| - STOP EVERYTHING and go to Bellwoods right now for the Frambizzle! The fruitiest, most raspberry-filled and most delicious summer beer in the existence and history of all of mankind. That's right folks, the most scrumptious beer ever to be made can be found right here in our homeland on the lovely Ossington strip.
Bellwoods Brewery, it seems you are officially turning me into a beer girl.
The craft beers here are made in small batches and the menu is constantly changing and rotating, which means if you want the frambizzle you need to go now. I've had the most amazing fruity girly beers here, containing elements of peach, hibiscus, coconut and lime. But last night's brew was hands down my favourite.
Why 5 stars? Previously my relationship with BB existed on a patio basis, but last night as we waited in line a spot on the mezzanine became available. My beau and I took it, even though our hearts had been set on the patio, and I am so glad we did. From up there we could see the vats, the dining room, the patio, the bartenders as they poured pint after pint. I actually hadn't realized how much fits into this place before.
I've never even had the food here, side from some almonds drowning in honey and cayenne (YUM!), but there are a few menu items that look amazing. Perhaps I shouldn't go forward with the five, but I can't help it. I have such a nice time when I come here. This place just makes me really happy.
The other great thing about Bellwoods is you can buy their beer. Forgetting the name of my fave drink, I hurriedly rushed to the retail side to buy my new bevvy. "Tell me you have the razzmatazz!?" I said, frantically. "I believe you mean the Frambizzle," he said. Indeed I did! But alas, that's a new beer and it's not being bottled until this weekend. As fate may have it, it seems I will be back at BB within the next couple of days.
