Nestled in the heart of downtown Toronto, the Beer Academy features a small-batch craft brewery, tasting room and beer shop, and an inviting beer café where guests can relax with their favourite pint. The venue also features an experiential event space that includes a sensory tasting bar, beer-lover’s library and a tribute to the history of the world’s greatest beverage. With a focus on education
and enlightenment, the establishment has a total of 9,000 square feet dedicated to beer-related events, plus state-of-the-art training facilities including a teaching kitchen. Fresh, hand-crafted ales brewed on-site range from the classic to the adventurous, and include seasonals, unique one-offs and collaboration brews. Through the tasting room and beer shop, all of the beers brewed on-site are available to sample and take home in quart-size bottles and growlers. Unique to Toronto, the growlers are filled to order at an innovative counter-pressure growler station that ensures the beer tastes fresh – and stays fresh for months – when kept sealed in a refrigerator. Guided tours of the brewery are available upon request; leaving with a greater appreciation for the love of beer (plus a couple quarts or a growler) seems inevitable
Why We Are Here:
At the Beer Academy, we think beer is extraordinary. We get excited when we talk about beer, and are continually amazed by its versatility and variety. We are proud of its history, energized by its current craft movement and look forward to playing a part of its future. Here is a place where beer knowledge is shared, glasses are raised and thirsts are satisfied. Beer Appreciation, not just for our own, lives here.
