It’s been a lot of fun conducting this research project (and sampling all these fantastic beers!).  Since part four was published, I have learned about additional examples of connections between Ontario railways and craft beer. There are also some examples I’ve uncovered that didn’t quite fit into the four categories I created. I decided to create a fifth “bonus” section that features additional beers and craft ciders with some kind of railway reference, craft beverages with reference to streetcars, and breweries with an interesting but indirect connection to a railway  

Do you ever think you’re out of beer but then find one hiding in the back of the fridge? This article is the equivalent of that! Let’s bring this project to the end of the line.

Beers That Were Recently Discovered By The Author:

100 Steps Stout, Royal City Brewing, Guelph, ON

Guelph is one of multiple large communities in Southwestern Ontario along the former Grand Trunk Railway mainline to Sarnia. The route was completed through the centre of the downtown core in 1856, and the large GTR/CNR station still stands as part of the Guelph Central Station transit hub. The portion of this mainline today between Georgetown and London East is referred to as the Guelph Subdivision. Another dominant feature of the line is the large trestle carrying the rails over the Speed River, multiple city streets, and the former CPR Goderich Subdivision (now operated by the Goderich & Exeter Railway).

Royal City Brewing is located on the corner of Victoria and York Road in the east end of Guelph, right next to the former Goderich Subdivision. Their 100 Steps Stout is named for a pedestrian overpass located east of the Guelph Central Station and trestle. People looking to cross the tracks to reach Grove and Metcalf streets can safely do so by ascending the 100 steps between the road and the bridge. The bridge also serves as an excellent vantage point for railfans looking to film the numerous VIA, GO, and CN trains passing through the city.    

This beer’s label features a diesel locomotive and freight car passing underneath the aforementioned bridge. The locomotive is similar in appearance to a CN GP40-2W, which can be observed leading freights under the bridge today due to CN re-acquiring the Guelph Subdivision from the Goderich & Exeter Railway in 2018. Royal City’s beers are highly recommended by myself. While reduced from what it used to be, Guelph continues to be an interesting location to observe railway operations in Ontario.

Supercontinental Ale, Northumberland Hills Brewing, Cobourg, ON

I’m kicking myself for missing this beer since I’ve had it before and enjoyed it! Supercontinental Ale is named after the Canadian National Railway’s transcontinental train of the same name. This train was created in 1955 as a direct competitor for Canadian Pacific’s transcontinental train “The Canadian”. The Supercontinental began its westward journey as two separate trains departing Toronto and Montreal respectively. Both segments would join at Capreol and operate combined the rest of the way to Vancouver. The opposite occurred on the return trip east from Vancouver. Neither segment of the Supercontinental ran through Cobourg, which is located on a different mainline between Toronto and Montreal.

Cobourg does have a rich railway history regardless. Three mainline routes once passed through town operated by the Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, and Canadian Northern Railways respectively. All three railways built stations in Cobourg giving residents plenty of options for train travel to Toronto, Montreal, or Ottawa. The Canadian Northern route is long abandoned, while the Canadian Pacific route is freight only. Freight and passenger service continues along Canadian National’s busy Kingston Subdivision. Cobourg was also the southern terminus for the Cobourg and Peterborough Railway, one of Ontario’s first resource-based branchlines. Completed in 1854, this ill-fated route’s first iteration was short-lived due to its decision to cross nearby Rice Lake via a massive trestle. The lake’s ice flows constantly damaged the trestle, making it inoperable. Service continued through a second iteration as a combined rail and water route between Cobourg and Blairton, but the rails were eventually abandoned by the early twentieth century.   

A smaller brewery with a large selection of great beers and friendly staff, Northumberland Hills Brewery is one of my favourite spots. Definitely recommend stopping by if you find yourself in Cobourg

K&P 1883 Amber Ale, Calabogie Brewing Company, Calabogie, ON

K&P 1883 Amber Ale makes reference to the Kingston & Pembroke Railway. It was built through Calabogie in 1883 and operated between its namesake communities. It later came under the ownership of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and served as a resource line to ship timber and other goods from the Ottawa Valley south to the ports at Kingston. The railway was also commonly referred to as the “Kick & Push” due to the slow trip and rough route the rails took through the middle of Eastern Ontario. The route was built and abandoned in various stages, with all rails being removed as of today. One community of note along the way is Sharbot Lake, where the K&P met the Ontario & Quebec mainline. Work has been done by the Central Frontenac Rail Heritage Society to create a historical display containing historical placards and equipment including a preserved CNR caboose, since repainted with Canadian Pacific script. They have adopted the colloquial name of the K&P on their website.

