer, a great daily drinker with some bold flavours,

Cask at the brewpub. Hazy golden pour, small white head. Aroma was subtle, but there, feesh strawberry juice, with some grassy, slightly resinous hops, and some soft pale cereals. The body and mouthfeel were just fine, and the carb was perfect. The finish was juicy, but oh so subtle. But it works so well,mthe citrus comes through amongst some fresh, slightly green strawberry juice. I really liked this!

On tap at the brewpub.
Brewpub had it listed as a flemish sour red.
Pours a dark brown/red with a medium beige head. Aroma is strong, and tart, notes of vinegar, and sour, overly ripe cherries. Mouth feel is thin, carb is also very low. Finish is quite tart, with a strong vinegar character, not totally off putting, but not super inviting either. Not for the craft beer noobs.

Tap at the brewpub. Very light yellow pour, with a tiny white head. Aroma is subtle wheat, light grassy, and the slightest hint of sweet random fruit. Thin mouthfeel, super soft carb. The mango comes through in the finish, but not mjch else. A nice mango flavour is present at the end with a touch of tartness. I expected more.

Tap at the brewpub. Strong woody, vinous qualities from the white wine barrel. Qute yeasty, and bready with slme citrus and leafy green hops. Cereals are there, but a little muted. Medium to high bitter finish, more wood, and quite acidic.

Tap at the brewpub. Light brown, tiny head. Quite a funky aroma, soft spicing from the rye, and some grass, with some lactic notes. A tad thin, and watery, soft carb. Finish is tart, with a lactic funkiness, with alot of tangy fruit, and subtle spices. Odd beer.

Tap at the brewpub. A solid ipa, good hops, some nice citrus and citrus zest. Solid malts to balance. Servicable, nothing to go nuts for but a nice quaff if you are looking for a good ipa.

Tap at the brewpub.
Brown pour, with a small white head. Aroma is quite hoppy, but not uk hops. Subtle pine, with fresh grass. The malts are quite roasty, with a solid bready malt bill. Leaning more towards a brown ale.

Tap at barhop. Big herbal notes, green tea, oolong, maybe some chamomile. Green, juicy hop cones, light grasses, solid lime zest. Medium bitterness, solid herbal notes in the end. Interesting.
