"Started by real life brothers Brayden and Dustin Jones in 2015, the brewery has amassed a passionate following, so much so, the park across the street has become the unofficial overflow room when the indoor seating and patio are packed. Blood Brothers is known for its experimental sours, wine infusions (like White Lies, a sour ale re-fermented with Chablis grapes) and fruity concoctions, including Ronnie’s Pharmaceuticals, a sweet-and-sour ale collab with Toronto dives Ronnie’s and Pharmacy. It recently opened a kitchen, serving up brewery bread made in-house and fried potatoes that are liked cubed latkes."

"What is it: Boundary-bending craft beers can be hit-and-miss, but brewer brothers Dustin and Brayden Jones have a knack for developing curious brews that are consistently sure bets.

Why go: Blood Brothers Brewing’s location on the industrially-hip Geary Ave. strip makes it an even more happening brewery to hit."

"In 2015, Blood Brothers was born when a pair of brothers decided they needed to bring more interesting beers to their pals. Now, the Geary Avenue brewery is a full-scale operation. Beer menus read like potions – the Shumei IPA blends West Coast and North Eastern styles of IPA, while the Paradise Lost is a sour ale brewed with carrots, mangoes and pineapples."
