Steam Whistle Brewing

255 Bremner Blvd, Toronto, ON, M5V3M9

Rated this place:

The good beer folks!: The "good beer folks" over at Steam Whistle have been brewing Canada's premium pilsner since 2000, when 3 former employees of the Upper Canada Brewery set up shop within the historic walls of a former Canadian National Railroad locomotive roundhouse. Today the brewery is unique for focusing their attention solely on one style of beer. Their unpasteurized golden pilsner is made from only 4 all-natural ingredients, and is one of Toronto's most beloved brands.Located directly next door to the Roger's Centre (formerly the Skydome), informative and refreshing tours of the brewery are offered on the half hour, 7 days a week. Last tours run at 5pm Monday to Saturday and until 4pm on Sundays, so let a cool glass of Steam Whistle be your reward after a busy day of sightseeing around Toronto.

LCBO Wine Appreciation Classes

10 Scrivener Square, Toronto, Ontario, M4W3Y9

Rated this place:

Learning about wine: The Summerhill LCBO (and other locations) offer a number of great wine appreciation classes for novice wine tasters, including a general class, an old-world wine class and a new-world wine class. Each class is four weeks long and provides a great overview of its topic. Makes a good introduction to wine and is a fun thing to do with a friend. Classes sell out quickly so be sure to sign up early. For more experienced wine tasters, the LCBO also offers single-day tutored tastings. Plus they run other tasting events (like single malt scotch tasting and beer & cheese tasting) and demonstration cooking classes (like a fish class and a classical Indian food class.) See http://www.lcbo.com/learn/winescourses.shtml for full details.
