TORONTO, ON – Heritage Toronto has announced the upcoming presentation of a plaque “commemorating the city-building legacy” of Joseph Bloor, the founder of one of Toronto’s earliest breweries.
Well known in Victorian Toronto as a prominent businessman, landowner, and philanthropist, Bloor operated his brewery from 1830 to 1843 in the Rosedale Valley near the intersection of Sherbourne Street and First Concession Road, the latter now known as Bloor Street.
The plaque honouring Bloor and his legacy will be unveiled at 117 Bloor St. E. on Thursday August 31st at 12:00 noon. Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $10 to support the work of Heritage Toronto.
For more details and to RSVP, see the event announcement on the Heritage Toronto website.

- Greg C. is drinking a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
