Upon entering the venue, we received a free bottle of hot sauce for the event and made our way to the bar. I ordered the mango and cherry sour beers - mango was my favourite. To order food, you also go to the bar and give you a number to take to your table. We ordered the beef brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. Both were fabulous and the fries were one of the best I've had - perfectly salted. The ambience was a warehouse but decorated with a large indoor palm tree, string lights and plenty of bar style seating. I really enjoyed both the event and the venue itself. I would return both for an event, their house made beers, and the tasty food!

I won't mark it down too much since my wife went back and said it was better when they had their main room open but that first experience wasnt worth the walk.

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.

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)

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.

The huge covered patio and rustic inside bar with exposure to the outside makes for a very pleasant place to sit and people watch on a sunny afternoon. The patio also appears to be winterized so it could be a good spot year-round. The menu selections are few but inspired. We didn't eat there as we had just had lunch elsewhere but the food passing us by looked appetizing. The beer selection is all home brew, as you would expect. The "juicebox" was my favourite - citrus forward and refreshing but a bit too hoppy for my taste. In fact, most selections were hopped up on hop but that's sadly de rigueur these days (One day, malt will reign again). Take a stroll south from Dundas West station. Park yourself at Bandit, and take it all in.

I didn't really like any of the beers I had. They were more on the bitter side and tasted watered down to me. There was also a HUGE difference between the lower ABV beers vs #16 that had the highest ABV out of the lot. I don't think that I've ever gone to a brewery and didn't like any of the beers. I wouldn't be opposed to going back, trying other beers, but there are just soo many darn breweries in the city to check out first!
