A new pass lets you taste your way through 23 craft breweries in Toronto

A new Toronto Brew Pass offers up to four tastings a day at almost two dozen craft breweries across Toronto.

The pass comes in one-day, three-day or seven-day options, and the breweries are located in downtown, midtown, the west of Toronto and the east of Toronto, the Don Valley and Etobicoke.

Some of the breweries offer full flights with the pass, and others a single pour. The digital Toronto Brew Pass costs $22 for a one-day pass that allows for four tastings over a 24-hour period, $32 for a three-day pass for 16 tastings and $52 for a seven-day pass that gives you access to tastings at all 23 breweries over the course of a week.

Just show the pass on your phone at each brewery, and be sure to use it within 90 days of purchase.

Here’s the full list of breweries, most of which are dog-friendly and have patios:

• Bellwoods Brewery
• Big Rock Brewing
• Black Lab Brewing
• Blood Brothers Brewing
• Burdock Brewery
• Eastbound Brewing
• Goldenfield Brewery

Red Tape Brewery is Indigenous-owned, and Goldenfield Brewery’s beer has Persian influences. Some of the brewery spaces are just as interesting as the beer, with Junction located in an old incinerator, Steam Whistle operating out of the historic John Street Roundhouse and Old Flame operating in the charming Distillery District.

“Almost every neighbourhood in Toronto has a brewery, often with unique brews or compelling stories that bring the city to life through each sip,” said Andrew Weir, CEO and president at Destination Toronto. “The Toronto Brew Pass provides an opportunity for visitors and residents to sample local ingredients and brewer innovation while exploring the diversity and vibrancy of the city.”

“The new Toronto Brew Pass is another exciting way we’re shining a spotlight on some of the fantastic craft breweries in our great province”, said Scott Simmons, president of Ontario Craft Brewers. “The Ontario Craft Brewers (OCB) encourage everyone to grab their brew pass today to try a new craft brewery or stop in at an old favourite.”
