As well as a dozen or so draught beers, there's a fridge with another varied selection of cans to either drink on site, or to take away. There's a small food menu that offers decent bites, but this is not the place to come for a full on pub dinner. I would appreciate a greater selection of non-alcoholic drinks, but that's a minor gripe. What makes me happy is the no nonsense, everyone is welcome sign ensuring that no matter who you are, your race, colour, sexual orientation etc, you are welcome. And bigotry against such will never be tolerated.

The people are knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions you may have about their selection of beer. I sampled a couple of their beers before getting a pint of their Ice Cold Beer which has become my all time favourite. You can also do a flight of beers where you can try many of their great tasting beers on tap. Seating is available at the bar area and in the main space as well. Unfortunately this location does not serve food but you are more than welcome to order food in. Left Field has a fan club where you can sign up for free and collect points. Recently updated, you can now redeem for merchandise and beer. They also offer a birthday reward as well as long as you provide your info when signing up. Overall, this place always has good vibes and has become one of my fave spots for a beer and a good chat. Beer is available on tap and for grab n go. Shoutout to Alex, Pam and Mike! You guys are awesome and so is the beer! Cheers!

Although it's not as packed these days, the brewery still holds its classic charm. There's always a great crowd especially during baseball season! One of my favorite things about their beers is that they're available in small cans... Which is perfect "snack"! Even though their beers are available at LCBO these days, it's still a great time coming by the brewery and trying new things, and hanging out with good people.

(Drank 09/10/25 WE @11:30am): I was heading eastbound and down to get to this brewery!…read more Eastbound Brewing Co. was the fifth brewery on this Toronto trip. If you knew me, I always researched for any breweries that may be near wherever I was traveling. Founded in 2017 by husband and wife, Dave Lee (brewmaster) and Tara Lee (head chef) along with three other partners, with the simple idea: make great beer and serve it with great food - no compromises. In 2024, it evolved to include Eastbound Cantina - a full Tex-Mex kitchen inside the brewpub. Would my trip eastbound from Corktown brew up some good drinking times!? PURCHASE(S) Eastbound Brewing Co. Backpacker Golden Ale Blonde Beer 16floz Draft ($8.00CAD): Golden amber color, honey malty aroma, low body, fruity honey malty flavor, crisp smooth finish, and honey malty aftertaste. This was my favorite in the bunch. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=1296&select=kmB1G3-nfqUnxuedVhV_SQ Mac & Cheese + w/Pimiento Cheese ($9.00CAD + $2.00CAD): Housemade 3-cheese sauce, corkscrew pasta, and garlic breadcrumb, each bite of chewy smooth pasta with the crunch of breadcrumbs paired with a slightly spicy creamy cheese was pure bliss. Logo Sticker ($4.00CAD): I loved stickers and commonly placed them on the walls of other breweries. Eastbound Brewing Co. The Ocho Anniversary IPA Beer 16floz Draft ($8.75CAD): Golden amber color, hoppy piney aroma, low body, fruity hoppy piney flavor, clean finish, and slight hoppy aftertaste. Taco Of The Month Rancho Seca Beef Barbacoa Taco ($8.00CAD): Beer-braised beef barbacoa, pickled cabbage, avocado crema, salsa seca, and radish cress on a corn tortilla, the tender meat was heavenly marinated with an outstanding crema. El Diablo Del Mar Taco ($7.00CAD): Blackened rockfish, pineapple salsa, cabbage slaw, and pea shoots on a corn tortilla, this was a crispy light nicely-charred piece of fish with a tropical touch from the pineapple salsa. Eastbound Brewing Co. El Camino Mexican Lager Beer 16floz Draft ($8.00CAD): Golden amber color, citrusy malty aroma, low body, citrusy malty flavor, crisp smooth finish, and citrusy malty aftertaste. SERVICE A kind female and male behind the counter as I entered and grabbed a stool at the bar. The male gave me a rundown on the beers while the female had more information on the food. I settled in, placed my orders, and each item came out quickly. As the lunch crowd slowly started coming in, I departed and went to the next brewery - cheers! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): This was outside from the Toronto International Film Festival area, so I simply walked from where I was staying. Otherwise, there were spots along the many main and surrounding streets, some nearby structures, numerous public transportation options, and rideshares - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A bright clean long spacious floorplan with a long bar, tons of tables throughout, arcade and board games towards the back, and visible brewing tanks. A decent amount of natural lighting came through the front windows and doors while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several muted TVs while indie rock music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=1296&select=4PK3qoGE8ioip_AT0qyVNA ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Eastbound Brewing Co. was incredible, and I wished they had t-shirts for sale! They had a very good selection of beers on tap and a full bar while the menu options were wonderful. The beers, food, prices, and service were on point! They also had a happy hour (TU-FR 4pm-6pm) and other weekly drink/food promotions. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $61.00CAD BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

As always, my friend and I shared beers; we ordered 2 choices, an IPA and an Amber Red Ale, both of which were quite good. This was our 3rd visit to the Brewery; our 1st visit was part of a Riverside Crawl featuring local businesses providing drink samples; we were given a tour and beer samples. At our 2nd visit shortly before X-Mas 2019 we sat and shared beers at the bar. The Brewery has specials/discounts and trivia Events and is a nice addition to the neighbourhood.

