Toronto's most celebrated brewery — Bellwoods put Ontario craft beer on the national map. Their IPA programme is extraordinary (Jelly King, Wizard Wolf, Motley Cru), but the farmhouse ales, barrel-aged sours, and experimental small-batch releases are what make Bellwoods genuinely world-class. The Ossington brewpub has a full kitchen with excellent elevated pub food, and the bottle shop carries rare releases that sell out within hours.
Neighbourhood: Ossington / West Queen West · Address: 124 Ossington Ave, Toronto
Why visit Bellwoods Brewery
The Jelly King dry-hopped sour is the signature — if it's on tap, order it first. Rare bottle releases drop randomly; follow their Instagram for announcements. The brewpub food (fried chicken sandwich, oysters) is as good as the beer.