Calabogie Brewing Company sits across the river from the route the K&P took through town. K&P 1883 Amber pours a rich amber colour true to its name. The can features what appears to be a 4-6-0 style steam locomotive on the front. Whether intentional or not, the can is a similar red as the Canadian Pacific’s current colour scheme. I have yet to make it to Calabogie to try this beer, but I hope to visit soon. A significant portion of the K&P is accessible as a trail, and would be a fun adventure when the weather improves.

Grand Trunk Red Ale, Concession Road Brewing Company, Jarvis, ON

Concession Road Brewing Company is located just east of the intersection of Highways 3 and 6 in downtown Jarvis in an old fire hall. Grand Trunk Red Ale is true to the style of a red ale with malty flavour, notes of caramel, and a dark red/brown hue. The use of Grand Trunk in the beer’s name is appropriate given the town’s history as a junction for rails on the Grand Trunk network.

The rails of the Canada Air Line (Great Western Railway) and the Hamilton & Lake Erie Railway both reached Jarvis in 1873 at the north end of town east of what is Highway 6 today. Both later came under the ownership of the Grand Trunk Railway, and later the Canadian National Railway. Jarvis became a key junction point for passengers looking to travel between Buffalo and Detroit, for vacationers from Hamilton looking to visit Lake Erie, and any other combination of the above. The town’s two stations were eventually combined into one structure, with the most recent station being built in 1906. Like many communities, service was gradually scaled back with the last train passing through the area in 1978. In later years, Jarvis’ station housed various businesses before being moved in 2016 from its original location to a site south of town on Highway 6 where it stands as part of a historical display. The original station site now serves as a Tim Hortons restaurant.

Another beer and brewery I have yet to visit, I am hoping that my travels take me to the area soon for some beers and photographs.

Pearson Express IPA, Henderson Brewing Company, Toronto, ON

The Union Pearson (UP) Express began operations in 2015. It provides direct passenger service between Toronto’s Union Station and Pearson International Airport, with stops at Bloor and Weston GO Stations. It is the quickest option for travellers looking to get to the city from the airport, and avoids the congestion that plagues Toronto’s streets and highways year-round. It is built on dedicated tracks only used by UP Express trains, preventing it from being delayed by other passenger and freight trains. This was further enhanced when the former West Toronto Diamond crossover was altered to a grade separated underpass.

Henderson Brewing Company has commemorated this unique train with its Pearson Express IPA. It has a vibrant orange-yellow hue and full 6.5% ABV, true to the IPA style. A stylized version of the train appears on the can coloured similar to that of the beer. This differs from the actual train with its distinct dark green and silver colour scheme.

Breweries with an Indirect Connection to A Railway

Black Gold Brewery, Petrolia, ON

Located southeast of Sarnia, Black Gold Brewery’s name makes reference to the town’s history as an oil deposit. The rural location of the town and lack of decent roads made it tough to haul oil from the deposits to the nearby Great Western Railway mainline to the north. Local residents responded by constructing their own railway to connect Petrolia to the GWR mainline. The short spur line was completed in 1866 and became part of the GWR network. It was later acquired by the Grand Trunk Railway and later the Canadian National Railway. The rails were all removed by 1997. 

While they have no known beers that make reference to the railway, Black Gold has beers of all kinds to suit anyone’s needs.  This includes a smoked porter, imperial IPA, red ale, vanilla pale ale, and much more. Visitors to the brewery can also check out Petrolia’s former train station.  It stands preserved across from the brewery and is in use as a library.

Muskoka Brewery, Bracebridge, ON

While Muskoka Brewery has many different types of beers available, they have no known railway related beers. Their brewing journey first began in 1996, and they moved to their current location on Muskoka Beach Road in 2012. This move allowed them to significantly increase the amount of beer they could make, and features a brewing area, taproom, and outdoor patio. The rails of the northern segment of the Canadian National Newmarket Subdivision curve past the brewery on its route between Washago and North Bay. 

