Ok it's a warm, hot, no humid summer day in Toronto, and a cold beer right about now would really hit the spot. Or would it?

Well in the old days the water for that beer came from many different places along the shoreline. The Don Valley and our sparkling pristine creeks helped build an industry, but over time pollution built up. And for one body of water, it was the worst. Put it this way, if I refuse to swim in the Don River I might have to refuse a cold one from that same Don River as it was the most disgusting river of all, pollution wise I mean!

However let's play detective and find some interesting old relics of Toronto's beer industry and there were plenty of them and in some very interesting places. The old Ryerson Campus now Metropolitan University was the site of an early Toronto Beer company, or that the twists and turns of Dundas Street was because of the making of beer, and it wasn't because of the alcohol.

Toronto loved beer, and this walk is a love letter to that industry. An industry that goes back deep into the 19th century, and tells the tale of the Irish and Canada brilliantly.

Our walk begins at the centre of Victoria Street and Gould in the heart of old Ryerson University. We end our walk at Parliament and Front Street!
