Burdock Brewery
We’re a small Toronto brewery on a mission to make delicious beers, from easy-drinking classics like our Helles Lager and our Pilsner, to beer-wine hybrids like our annual BUMO, to dry-hopped fruited sours like Cherry B and NULA, and plenty in between. Enjoy Burdock beer and a menu of seasonal dishes at our Bloordale restaurant; take away beer, wine, and snacks from our in-person beer shop; and order beer, merch, and more from our online beer shop for delivery across Ontario.
