10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Orangeville

"Founded in 2011, Junction Craft Brewing is well known for their signature brew, Conductor’s Craft Ale, a popular sipper made with five types of malt and five types of hops using a hybrid of brewing techniques. In addition, they brew a variety of styles you can find in their tap room and retail store. Conductor’s Craft Ale is available in the LCBO along with their award winning Brakeman’s Session Ale and Tracklayer’s Kolsch."

"You might not look at Junction’s stately new home and think “trash incinerator,” but that’s precisely what it was built to be in the early 30s, when it was known as “The Destructor” (dope). When brewmaster Doug Pengelly and Co. moved in, they kitted the place out with energy-saving brewing tanks, plus a taproom pouring everything from staples like Conductor’s APA to Earl Grey ale and mango lager."

"From stouts to lagers, to sours, to ales, Junction Craft gives you various options from which to choose. Residents of Toronto get free delivery when they order at least 12 cans. If you live elsewhere in Ontario, you need to spend at least $75 to qualify for free shipping."

"You’ll find Rainhard Brewing Co. in the Stockyards neighbourhood of Toronto, housed in an old 1940s-style manufacturing plant. Brewmaster and founder Jason Rainhard started off in the corporate world, but then shifted his attention to beer, starting as a homebrewer and who is now an award-winning pro. Stop by the tap room to try a few, which currently include a black IPA, West Coast IPA, Roggenbier (German rye larger), Czech style pilsner, farmhouse ale among other lovingly crafted small batch brews."

"Only three years old, the Stockyards’ first brewery has already tripled its capacity to produce the good stuff. The folks at Rainhard are also the proud ­owners of two brand-new Italian-made foeders (pronounced “food-ers”), ginormous oak barrels used by brewers to ferment beer, especially sour, funky beer, over months and even years. While we wait for their first foeder beer to hit the menu, the Kapow!"

"Rounding out the trifecta of Stockyards breweries (together with Shacklands and Junction) is this sleek-yet-industrial space. The top export is the famed dry-hopped ale, a favourite of beer nerds GTA-wide, but take this opportunity to sample the gently chocolatey Sweetback’s Milk Stout or collab brews with producers like Muddy York and Mosaic City."

"Located in the Junction (Dundas West), this independent Toronto brewery serving hard to find Ales, has been a consistent favourite of ours despite not living in the neighbourhood. With a wide range of in-house beers and great service, this Toronto brewery sees us making the 40 minute trek from downtown Toronto on a regular basis. The ambiance is fun and welcoming for those of all ages (beer for the adults and crayons for the little ones) making this a spot you can add to your list of things to do in Toronto with kids as well."

"If you’re tired of drinking mass-produced beer-flavoured water, you’ll want to check out this popular Junction alehouse. In addition to the small indie brewery’s four flagship offerings, its rotating taps are always changing – keep an eye out for Fates & Furies, a series dedicated to reviving now hard-to-find brews. Try: The Barnyard Belgian IPA, a hybrid that combines the best of both iconic styles."

"They’re not located in a “trendy” neighbourhood, and you won’t find any reclaimed barnboard or ­taxidermy in the taproom, but Etobicoke’s Great Lakes Brewery has been making the good stuff since 1987—when some of today’s most dedicated craft beer drinkers were nursing a whole different kind of bottle. Owner Peter Bulut Jr. and brewer Mike Lackey are still at it today, and their Canuck pale ale is as good as it gets around here. Pay a visit to their sweet new patio and treat yourself to a pre- or post-Costco-trip pint."

"As one of the GTA’s oldest craft brewers, this two-time Canadian Brewery of the Year has been putting out consistently excellent beers for going on three decades now. GLB refuses to simply rest on their laurels though, putting out innovative new limited releases as part of their ongoing Tank Ten project. Try: Any of the latest Tank Ten offerings, or their classic Canuck Pale Ale."

"For People’s Pint, the name reflects the democratic process in which the brewery crafts its brews. People’s Pint started as a project in 2015 when they brought together 15 brewers from around the province to create a series of one-off beers. The concept was such a hit that People’s Pint developed from a one-time event into a full-scale project."

"From a project that involved 15 brewers coming together to craft a series of one-off beers, People’s Pint has evolved into a full-scale brewery. Some of its more popular beers are Alpine Dunkel, Alpine Hefe, Goldie Boat, Gose Cuervo, and Helles Island. All orders over $50 placed from within its delivery area get free delivery."

"Save for the giant tanks, drinking at Shacklands feels like hanging in your fave neighbourhood dive bar: the walls are slathered in action figures, the stereo’s playing Matthew Sweet and old cartoons are on a loop on the TV. But instead of Labatt 50, the bar’s pouring a delightful jumble of sours, bretts and fruity blends, courtesy brewer Jason Tremblay."

"Don’t come to Shacklands looking for a lager or an IPA—you won’t find any. They pour only Belgian-style brews: farmhouse ales, saisons, tripels and dubbels. Everything here is downright funky."

"Travel several km west of Toronto for the spacious Sherway Gardens mall in Etobicoke. Open since 1971, this mall has expanded every decade to include 1,182,000 square feet of retail, with a recent slant to more luxury brand and fashion-conscious items. The mall somehow seems much smaller than it is, with low hanging ceilings and a figure-8 layout."

"With more than 1-million square feet, Sherway Gardens mall, located in Etobicoke, has 215 stores. It’s the eighth largest mall in Toronto. Through the years, it has changed from a mix of retail stores to become a centre for high fashion and luxury."
