I was terrified when this microbrewery got too big for its downtown location at King and Portland and said it was moving. It was placed collinearly between my workplace at the time and my home, affording me the ability to get beer uninterruptedly on my way home after a hard days work. I was also concerned that if they went larger, we'd miss out on the craft-brew taste that I'd grown to love. Thankfully that's not the case.
The new location on Bathurst just north of Lakeshore is a much larger variation on the old theme: Make good beer and make it affordable. They still do just that. Having lost the restaurant that they had at the King Street location, they are able now to focus solely on the beer. The larger venue has afforded them the ability to make more and get a larger circulation of their product. Thankfully as well, the taste and flavour of the beer has not suffered in the least, and the beers taste just as they did when I swung by looking for some liquid happiness after being mauled by the office. The location is not all bad for me either now as it's on the way to and from my favourite grocery store, so now I'm able to get cases of beer instead of sixes.
Make sure you try the 25 bottles for $29.95 special that they run. There are two or three different types that are available in 25-packs so check the chalkboard when you go in. It's a great way to get great tasting beer that's competitive with the buck-a-beer breweries. So how do they serve up 25 beers in a box? They take a regular case of 24 and stuff it in the top. I love ingenuity.
