| - No matter the season, Bellwoods Brewery is a bit magical. In the fall and winter, the lights are low and you can sit up in a lofted seating area, overlooking happy diners and the inner workings of the microbrewery. In spring and summer, their white picket fence patio is the cutest thing and hottest spot in the world. It's so cute, you wonder why it hasn't been done more before or been made mandatory along Ossington Strip.
On a more recent visit, we had great success with our ordering! My sister is pescatarian, so between the two of us we demolished a ceviche, cheese plate, rye berry salad, heirloom tomato and halloumi salad, and a corn on the cob. Loved every bite, save for one overdressed salad. Hey, it happens. The presentation was summer indulgence on a plate across the board.
Service is very personable and efficient in my experience. A couple times that I've been, we did receive a twinge of seriousness from the kitchen. The first time, my friend asked for the herbed fries on a plate instead of in a bowl and got denied. The second time, my sister and I asked if they'd cut the massive corn on the cob in half and again, they were not down. All not a big deal, but worth nothing that ordering is likely not going to be a two-way street. Lovely staff though, and one did recommend that it's significantly easier to get a patio spot when you're just a twosome. The quote was something like, "don't bring all your friends". Keep it chill, guys.
For beers, I usually fare light so I am a big fan of the Cat Lady IPA and the Wiazard Wolf pale ale. Oosh, I can't get enough of their beer glasses and branding. Even the descriptions on the menu sing to me.
Come sail away at Bellwoods Brewery!
