Description
Explore Toronto’s past through local pubs, craft beer, and quirky history. Visit St. Lawrence Market & the Distillery District on this small group tour (max 12 guests).
Step into Toronto’s past and present on a small group beer tour (max 12 guests) that mixes local craft brews with colourful history and character. Begin in Old Toronto, where your guide — a true beer enthusiast — shares stories of cholera, rebellions, and the muddy origins of the city once called York.
Pop into historic pubs for a curated selection of local beers, learning how beer has helped Torontonians through war, depression, and hockey heartbreak. Explore the buzzing St. Lawrence Market, where you’ll taste local favourites (yes, the mustard!) and get a feel for Toronto’s diverse palate.
Finally, stroll the cobbled streets of the Distillery District, a former whiskey hub turned artsy, photogenic hangout. With cold beer, quirky facts, and a local’s perspective, this is history as it should be — fun, flavourful, and best shared with good company.
