1 For a hearty meal and exceptional beer made on-site, head to the Mill Street Brew Pub, a fixture in the Distillery Historic District. Sample the brewmaster’s Tankhouse Pale Ale (pictured)—known for its copper-red hue and spicy hop flavour—or down a pint of the rich, chocolaty Coffee Porter. 2 enowned brewer Mike Duggan offers a range of seasonal beers at his Duggan’s Brewery. Wash down hearty pub fare with the #5 Asian lager—with notes of malted barley and Japanese rice—or the #9 IPA, made with nine traditional ale malts. 3 In the heart of downtown Toronto, The 3 Brewers exudes the comfort and unassuming authenticity of an old countryside watering hole. Get acquainted with one of its delightful “Four Sisters”—blond, red, brown or wheat—straight from the keg to your stein. 4 Steps from the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre, Steam Whistle Brewing invites passers by to drop in for a tour of its facilities in a historic roundhouse train depot, then lounge with a free sample of Steam Whistle Pilsner, a golden beer with a crisp, clean finish. 5 Quality house-made wine from South American grapes draw dedicated patrons to Olivia’s at 53, a Victorian home with the city’s first micro-winery. Here, epicureans linger over food, wine and fine music from the comfort of the dining room, wine cellar or garden patio.
