Gonna be stationed in this suburban wasteland for the next 10 days. BA has nothing listed; RB shows two LCBOs. Are there any local bars that serve craft beer here? If not, it looks like West 50 is my closest option.

Was at an Irish Pub a week or so ago that had a couple of Mill Street beers (Organic & Tankhouse) and one or two other half decent beers among the typical Irish taps. It is called Ned Divines.

West 50 isn't exactly around the corner but it is the best thing in Mississauga...

Nothing really in Milton other than the aforementioned Ned's which has some Mill St.. The home brew of Ivy Arms is apparently a Nicklebrook beer but wouldn't say it's anything to make plans to see.

Parts of Oakville and Burlington are closer than Mississauga.

Can't help with anything actually in Milton, but if you are in Cambridge to see Matt it's only 20 more mins to Waterloo. :wink:
There is the Shepherd's Crook in Georgetown (20mins)... nothing earth shattering but OK.

If you have the time the Wooly (40 mins) is a sure bet.

The new Buffalo Wild Wings, on Winston Churchill, just south of the 401 is very close for you.
They have a few craft taps- King Vienna Lager, Barking Squirrel, Steam Whistle, Sam Adams.
I had a chat with a bartender and a manager and they mentioned that they have a few rotating taps for micros, along with a whole bunch of standard stuff that they have to keep on. They even had Golden Horsehoe in a bottle, so I told them they could do a lot better from Great Lakes.
Great place to see sports. During Leaf games, you get 2 pints and 10 wings for $14.99.

Thanks for the help folks. Buffalo Wild Wings and Ned Divines sound like they're worth a look, and the other recos will come in handy this weekend. Cheers!

There is now a new place in town @ Derry and Hwy 25/Bronte... Rad Brothers.

Apparently have Mill St., flying monkeys, delirium tremens and then some plain old Molson ones.

I haven't been yet but it sounds promising for Milton!
