Someone from Yelp needs to sort out the reviews on this place -- there are a *LOT* of reviews for the restaurant, which is in a completely different part of town. This is the brewery -- they don't serve food here, unless you consider beer to be a food all on its own.
I haven't been to a ton of breweries in Toronto so far, but this one was definitely one of my favorite brewery tours, although they can be a tiny bit better on announcing when they start. It's pretty busy on a Saturday -- there are a lot of beer tour groups making the rounds. We were just 3 people on our own, and we had arrived a little early. So, we hung out in the store (because the bar was really crowded with the aforementioned group) and waited.
Like I said, we missed the announcement. The bar was suddenly empty. We let the guy behind the bar know, and he was nice enough to take us inside and over to where the tour giver was.
The tour giver was awesome -- funny, really knowledgeable about their product, and actually taught me a few new things, like the date coding on kegs and cases. They showed us a little bit of their new space as well -- things are growing for Amsterdam!
Afterwards, we got to have free samples, and they were quite generous with their pours. I'm really glad we stopped for lunch before we stopped here!
In the bar area, they also have some ping pong and foosball tables, for something to do while you're there. They have a lot of great merchandise in their store, including some rare bottles for purchase.
If you want to try good Toronto beer, make sure you stop by this place for a tour and tasting!
