Side Launch Brewing Company

Ontario microbreweries just beyond the city limits

Named for a bizarre Collingwood tradition of a sideways-launching ship in the region’s historical shipyards, this microbrewery’s decorated brews are well known across Toronto: the authentic Bavarian-style wheat beer (yellow can), the balanced pale ale (blue can) and the Munich-style dark lager (grey can). If you’re passing through on your way to a cottage or ski trip, stop in and pick up a flat of 'em, or a few growlers for an awesome host’s gift or treat for yourself.
