The Old Toronto Beer Tour May 14th, 2008

If you’re looking for a great way to spend Saturday afternoon, please allow me to suggest the Old Toronto Beer Tour…
Did you know that in the late 1800s there were 13 competing breweries in Toronto?
Now that you do, aren’t you wondering what might be left of them? The truth is that there are a couple of brewery façades in the city but you have to know where to look… alternately you’re welcome to join myself or Oliver “the ambassador of beer” Dawson as we guide you through a 6-hour beer tour of Toronto!
During the day, we’ll tell you all about the brewing history of Ontario, starting from the first settlers right through to the craft beer movement of the 80s. We will visit a number of beer landmarks throughout the day. Of course we will also take you on brewery tours and provide guided tastings of many local Ontario Craft Beers. At the end of the day, you are free to either wander the Distillery District, home to the fabulous Mill St. Brewery, or crown the day’s events with a fabulous four-course meal at The Granite Brewery (beer included!).

When we were just starting to look into opening up a brewery, my Dad and I went on this tour. It was great, Oliver was fantastic and I highly recommend this whirlwind tour to anyone looking to start a brewery.

But did they have a keg on the back of the bus? 8-D. Do you have any bus tours coming up Steve?
