Brewery Lineup & Dates:
July 3: Avling Brewery –
Avling Brewery is a brewpub located in Leslieville in the East end of Toronto. Our beers are focused on crisp, clean lagers, with a German influence, and experimental sours, which take inspiration from our diverse Canadian landscape.
July 18: Cameron’s Brewing –
Cameron’s Brewing is a family-run craft brewery based in Oakville, Ontario. We began our journey to introduce delicious craft beer to the Ontario marketplace in 1997. What started as a mere hobby quickly turned into an award-winning brewery. Today, we remain true to our roots with a dedicated team of beer experts committed to brewing beer of exceptional taste and quality. We relentlessly pursue the development of new styles and the perfection of our classic ales and lagers using the world’s finest all-natural ingredients. As a brewery, we are both environmentally and socially conscious in our day-to-day practices.
Our award-winning beers have been recognized over 250 times at local, national and worldwide brewing awards. We couldn’t be more proud of our latest achievement, Cruising Through the Galaxy Hazy IPA being named the World’s Best IPA at the 2021 World Beer Awards.
Our products are currently available at The LCBO, Beer Store, Loblaws, Sobeys, and other select retailers across Ontario. You can also find us on tap at many bars and restaurants across the province.
August 1: Bellwoods Brewery –
Bellwoods Brewery began as a small brewpub in the west end of Toronto in 2012, and underwent a couple modest growth spurts over the years to encompass two retail shops (selling fresh cans and bottles), and a production brewery in North York (mostly to house The Foeder Pyramid). These days, we produce about 18,000hL a year, which is a mere blip in the grand scheme of Ontario beer, but keeps us pretty busy.
The styles we’re interested in brewing range greatly, and we always remain open to new ways of making beer. For the most part, our current efforts are devoted to aromatic hoppy stuff, crisp lagers, barrel aged wild blends, fruit-forward zingers, and the occasional barrel aged stout. There’s always a new, creative project waiting in the wings.
We’re still a relatively small, collaborative team, forever dedicated to the pursuit of perfect beer–thanks so much for partaking in the fruits of our labour.
August 7: Anderson Craft Ales
The story for Anderson Craft Ales began on a cold Christmas morning way back in the year 2005. After a vision filled night of dancing sugar-plums, a then 19 year old Gavin Anderson ran down the stairs to find Santa had left him the most glorious of presents: a complete homebrewing kit! Later, it was discovered that the kit was in fact purchased by his father, Jim Anderson. And thus began a lifelong obsession with brewing and craft beer.
Since that fateful Christmas morning so many years ago, Gavin has brewed hundreds of batches of beer, covering every style of beer imaginable. However, it was while completing a Ph.D. in microbiology and volunteering at a local microbrewery that Gavin realized his passion of brewing could be more than just a hobby. Gavin spent the next two years as head brewer at a newly opened microbrewery, and experienced great success during that time: winning a national professional brewing award, along with four regional awards, and several medals at local competitions.
Which brings us to present day. With the full support of his family, Gavin and his father Jim Anderson founded Anderson Craft Ales. We are 100% family owned and independent. This allows us to fulfill our vision and passion of brewing top quality craft beer without compromise. We hope you enjoy our family of beers
September 4: Reinhart Brewing –
The Beginning: The original 7 BBL brewhouse, where we crafted our original award winning beers, was built with a full hands on approach. Grain is hand mashed-in and mixed and pipes are connected by hand, giving us full control over every part of the brewing process. We do this to ensure optimum quality and consistency, while still being able to continuously tweak, experiment and develop new recipes. Today: Having outgrown our original 7BBL brewhouse, we’ve now doubled our production space. That being said, we continue to build on our original concept to produce the highest quality, hand crafted beers that we’ve been known for since the beginning. We brew the beer we want to drink. Plain and simple. The original Stockyards brewery:
Rainhard Brewing opened to the public in May 2015 in a former refinery. Located at 100 Symes Rd, the building is a 1940’s style manufacturing plant, renovated and modernized with sandblasted walls and exposed ceilings while retaining the original glass paned windows. The bar has been designed and built by Jordan Rainhard himself in the heart of the brewhouse, surrounded by brewing vessels, fermenters and oak barrels.
