About
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.

Caribru IPA from Junction Craft Brewing
1 year ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
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.

Junction Brakeman's Session Ale from Junction Craft Brewing

6.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
500 ml can from the lcbo, bottle says 4.5%. Clear copper pour, medium frothy white head. Biscuity, cracker malts, and some tame grassy hops. Soft carb, soft mouth feel. Quite a bitter finish, a little astringent, the bitterness really lingers, with a floral, grassiness. A nice session ale, but a little too bitter to be 100% sessionable.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can from the lcbo. Clear golden pour, medium white head. Aroma is very grassy, some good pale cereals. Crisp clean mouth feel, perfect carb. Finish is quite bitter, with loads of grassy and subtle spice. This is super clear and crisp and incredibly refreshing. Great kolsch, love the bitterness, with zero sweetness. Awesome.

On tap at the beerbistro
Really nice piney, citrusy aroma. Great malts, bready, earthy.
A perfect balance. Medium bitterness, great citrucy finish. Top shelf amber ale. Reminds me of what mill street tankhouse used to be.

Junction Hazy IPA from Junction Craft Brewing

6/10
Fairly juicy brew. Mildly sweet malt, overlayed with citrus, some tropical fruits, resin hops and.... bitterness. Far too much bitterness. Just dominates the finish on this beer. You can see what they were hoping for, but man they just didn't pull out of the dive on this one. Can from the LCBO.

Junction Pilsner from Junction Craft Brewing
5 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Pours a fairly clean, light-golden colour with a big creamy-frothy warm cap, good retention and leaving some nice full creamy lacing. Spicy Saaz hops over cereal malts for aromas. The hops in the taste really stand out, creating some bitterness and a dry finish. This cuts the sweetness of the malts. A pretty hoppy Pilsner.

Junction Hazy IPA from Junction Craft Brewing
5 years ago
7.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Pretty hazy golden-yellow colour with a frothy slight off-white cap, good stay and light foam lacing. Fairly grassy aromas from the hops with some citrus zest notes. Some particles start floating around. The mouthfeel is juicy, but a big dry-spicy finish happens quickly. Freshly zested citrus peel bitterness in the taste. The base is juicy, but the hops take control all-around, so based on NEIPA, but really a good hazy IPA with bite.
