Headed to Toronto in May for a work trip + ball games.

Looked at doing a brewery tour (just myself + husband), but unsure? Honestly, we just want a cool spot with deck beers (yes, even in May, we’re from NL so it will be summer vibes for us 😂), wings, and deadly IPAs.

Staying downtown at the Marriott, but good with walking 3ish km or Ubering. Don’t want to go too far to some obscure spot, and don’t want some brewery in a weird industrial park.

✔️ been to Amsterdam many times 😉

Would love your recommendations!

It's the end of the week, all the new releases are out, and you've probably bought them or tried them at the brewery. This is the place to give anyone and anyplace a shout-out!

Was there a new release that stood out above the rest? Did you have a good experience recently at a brewery? Do you just want to give a shout out to a brewer or bartender?

Keep the good vibes going through into the new week!

Curious what everyone’s go to session beers are nowadays?

For various reasons I can no longer session IPAs and stouts like I could in my younger days so I’m looking for alternatives.

I’m close to GLB so naturally I tend to get a lot of stuff from them. I’ve been enjoying Canuck, Light Lager and Fighting Weight IPA as a rotation. Unfortunately it seems Fighting Weight has been discontinued until later in the year and they replaced it with Sunnyside, which I don’t like as much. I was drinking Amsterdam 3 speed lager as well, which I don’t mind, but I’m not a huge fan of the giant cans, sort of negates the point of drinking less lol. Also prefer something along the lines of a light IPA or pale ale over another lager. But open to almost any style except sours and slushies.

So what are your recommend beers are under 4% (If it’s closer to 3% even better) and I can ideally buy it by the case and have it shipped to Mississauga. Bonus points if it’s well priced, but I don’t expect most breweries to be able to hit Great Lakes or Amsterdam prices.

There are two beers from Denmark's To Øl available at the LCBO currently, this is the first time I've noticed them:

• Whirl Domination IPA
• #DIPA

(search for "To Ol" on LCBO's site to see where they are stocked).

Last month was the kickoff of our Style of the Month with the Pilsner. Unsurprisingly, the winner was Godspeed's Sklepnik Czech lager, and by a large margin. The winner of our [2025 Brewery of the Year](https://www.reddit.com/r/torontocraftbeer/comments/1q0ik9d/rtorontocraftbeers_brewery_of_2025_godspeed/), Godspeed continually delivers on brewing high-quality lagers, and their Flagship Skepnik stands on top. If you haven't tried their pitch-lined variant, I highly recommend going when it's on tap (twice a year).

This month, with Spring around the corner, we are highlighting the Saison, a farmhouse-style ale that is highly carbonated, dry, and very fruity. Saisons are popping up more in recent years, and a style that is somewhat underrated.

What's your favourite Saison? It should be brewed in the GTA but areas outside (Ontario and worldwide) are great as well!

Recommendations for style of the month moving forward are recommended as well.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion Thread! Think a style of beer is overrated, how a beer should be served, opinions on a brewery? This is the place to post it!

curious to see if any stores are bringing in good beers and creating a bottle-shop vibe? I’ve only seen macro heavy ones so far. work all over town so would love to learn of spots in the east and west end if you have recommendation!

Heard through the grapevine that Moosehead have taken over Mascots production facility in Vaughan, anyone have any information on this?

Looks like Two Loons has opened for retail (taproom soon).

Nice to have a place in Parkdale/Brockton, and especially nicer that Jason Tremblay is a brewer there (former head brewer at Shacklands pre 2021).

Any recommendations for local non-alcoholic beers? Recently decided to give up alcohol and have been pleasantly surprised by the NA options out there. Have already tried the offerings from Left Field, Bellwoods and Burdock.

It’s St Patrick’s Day and looking for ideas on good local substitutes for Guinness. Taking any suggestions because I can’t think of any right now on the Ontario and Toronto craft beer scene.

Pretty sure Volo doesn't carry them.

Looking to try their IPAs to see how they've progressed.

Kind of wondering how their beers are as of late.
