Brewery Market at Wychwood Barns
After reading BlogTO’s story on the Brewery Market that’s happening every weekend this summer at Wychwood Barns, I decided to break out my bike on Sunday and head up to check it out. It’s a spot I’ve been meaning to explore for a while, and this was a great excuse to go. One of the things I love most about Toronto is the wealth of historic areas and buildings that are scattered throughout the city. Wychwood Barns was built in the early 1900′s and served as a streetcar house/repair centre until the 1980s. Since then, the space has been redeveloped and now houses Artscape and the Stop Community Food Centre.
Each weekend, the market features a different Ontario brewer. On Sunday, they were featuring Denison’s Brewing Company and had their Weissbier and Dunkel on tap. On such a warm summer day, I opted for the wheat beer ($5 for a pint). They were also cooking up pizzas made with veggies grown at the barns in their outdoor pizza bake oven.
I couldn’t resist getting some artsy shots of the main hallway:
The Brewery Market is taking place most Sundays this summer from 1-5PM. So far, they have featured Denison’s and Flying Monkeys. Next weekend, Amsterdam Brewery is on the docket.
