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 Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a CAMP-OUT PILS Unfiltered by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trappist Ale by Spencer Brewery at King & DufferinStrong fruit preserve notes - esp. pineapple & peach - that lean a bit sweeter than my preference, but still improved from early days.
