9 new craft breweries opening soon in Toronto

Toronto beer drinkers have lots to look forward to in 2018 and beyond! In addition to our already thriving population of craft breweries, there’s even more on the way.

Here are 9 incoming craft breweries already in the works.

33 Acres Brewing Co.

Vancouver-based brewery, 33 Arches Brewing Co., is in the process of converting a one-storey industrial building on Dufferin Street into a craft brewery, retail store, 300-seat restaurant, and 120-seat patio. There’s no opening date to announce just yet though, the project seems stalled following some neighbourhood opposition.

Bellwoods Brewery – Dupont

Coming from humble beginnings a little over five years ago, Bellwoods Brewery has seen tremendous success and is planning to open a third production house. Their Dupont brewery was announced in 2014 but has been plagued by delays. The delays have been so bad that, while the Dupont location was under construction, Bellwoods announced and opened another bottle shop/tasting room at 20 Hafis Road.

Address: 950 Dupont Street, Toronto

Collective Arts – Kensington Market

Collective Art has two main beliefs: creativity fosters creativity and creativity yields delicious pints–it’s a concept that’ll fit in nicely in Toronto’s Kensington Market. While details are still forthcoming, it’s been widely speculated that the brewer is looking to lay roots on Augusta Avenue.