Decided on their flight which consisted of their lager, pilsner, IPA and a sour ale. All good beers! Enjoyed the sour ale the most the bartender mentioned it is fermented for 2 years for the taste. Speaking of the bartender, she was wonderful. Took time to discuss each beer as I tasted them. She even went out of her way to find a sticker for me before leaving (knowing I live in Chicago area).

A nice sunny & hot Sunday - a perfect day for "beer-in patio"…read more We luckily found this place to try in our neighbohood. It is hidden in the area that is a mix of small industrial offices and homes - just pops up in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Comfortably serving neighbors, celebrating their own craft beer. I arrived at around 3:30 pm, but the place was full of people enjoying a live music performance. I saw their calender- they have events almost every day to entertain their guests. We had a flight consisting of 4 beers that include: - Munition (IPA) - Among the clouds (hazy pale ale) - Krumlov (pilsner) - Ohh Vienna (lager) Enjoyable! I liked "Among the clouds" because I thought it had the most hoppiness that I like. Recommend to go in the patio season, they have a small and quiet patio that offers sun, breeze, and relaxation. It is located in Ajax south which is very close to the lake.

Tips: - This store has a fridge full of craft beer and…read moreseltzer that you can buy and go. - There's another fridge with food items from local businesses, such as Juicy Empanadas. On Saturday, I drove over to Common Good Beer Company. Crosstown Craft Barbeque (CCB) was holding a popup event here. CCB had its first popup event at another beer place, but decided to try a different location. All meats were sold out by the time I got to the first event, so I needed another take. The popup started at 1 pm. I got here at 12:45 pm. Common Good is on the south side of Ellesmere, east of Warden Avenue. Although I was coming from the east, I recommend going eastbound on Ellesmere to turn right and get to this place safely. Common Good is in a small plaza. Eggsmart anchors this plaza. I had no problem finding a parking spot. I backed into an available one. I recommend backing into a spot because the distance between the two rows of parking is narrow. I like that Common Good has a lot of glass. I could see the lineup had already started. I waited in line. There was a bit of an issue with something, but it was fixed and customers were being served. Only two meats were sold out by the time I got to the front: - Turkey breast - Beef ribs Maybe it's me. I was surprised that the turkey went first. I would have thought that perhaps folks needed a break from turkey from Easter. Nope, it had sold out in a flash. Folks at CCB are nice. I ordered a bunch of goodies that didn't duplicate the sides that I had ordered two weeks ago: - Brisket - Spare ribs - Pork belly burnt ends - Cheddar jalapeno sausage - Mac and cheese - Coleslaw - Cornbread pudding I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. All was great. I got a tray with my food. I got complimentary mustard and barbeque sauces. I also got pickled onions and pickles. Oh, and I needed a lid. On my way out, I saw a fridge full of craft beer and more. I had to check it out. I had a hard time figuring out if I wanted the Japanese rice beer or the dark lager. I went with the latter. I immediately saw field berry hard seltzer. I grabbed one. The woman at the counter was friendly and nice. She thanked me for supporting local. Common Good is all for supporting local businesses in Scarborough. I paid for my cans with a credit card. I tapped and all was good. This woman was so nice. She saw me with my tray and sides, and now cans of booze. She got me a paper bag with handles. I loaded my sides and cans into it. It helped a lot! I thanked her and left the store. Although I feel like I may have ordered way too much food from CCB, it was worth it. I have been eating a bunch of meals from it. The meats were half a pound each. They taste even better the longer they are left over. I can't pick a favourite protein. The brisket was so tender. The pork belly was on the fattier side, which gave you more flavour. The spareribs were so much better a day later. Meaty and yummy. The cheddar jalapeno sausage is my favourite sausage that I have had so far this year. It had the right combination of heat, meat, and cheese. I love sides. The mac and cheese had large shells, which made me happy. I liked the breadcrumbs on top. I love mac and cheese. I feel that there needed to be more sauce. Otherwise, it was solid tastewise. The coleslaw was excellent. It was garlicky, crunchy, creamy, vinegary, and delicious. Full marks! It also turned purple as time elapsed, which was cool. The cornbread pudding was also a pleasant surprise. It had chocolate mixed in with cornbread. It was dense and delightful to consume. I will be back for more field berry hard seltzer. It was excellent to down while watching game 7 between the Dallas Stars (more like the Rantanen show) and Colorado Avalanche. The berry flavour was perfect. It was cold and refreshing. It's the perfect lighter option as the weather gets warmer and nicer. I had the Japanese dark lager last night watching the Toronto Maple Leafs win their game against the Florida Panthers. The dark part had chocolate and caramel, which added so much flavour depth to the beer. The folks at CCB are so nice. They let me know that the next popup won't be here because the seating isn't as abundant as the other venue. It's true. However, the seating is more inviting here due to the number of plants soaking up all the sunshine that naturally beams in. I'm so glad that I dropped by Common Good. I'll be back for more beer and seltzer. I also want to get some empanadas from Juicy Empanada. This store also has a decent selection of pop (I saw Fanta in orange and pineapple) and snacks. I'd also like to play an arcade game. I didn't see Pac-Man, but I can do Millipede. (154)
