Perhaps it&#8217;s our British roots or a reflection of our northern &#8220;terroir&#8221;-after all, western Canada is one of the best places in the world to grow the six-row malting barley that goes into a great beer. But we&#8217;ve come a long way from Bob and Doug&#8217;s two-fours of stubby brown bottles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Top spots for beer &amp; breweries in Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our love affair with suds has birthed a new generation of beer aficionados, and some truly fine brewmasters who make their natural, unpasteurized &#8220;real beer&#8221; with nothing more than water, malted barley, yeast and hops.

The Bushwakker logo-complete with Canada Goose-is an original Joe Fafard, and the local artist still pops in for a pint of Stubblejumper Pilsner or a blackberry mead, made with Lumsden Valley honey. Pair either with the brewpub&#8217;s pizza, burgers or Saskatchewan-style starters (perogies or cabbage rolls, anyone?).<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.millstreetbrewpub.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mill Street Brewpub<\/a>, Toronto, ON:<\/strong> Toronto&#8217;s historic Distillery District is home to this popular brewpub, named Canadian Brewery of the Year for two years running. Imagine what this original Gooderham &amp; Worts tankhouse might have looked like when it was distilling whiskey here a century ago, while sipping the house Original Organic Lager or famed Tankhouse Pale Ale, alongside a feast of Beer-b-Que ribs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spinnakers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub<\/a>, Victoria, BC:<\/strong> Canada&#8217;s oldest brewpub is one of the nicest places in the city to enjoy locally inspired cuisine. Try the wild salmon fish &#8216;n chips (served with the house-made malt vinegar) or an AAA steak, paired with a beefy Tsarist Imperial Stout. This pioneering pub, located on the harbour, also operates a lovely guesthouse.<\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.markjamesgroup.com\/yaletown.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/images\/articles\/borntobrew.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Yaletown Brewing Company\" title=\"Yaletown Brewing Company\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" align=\"right\" \/>Yaletown Brewing Company<\/a>, Vancouver, BC:<\/strong> Brewpubs and old warehouse districts are made for each other, and Yaletown Brewing is a popular gathering place in this enclave of trendy loft living.
