Toronto’s food and beer scenes are on point these days. Never has there been more options, more variety, and more experimentation happening on both fronts. Toronto has long been a foodie-city, the multiculturalism allows tastebuds to travel the word without leaving the city limits. But in the past few years, craft breweries have been popping up in increasing numbers. In fact, these days it seems like a new brewery is opening up each month, and no one is complaining might I add.

Torontonians love beer, but not just any ’ole beer. We love good beer, smartly crafted beer, beer that makes us stop and think about what we’ve just tasted. We also take our food very seriously. So, when you can find a place that brews great beer AND serves exceptional food, people take notice.

In a quest to showcase the best brewpubs in Toronto, those places that brew their own beer and serve food, I conducted a survey back in March. While I could have put this list together myself, I wanted those who know the brewpub scene in the city the best to have their say.

So what have they chosen as the top 5 brewpubs in Toronto? Go on and watch the video! Then come back and read about some awesome giveaways. It’s ok, I’ll wait…

How Were the Top 5 Determined?

Back in March, I ran a survey for 2 weeks to determine the top 5 brewpubs in Toronto. The survey was made up of 10 questions and each question carried a weighted value. Depending on the number of votes a brewpub received, those votes were multiplied by the weight of the question. The total points for each brewpub were then tallied and the 5 brewpubs with the most points were named the top 5 brewpubs in Toronto. Below is a complete list of the questions, the weight, and the top 5 results for each question.
