Brewery

Canada's first Farmhouse-focused brewery offering Tasting Room, Tours, Food, Outdoor Patio & Events Space.

Grain&Grit has been in the works for well over a decade. For the longest time, it was just a pipe dream that would surface when we were drinking craft beer and fantasizing about changing our lives and starting a business together. It wasn't until Joe started home-brewing that this crazy idea of ours started to take on a life of it’s own. He found so much joy in the brewing process and in sharing his beer with our friends and family, that he knew it was how he wanted to spend his days. So, we started to take action. Once we found our building at 11 Ewen Road in Hamilton, Joe quit his job and shit started to get real! We hired a ridiculously wonderful human named Alex to be our head brewer and we all worked together to build Grain&Grit — from framing the walls to plumbing, to painting and everything in between. We finally opened our doors in October 2017 and we’re having a blast making beer and serving our amazing customers! We pushed ourselves way outside of our comfort zone to get here, and we’re hoping to inspire you to do the same. Or at the very least, we can provide you with a beer or two to enjoy while dreaming of your next big move.

Granite Brewery is a Restaurant and Brewery located in Midtown Toronto, and has been producing traditional ales for 30 years. The Granite Beer Store is open daily from 11:30AM-11:00PM, and local delivery and Ontario-wide shipping is available. We have free parking available for customers driving to our location. Parking entrance is located off of Mount Pleasant Avenue, just south of Granite Brewery on the east side of the street. The Granite Brewery was first established in Halifax in 1985, making it one of Canada's oldest microbreweries. We opened in Toronto in 1991 and now thirty years later, we produce an array of cask conditioned ales, draft, 473ml cans and specialty bottles - all brewed under our own roof. Our menu is available for take-out and dine-in and offers a broad range of traditional pub fare and seasonal items.

Greg Taylor, Cam Heaps and Greg Cromwell had been colleagues at one of Canada's premier microbreweries in the late 1980's and 90's, before it was bought out by a national brewer and closed down, like so many of Ontario’s independent breweries. As they sat around the campfire, the self-named "Three Fired Guys" dreamed of running their own brewery one day—one that would make beer to compete with the best in the world.
