Duggan's Brewery Parkdale

Sip on some craft beer at Toronto's top-tier microbreweries

If there were such a thing as a beer jedi, Michael Duggan would be it. The brewmaster of over 15 years is Canada’s most decorated beer bon vivant. The it-doesn’t-get-more-local-than-this brewery uses Ontario-grown hops and food ingredients on its New Canadian-style menu. Growlers, six packs and single tall cans are all available at the bottle shop beside the low-lit restaurant. Those particularly fraught with local pride will gravitate to the Parkdale bomber – named for Duggan’s West Queen West site – but the most popular option is likely the 100 Mile Ale (amber), or the piney Duggan’s IPA.
