Top 7 Breweries in Old Toronto, Canada
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Stop. Don’t even try another craft beer while in Toronto. This is the one for you. Steam Whistle only brews one beer but it’s a hell of a beer. Crisp, flavourful and refreshing. If you’re stopping in for a cold one the incredibly pleasant and down to Earth staff will happily greet you and offer you a free sample of their beer — which was likely freshly brewed that day! The brewery itself though has evolved into something more — an experience. It’s always been a treat to visit the brewery but over the years it’s improved dramatically. The staff as so young and friendly. The beer is cheap. The brewery is usually home to art exhibits to browse during your visit, it offers informative tours (that’s usually $12 and includes a free beer or two during the tour), has a small snack bar with delicious options and has become the official pre drinking spot for Blue Jay fans and Maple Leafs fans before a game. Do yourself a favour and check out Steam Whistle Brewery. You don’t be disappointed.

Our story starts in 2011 when we set out with a simple goal: brew a hoppy pale ale that would compliment our house-ground burgers. When our beer was a bigger hit than our burgers, we knew it was time to pursue an adventure in craft beer. Join us at our brewery, tap room and bottle shop and dive into a wide selection of amazing beer made right in the Market, inspired our friends and neighbours.

Get a true craft experience with daily brewery tours, seating surrounding the glass encased, still operational brew house and an ever rotating list of small batch brews alongside our classics. On the go? Our retail store is fully stocked with the freshest packaged Mill Street Brews. About Mill Street Brewery: Our story begins in the winter of 2002 when we opened the doors to our little red brick brewery in Toronto's historic Distillery District. With an earth-friendly philosophy in mind, Original Organic Lager was the first beer we ever made, and the first ever organic beer brewed in Canada. Soon after we impressed curious craft drinkers with Tankhouse Ale, a uniquely flavour-forward brew for its time. In 2006, we exceeded the capacity of our modest brewhouse and made the decision to expand the brewery, converting the original brewery space into a brewpub. 2012 saw us take on Ottawa's vibrant craft beer scene, opening a second brewpub in a historic old gristmill on the banks of the Ottawa River. We certainly never lost our dedication to our craft and passion for pushing the envelope. Our ever-expanding portfolio now includes over 60 unique beers earning us well over 100 awards, including 3-time Canadian Brewery of the Year. That's our story up till now. Who knows where our "Great Beer" adventure will take us next?

We needed a new experience and we got it with Mill Street Beer Hall - Thanks to Catherine Rowe and her team - the food was plentiful and delicious - we picked a menu, paired the wines and enjoyed the great selection of brewed beer. From the appetizers chicken & vegetable gyoza & beer hall salad to the mains: pan seared snapper, thai coconut curry and chimichurri steak and dessert of double fudge brownies - was excellent. The restaurant was loud and crowded but has a great vibe. Next visit we will allow for more time to enjoy the Christmas Market.
