This brewery with two locations has plenty to recommend it. In Bloordale, find beer-friendly food tailor-made to play incredibly nicely with the team's roster of sudsy sips, like the crisp, earthy Super Pilsner and fan-favourite Tuesday 24 saison. Pick up all these beers and more from their bottle shop in Kensington Market.

Ossington visitors crowd onto the patio or in this brewpub's cozy dining room for a taste of the team's rotating selection of sours, barrel-aged beers, lagers, and more. Sipped alongside chichi bites, from duck ragu over downy gnocchi to lamb merguez sausage, each invariably improves any hour of the day. There's also a location on Hafis Road.

Visits to the bottle shop at this Geary Avenue brewery tend to morph into stays at its on-site restaurant, where a menu of comfort classics is hard to resist. Wings, bejewelled salads, plates of brisket, chicken and Louisiana-style pork make quick work of session IPAs, spicy sour ales and American-style lagers.

Pop-ups, trivia nights, festivals and beer releases add to the breezy feel at this sizeable Sterling Road taproom. Sidle in beside other like-minded individuals and sample the team's offerings — from classic Henderson's Best to black-cherry soused Schmeltzer's Seltzer — before you buy a whole case.

Visit the original Wagstaff Drive or the Liberty Village location of this microbrewery and find oodles of craft beers, from dark ales to lagers. To sate your appetite while you imbibe, the kitchen at Liberty matches hunger with mini corn dogs, beer and cheddar dip, and other beer-thirsty eats.

Pack the pooch for an afternoon at this relaxed, dog-friendly Leslieville hangout. Order a flight for a taste of multiple brews, from the refreshing Maibock to the malty sweet Munich Dunkel. For food, visit on a weekend when there's generally a pop-up, or order in from a neighbouring restaurant.

Devotees head to Dundas West for this beloved brand's taproom, brewpub and stocked store, where a giddy assortment of eye-catching cans vie for attention. Head over during happy hour (from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday) for a thorough sampling of micro pale ales, New England-style IPAs, ciders, and non-alcoholic stouts.

Clear days were made to be spent on the sun-dappled, all-weather patio at this Roncesvalles Village brewery. Here, the team approaches food as seriously as it does beer. Make sure to pick up some cans of your favourite pilsner, sour ale or double-dry hopped IPA, and head home happy.

Pioneers in the local craft beer movement, the team at this brewery with locations in Etobicoke and near Sugar Beach has been making unique, full-flavoured ales, lagers, and more for close to 40 years. At the brewpub, 20 taps pour a range of GLB offerings, while a lengthy menu of seasonal comfort foods entices visitors to linger.
