What to Expect at Participating Breweries

The Brew Pass includes an eclectic mix of breweries, each showcasing its own style, story and brewing techniques. Well-loved spots such as Bellwoods Brewery, Steam Whistle, Amsterdam Brewhouse and Left Field Brewery sit alongside unique small-scale brewers carving out their own niche.

Many locations boast inviting patios, open-concept taprooms and pet-friendly areas. The atmosphere ranges from relaxed and rustic to modern and energetic, ensuring every stop delivers a distinct experience. Tastings vary by venue—from single pours to curated flights—allowing you to sample a broad range of styles throughout your journey.
