New b**r release: 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 is a saison aged on local, organic Black Satin blackberries.

This year’s vintage has w**e-like aromatics of leather and violets, with soft tannins and a w**e-like acidity and mineral-lime finish.

As with previous vintages, we sourced our fruit from our friend and local producer who we lovingly refer to as Blackberry Bob of Thimbleberry Farms in Beamsville.

His farm is a regular stop during our summer visits to w**e country as we check in on the fruit and plan our barrel blends for the season ahead.
A sip of 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 always takes us back to Bob’s farm in midsummer, where we pick at punnets of berries until our hands stain purple.

𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘴 is available on tap only from our Dundas taproom.

We’re introducing new dishes to our menu as we transition to fall. Our cannellini chipotle dip topped with corn nuts, chives, and Persian lime olive oil, is a hearty snack to share.

Pair it with 𝘈 𝘍𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘢𝘳, our farmhouse pale ale dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin. The w**e-like sauvignon blanc aromatics of the beautiful New Zealand hop bring a refreshing contrast to the warming heat of the dip.

There’s still time to join us on Friday, October 23, when we welcome Chef Alexander Fields of RHYZ (.xyx) to Barrel Heart for a six-course tasting menu exploring contemporary Afro-Caribbean flavours, paired with our b**rs.

RHYZ is a Toronto-based supper club founded by Chef Alex and Julia Clarke, bringing together Alex’s cooking and Julia’s background in w**e and hospitality to create intimate, collaborative dining experiences.

Originally from Montreal, Alex began his career at JW Marriott The Rosseau Muskoka before making his way to Vancouver, where he spent several years working alongside some incredible chefs. Alex then went on to open Henry’s Restaurant in Toronto, which received Michelin recognition, before appearing on Top Chef Canada Season 11.

Alex later opened Lucia in Los Angeles, a restaurant celebrating modern Caribbean cuisine. Today, through RHYZ, he continues to honour his roots with contemporary Afro-Caribbean cooking which we are fortunate to share during this special dinner.

For details about the menu and to purchase tickets, see the link in our bio. Seating is limited.

We are so grateful to be awarded our second consecutive MICHELIN Guide (official) Bib Gourmand at Barrel Heart.

This recognition is owing to our kitchen and front of house teams who work so hard, every day, to bring our collective vision of good food, drink, and culture to our Dundas neighbourhood.

A special thanks to the Ontario farmers and producers with whom we’ve shaken hands and chatted about the harvest, and who provide us with world-class ingredients to fill our glasses and our plates.

And of course, thank you to our guests who give us the privilege to realize what we want to see more of in the world – exceptional dishes from the minds of Chef Mitch and his team to pair with our farmhouse b**r.

We remain incredibly grateful to you all.

Honoured to be included in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide (official) for the Toronto and surrounding region! Congrats to chef Mitchell Gatschuff (Mitchell Gatschuff) and his kitchen team for another recognition, and to all the restaurants in this year’s guide.

We have been enamoured with low-intervention, Ontario w**es ever since we first started offering w**e at Barrel Heart.

After a busy summer in the taproom, we took our crew down to w**e country to meet three of our favourite w**e producers in our own backyard.

RR81 (RR81), Pearl Morissette (Pearl Morissette Winery) and Therianthropy (Tyler-w**e) all make top-tier w**es that showcases the great terroir of the Niagara Peninsula – although this was far from an exhaustive tour to all our w**emaker friends.

Connecting with the people and land deepens our love and understanding of the artistry of producers that we showcase in our taproom, while giving our team a chance to unwind in the countryside, laugh, dance and celebrate what we’ve built together.

A special thanks to our hosts for welcoming us wholeheartedly and their warm hospitality.
