Keep reading to find out the 4 Best Breweries in Toronto 2018. As Winter is coming to an end in Toronto – many of you are probably daydreaming of patio weather, where the sun is beating on us as we kick back with an ice-cold beer. Although there are plenty of options for patios, beer, and fun in Toronto – these 4 Breweries are defs going to be your go-to this Spring and Summer.
Bellwoods Brewery
Over the past few years – Bellwoods Brewery has easily become one of Toronto’s most popular breweries which is why it is one of the 4 Best Breweries in Toronto 2018. I mean it’s pretty hard to disagree since the beautiful patio is enough for one to want to sit down and grab a pint. The white picket fence at the front separates the sidewalk from the patio at the front of the brewery – which is a rare sight to see in Toronto because usually patios are situated at the back of any restaurant. The string lights hang above at night making it a very relaxing and cozy atmosphere with candles decorating the tables. Bellwoods Brewery even opened up a bottle shop which is directly beside their Ossington location because of the growing popularity of the beer they sell. The beer selection that they make can be seen as a variety of fresh, hoppy, aromatic pale ales, IPAs, and fruity. All their beers have a unique taste and they have created little snacks to compliment the beer you are drinking and for something to munch on. All in all – Bellwoods Brewery knows how it’s done and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Blood Brothers Brewing
Blood Brothers is definitely a notable mention for one of the 4 Best Breweries in Toronto 2018. With that said – Blood Brothers is a hidden gem situated on Geary Street. Although it is a tiny space, it is worth it to go grab a pint and sit outside on one of the picnic benches outside during a nice Spring day. The nice aspect of Blood Brothers is that it is in a very unique part of Toronto without a lot of foot traffic so you really need to know it is there to go. They have a lot of different beers that you wouldn’t find anywhere else like sour beer! They offer a fridge full of different snacks which makes the place feel very casual and almost like you’re at your house picking out snacks for you and your friends to have while enjoying a pint!

Bandit Brewery
A pretty new addition to the Toronto brewery family – Bandit Brewery easily became a hot spot this past summer for friends and family to enjoy some local craft beer, which is why it is one of the 4 Best Breweries in Toronto 2018. The brewery is located in an old auto shop at Dundas and Roncesvalles, which you can imagine is quite large. With that said, there is plenty of seating both inside the open concept space and as well as the large spacious patio which is similar to Bellwoods Brewery as it is situated at the front of the brewery as well. White exposed brick walls on the inside and as well as the exterior. The string lights on the patio are perfect for a Spring or Summer night and will make you want to stay all night long. If that’s not enough to get you to stay – then I think their food menu will do the trick! From their Royale with Cheese to their Buttermilk Fried Chicken I think you will be satisfied!

Amsterdam Brewery
Who doesn’t like to be near the lake enjoying an ice-cold beer? During the long winter months, everyone is just patiently waiting for Spring to come and I don’t think there’s a better way to spend the first beautiful Spring day than enjoying it on the beautiful patio of Amsterdam Brewery and that is why it is one of the 4 Best Breweries in Toronto 2018. The ambiance is just so relaxing and it almost feels as though you’re not even in Toronto! At the back patio, they have Muskoka cottage chairs that overlook the lake and you can enjoy some snacks and one of their refreshing pints. Amsterdam is a huge space whether you sit inside or outside and they have a huge selection of craft beer and food that will not disappoint! Amsterdam brewery always has a huge line as soon as the weather is nice again – so make sure to book a reservation.
