Visiting Ajax, Ontario, Canada and was fortunate to find a brewery close by to where we were…read morestaying. We went during the day, about an hour after opening. There was another patron present. 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.

A friend and I went on a guided tour of Brock St Brewery, located in the heart of downtown Whitby…read more Our guide, the son of one of the owners, took us through the facility on a very informative tour, explaining the entire process of brewing their beverages. BTW, in addition to their beers, they also make gin and vodka, all on site! It was all very interesting! Our tour ended in their third floor lounge, a gorgeous and intimate space, where we sampled a flight of their beer. They were all good! This lounge also hosts live entertainment, including music, workshops, and other events. Whether you have an interest in beer, or not, the tour was very interesting and the facility was very impressive! Check them out and then grab a bite to eat at 12welve Bistro, located in the same facility.

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.

Each element harmonizes, and no single flavor dominates the others. Most importantly, good booze kicks! We had Jalapeño popper dip $12 for snack. Perfectly modest and perfectly enough to bring out the best flavors of their beers.

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)

Such a cool vibe! Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area especially for beer and wine…read moretaste testing. The Black Lager, Nut Brown Ale, Tropical Situation, Altar Ego, and Extra Special Bitter were what we tried and they were excellent! Food is superb here too. We started with the Whipped Feta which we tend to get a lot when it's available at different dispensaries and this one was easily one of the best we had. My Buffalo Chicken Burger was so delicious, crispy, and the Gorgonzola cheese added a lot to it as well. My wife ordered the Tofu Tacos which she enjoyed and liked even more when she added pickles that I didn't want from my burger. Wasn't as messy as she thought it was gonna be too! Our fries were nice and crispy and very well seasoned as well. Staff was excellent and gave great recommendations and we had great conversation with him. I know the menu has changed a bit since we went, so we're dying to try the new menu and new beers! Again, highly recommend stopping here!

I decided maybe Virgil was close enough to try it, and oh my goodness - I understood at once why poutine is so popular. If you also hail from a poutine-less area of the world, fear not - done well, it's a great dish. The beer was also excellent. I can see why The Black Lager is Canada's most award-winning Schwarzbier. There are some really good schwarzebiers in my city, and Silversmith's is right up there with them. I also have a Nut Brown Ale, and a small size of the Motueka, both of which I would get again. They know what they are doing with their food and drink. And the atmosphere is really good as well. The old-church-turned-brewery is beautiful. I'll let the pictures in other reviews do it justice. The service was good. It was relatively busy the night I was there, but the service was still quick enough and even a bit conversational - I recall one of the bartenders worked at Silversmith in the warmer months, and travels southeast Asia in the colder months, which is pretty cool. I would likely be a regular if I lived in the area.
