Description
Calling West Toronto's Junction neighbourhood home, founders Tom Paterson and Doug Pengelly started Junction Craft Brewery (JCB) in 2011 with a mission to create the highest-quality, hand-crafted beers. Since that time the brewery has grown and expanded its product offering adding great new styles and brands available across the province.

In 2018 the business moved to its current home located in a former City of Toronto 1930's art-deco incinerator, affectionately known as 'The Destructor". Decommissioned in the 80's, used for raves in the 90's and beautifully restored in 2018, the award winning heritage building is the perfect spot to enjoy a part of Toronto's past, hangout in our intimate yet spacious taproom, grab a brewery tour and of course sample great, fresh beer.

In 2019 JCB continued its expansion adding St. Mary Axe and socially responsible beer brand Caribru to its family of products.

This Hazy IPA poured alike pineapple juice. Cloudy, medium yellow colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include cooked veggies, pineapple and citrus hops of orange and lemon. First swig was quite nice. Flavours of citrus, pineapple, cream, hay and cooked veggies. Finish is hoppy but not intrusive with pineapple flavour and hop flavour lingering.

This pils poured a hazy, light yellow colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include corn, dough, minimal citrus, a little hay and a splash of perm solution.

Can from the LCBO. Hazy yellow pour, with a medium white head. Aroma has a nice tropical fruit softness, with some light citrus oils, and some grass. Malts are subtle, but present a light balance. Mouth feel is standard, with a lively carb. Finish is medium bitter, nice cereals, light cracker, grassy, and lemon zesty in the end with a hint of mango.

Very bready, and loads of pale malts. with quite a bit of grassy pungent hops. Herbaceous, with hints of mint, and pine. Soft mouth feel and carb, with a pithy citrus bitterness. Quite sessionable, a very British ipa.
