I live in Brampton and have been wanting to check out the place for quite some time--maybe I should. Their website still speaks of the Old Mill Lager, but maybe that's made offsite? Anyway, you can find it at http://www.tracksbrewpub.com

Okay, so I went there. The selection was huge, including many Belgians.
