Mill St. Looking to Open Brewpub in Ottawa
Mill St. Looking to Open Brewpub in Ottawa
I heard on CBC Radio Ottawa this morning that Mill St. has submitted plans to City Hall to turn the site of the old Mill restaurant into a small brewpub (they mentioned 40 kegs a week). Sounds like it's just in the planning and permits stage, but that seems like a great place for a brewpub if it happened. It would be great to have another one in town, and also pretty nice to have access to some more Mill St. beers, beyond what we can get in the LCBO.
A friend forwarded me a link this morning from the CBC website. Here it is:

A Toronto microbrewery has signed a lease to set up a restaurant and brewery at the site of the old Mill restaurant along the Ottawa River.
The Mill Street Brewery, a popular brewer in Toronto that sells its beer at the Beer Store and the LCBO, unveiled its plans when it filled out a planning rationale and architectural drawings with the City of Ottawa.
It wants to brew about 40 kegs of beer a week, offer beer tastings and operate a large restaurant at the site of the 165-year old stone structure between the Portage Bridge and Lebreton Flats, the National Capital Commission confirmed Friday.
The brewer signed a 10-year lease with an option to renew with the NCC, which owns the land. The NCC had put out a request for proposals for the site after the previous tenant, the Mill Restaurant, closed in 2007.

Amen. It would give the Ottawa beer scene a much-needed boost. With any luck, it will either force Clocktower to raise the bar or will put them under.jayB wrote:I heard on CBC Radio Ottawa this morning that Mill St. has submitted plans to City Hall to turn the site of the old Mill restaurant into a small brewpub (they mentioned 40 kegs a week).

Just spoke with Steve Abrams about this and they're pretty excited about joining the other breweries/brewpubs in the Ottawa area. More choice of Ottawa people is always a great thing...

CBC Ottawa interview this week with Joel Manning
http://www.cbc.ca/ottawamorning/2011/11 ... et-brewery
Joel talks about 3 new beers to be brewed there.
Irish Red Ale - flavoured with maple syrup (which he admits is "goofy")
Brown Ale - Biere de Garde
Cream Ale

Opening "early in the new year"
I predict this place will kick ass in spite of these (IMO) odd initial beers.
