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.
