On February 6, 2012, after many months of renovations, we fired up our main brewing system and officially started production at 124 Ossington Ave. Needless to say it was a very exciting week. The next 4-6 weeks will be devoted to testing recipes and building up stock before our opening, which we anticipate will be sometime in mid March. Stay tuned for more info.
In anticipation of the launch of Bellwoods Brewery, we produced a film short about the production of our first set of posters. If the video is not loading on your smartphone, try this link instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GoN2LvzC1c

The Garrison Creek’s influence on early brewing and the development of our downtown neighbourhoods is an often-unappreciated but highly relevant piece of Toronto’s history.
One of the many beers we’re piloting at the moment - Lost River Ale – is named after the hidden waterway that shaped our park system and continues to flow beneath us.

Renovations are moving along well. We’re currently in a race to prepare the floors and building systems for the arrival of our first shipment of cellar tanks in late November. Our plumbing rough in is now complete. Next up we’ll be pouring a new concrete floor for the cellar tanks, and patching the existing floor where we had to remove sections. Plenty of electrical and HVAC work still to do. Thanks to Mike Banani for the photo.

Bellwoods Brewery is a new Toronto microbrewery, retail store & café coming to 124 Ossington Ave.
