I hope this is better executed than the Amsterdam brewpub. Yeah have some of the flagship beers on, hopefully brought in from the main facility, while the on-premises equipment should be used for experimentation (and be well stocked!) and anything that proves popular scale up for broader distribution at the Etobicoke location.

I'm excited to check it out post-pandemic.

Something I would love to see is the ability to pre-order some of the one offs / new releases etc for pick up at this location vs trekking out to Etobicoke on transit.

Yeah, as I understand, Amsterdam contracted the kitchen out to the Gaby's people to run. I've just never been impressed with that service or food. Location, environment (when not too noisy) and the beer have been great though.

I hope they resist the urge to fill the place with screens and have loud sportscasters yelling and blabbering at everyone.

I wonder if there will be an octopus tank?

This is great news. And it seems like a really well thought-out space. The area could use something like this!

Keeping a live octopus in a tank is probably not cool. Painting a giant octopus mural ON a beer tank would be though!

I hope they use a bunch of those coat hooks under the bar or something.

An octopus dish would be the very first thing I’d put on the food menu.

I recall being told, perhaps incorrectly, that they had an octopus at the brewery. I always imagined it sneaking out at night for samples.

On the other hand, it was probably just a joke about the mess of hoses on the floor.

I wouldn't put it past them to do that. I figure at some point the octopuses, dolphins and crows will get together at some point to devise a plan to get rid of us.

Yeah that would be cool too.
