They are working on it and hope to have a full time retail open soon. From their website:

GENERAL INFO

The retail store at 126 Ossington Ave. will operate as a pop-up shop (depending on stock levels) throughout the fall of 2012. We recently ordered the rest of our fermenting tanks to complete the brewery and add capacity for the retail bottle shop. The new tanks should arrive mid November which should allow us to move to regular retail hours by mid December 2012.

We will have a regular growler (1.89L refillable glass jug) program, along with 650ml bottles, once the retail store goes to full time hours.

126 Ossington attaches to the north of the 124 Ossington brewery/restaurant building. Currently our “retail area” is basically a construction zone that we’ve added a register to. It aint pretty, but it works for now! The space will be getting a facelift throughout November.

Please email info@bellwoodsbrewery.com if you would like to be notified when we have retail sales planned.

STORE DATES/UPDATES

Our next retail sale is Saturday, Nov 3 from 2 pm - 5 pm. We will be selling limited quantities of the following products:

- Monogamy (Calypso), American Pale Ale, 6.4% ABV (650ml bottles)

- Muggleweisse, Sour Brown Ale, 3.9% ABV (650ml bottles)

- Farmhouse Saison, 6.0% ABV (650ml bottles, 1.89L growlers)

- Fall Saison, 6.0% ABV (650ml bottles)

I'm looking forward to their Saison beers in the 'bomber' size bottle format.

They post to twitter several days before they add bottle sale dates to their website, so it's a good way to keep tabs on it

Lots of saisons at todays sale.

Anyone go? You get some Farmhouse Belgian?
Can't wait to try the dry hopped one. Hopefully the Bravo pale is a step up from calypso. Still think the Summit edition was the tastiest.

Yeah I was there today. Got some Fall and Farmhouse saison, and some Muggleweisse.

Went through a bomber each of the Calypso and Bravo tonight, and I preferred the latter. It has a nice earthiness to it that's really interesting, as well as an odd but pleasant hint of coconut.

Agreed that the Summit has been the best so far, but I've still enjoyed the whole series, and look forward to it continuing.

The Petal Head is my kind of saison. Dry hopping really worked.

The Petal Head is great. I feel pretty spoiled having this around the corner from my house. I can't wait until the retail store is fully open!

well is that supposed to happen??

heebes · Post by **heebes** » Fri Nov 30, 2012 7:38 am

Yeah it will happen, they were putting in the new tanks that will triple capacity this week. I'd guess January before the first brew is finished in them and production increases.

The posted a little while ago that it would be up and running in mid-December, but I agree with you that January seems more reasonable.

We should totally enjoy this place in this 'golden era' before it's a big operation. Nothing beats the touch of brewing small-scale.

Not that I believe they will turn into Mill Steet, I think they are more the Dieu du Ciel! model with across-the-board quality held as more important than big draught accounts.

With better beer than DDC, or is that sacrilege?
