Bowmanville? We drove all way looking for Manantler Craft Brewing. And It was definitely worth the…read moredrive here. Small craft brewery that is passionate with beers always fun to visit: to taste the beer, to talk to the brewers and of course to buy some beers! Manantler is located at the back and the basement of an industrial building. The entrance is hidden and small. But the brewery and taproom itself is well set up. The star though is their beers!!! Amazing beers both on taps and bottles. Wakatu-Me Nugget Lollihop Liquid Swords IPA Love their Single Hop Pale Ale with a lot of character. A lot of interesting beers, please check Facebook for what's available. Of course a beer tasting experience won't be complete without a knowledgeable beer geek behind the bar to talk beers with Trevor. Every beer here is a work of love and art: beer, awesome beer labels artwork and even their catchy names! I can't wait to try out more beers fro Manantler soon...

I really liked the vibe of this place. It was a fun little trip to use the restroom. There was cool…read morepics hanging on the wall. I was a bit disappointed that we had a Groupon for 4 beer flights but for some reason we were only allowed to have 3 tastes per flight. We watched others receive 4 beers per flights so I guess that is what you get when you buy Groupon to try out new breweries. The beers for some reason all tasted very similar. Makes me wonder if they do a kit brew or we just tasted at a bad time. I give 3 stars mostly because of the decor and the atmosphere this place has. Kid friendly, games and cool art. Good mix of music playing. I can see a lot of fun things this brewery can do.

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)

I wasnt expecting to like it as much as I did but it was perfect with how hot it was outside. The beer was hazy and fruity so it blended well and felt like a frozen coctail which is right down my ally. The atmosphere was great as well. There were plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating along with some comfy couch seating and bar as well. There seemed to be some good boardgames which is always a good touch. The staff was great. They chatted with us for a while, gave some recommendations, and we're fast. They dont do growler fills or else we would have been here all the time. Overall a great spot for drinks.

It did not disappoint! The vibes here are immaculate with lots of locals from the community hanging out. It's dog friendly which makes it a plus! They even have a wall of dog photos and a treat jar for all the doggie visitors. I'm not a beer drinker myself, but everyone I went with really enjoyed their pints. They have an extensive beer list on tap and a retail shop for you to bring home your favourite beers in a can! The highlight for me was Patterson's pizza that is permanently there as a popup now, from Friday to Sundays! The pizza was definitely a 10/10 and neapolitan style - can't wait to come back for more. Visit this brewery with family or friends for some delicious beers and pizza (on the weekends)! It won't disappoint!

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.

I would appreciate a greater selection of non-alcoholic drinks, but that's a minor gripe.

Amsterdam beer is a common beer in Ontario. It orginated from Ontario and is like the mass…read moreproduction stuff if you ask me. I don't consider it as craft beer but I do have to say it is good beer. I have had Amsterdam beer at other restaurants and other pubs and usually it would be the cheapest beer (probably because it is a local beer). I got one of their signature can of beer the Indian Pale Ale: Boneshaker for B. B is a fan of beer and he loves trying beer from other places. Amsterdam Boneshaker is definitely better than all the IPA that you can find in BC locally and definitely better than many IPA (this is coming from someone who doesn't really like IPA). B said it has a floral flavor on top of the usual IPA taste and it is not that hoppy. So basically Amsterdam Beer has more to offer or a step up than the usual. It is not the best beer but still some pretty good beer they got brewing here. We had the Blonde before and we found it ok. It was not a bad beer but it was pretty average. Note that the Blonde is usually the discounted beer at happy hours at some restuarants or pub. We still need to try the other flavors.
