| - My friends and I were visiting Toronto from Miami, and we received multiple recommendations from locals to try Mill Street. We ended up staying HOURS, and we loved it. We had some trouble telling where the brewery, beer pub, and beer hall end, so I apologize if I'm confusing places in my description!
We started out getting a table for dinner, but when the server informed us that the last brewery tour was set to start in 15 minutes, we got our nachos to go and ran into the tour! The tour was really interesting -- if you've ever done a tour at a large brewery like Budweiser, you may find it really impressive how a small brewery does the process. We learned all about it, from Maggie, who said it was her last day. So sad --- she was amazing!
Then we were ushered into the Beer Hall for our flights, included in the $10 for the tour! We got 4 small-but-not-that-small glasses of different beers, which were each explained one at a time. My personal favorite was the ginger one, but they were all great. We also purchased an IPA after that Maggie had recommended that had something like 3-4 times the usual amount of hops! It was tasty and not as bitter as I expected. We had a different server at our next table, who we occasionally had to flag down. Food-wise, we got the duck wings (so saucy and delicious) and a watermelon salad (very refreshing!).
Afterward, we wandered back into the gift shop, where we inquired about the pint glass that the menu states comes with the tour. Maggie told us that that wasn't correct, so we purchased some souvenirs in the store. I thought things were really nicely priced. I got a Mill Street tee for my husband, and a tank that was on sale for $6 for me! We also bought a Seasonal Sampler 6-pack to go.
Overall, we had a great time. I would recommend the tour!!
