As fall seems to have officially hit here in Toronto, it’s no surprise that I find myself with a fridge full of classic cold weather brews. This one, from Mill Street, is a classic for drinkers at their brewpub or new beer hall in the distillery district. Long a seasonal favourite, when Mill Street announced […]
Oh goodness gracious. What a massive event. This Year’s Brewer’s Plate in Toronto took place in the Wychwood Barns, a really cool City of Toronto event space.