The building containing Muskoka Brewery was formerly owned and operated by Alcan Canada, which primarily manufactured copper wire. Alcan reportedly closed their Bracebridge facility in 2002. Satellite imagery shows an abandoned railway spur curving from the building to the mainline. It would appear that the factory previously received rail service, but the siding sits abandoned today with the switch off the mainline removed.

It is not believed that Muskoka Brewery has ever received freight service from trains, however the exact date of the siding’s abandonment is unknown. The idea of Muskoka Brewery reactivating the siding in order to ship beer north and south by train is an exciting thought!

Beers that make reference to Streetcars

Downtown Brown, Amsterdam Brewing Company, Toronto, ON

One of the more established breweries in this series, Amsterdam Brewing Company lists itself as “Toronto’s original brewpub”. They were originally located on John Street, the same street that our museum stands at the foot of today. Amsterdam has expanded operations overtime and has operated facilities at various locations across the city. Their “Amsterdam Brewhouse” is located on the shore of Lake Ontario along Queens Quay. It is there where I first sampled Downtown Brown.

Downtown Brown is a brown ale brewed in the British style. It pours a dark hue similar to that of cola. The flavour is not overly sweet, with a noticeable nutty taste. It also has notes of chocolate consistent with their use of chocolate malt. While similar to a stout or porter in appearance, this beer is unmistakably true to the style of brown ale, a type of beer I really enjoy.

Downtown Brown’s label features a head-on image of a PCC (Presidents’ Conference Committee) street car commonly operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) throughout the twentieth century. These streetcars are easily distinguished by their long bodies with rounded ends, and in the case of the TTC, their cream coloured roofs with maroon or red coloured bodies depending on the year. The PCC style street cars were all retired by the mid nineties. Modern cars built by Bombardier can be seen traversing Toronto’s various streetcar routes today.

I reached out to the Halton County Railway Museum to learn more about the Downtown Brown reference to streetcars. One of their volunteers, Robert, was very helpful to my inquiry. It is not known if the PCC streetcars were ever referred to as “Downtown Brown”, but TTC streetcars have gone by various nicknames throughout their existence. One that caught my attention was “Boneshakers”, since Amsterdam brews a “Boneshaker IPA”, but seemingly not in relation to the streetcar. Robert also pointed out that at some point the streetcar on the Downtown Brown cans changed colour from red to brown, likely to match the name. It is not known what year that change was made.

Queen Street 501, Brickworks Ciderhouse, Toronto, ON

Queen Street 501 craft apple cider, created by Brickworks Ciderhouse, is the second beverage in this list to make reference to the TTC. The name is in reference to streetcar route 501, which travels across the City of Toronto along Queen Street. It currently makes thirty-one stops along its route between the Long Branch Loop at Long Branch GO Station and the Neville Park Loop in East Toronto. At nearly 25 kms long, it is one of the longest streetcar routes in the world. 

Brickworks is located on the southeast corner of Queen Street East and Broadway Avenue in Toronto. Conveniently, the 501 streetcar serves as a responsible transit option for patrons looking to visit the facility, with a scheduled stop across the street from Brickworks in both directions.

Queen Street 501 features a pre 1921 Toronto Railway Company streetcar on its can. The TRC was an earlier transit company that operated in Toronto before the days of the TTC. This cider pours a pale yellow and is lightly carbonated. It has a balanced level of sweetness and dryness, with noticeable apple taste. Local Ontario apples are used to make this cider.

Streetcar No. 351 Special, Walkerville Brewery, Windsor, ON

Walkerville Brewery is located across the street from the sprawling Hiram Walker & Sons Distillery. This distillery was referenced in part three of this series as the location that absorbed workers from the Corbyville distillery when it closed in 1989. This is referred to in the name of the distillery’s current owner, Corby Spirit and Wine. Many of the spirits commonly found at the LCBO come from this distillery.

Walkerville Brewery lists many beers available for purchase on their website, as well as many other past examples that are no longer available. One beer from the latter category is Streetcar No. 351 Special. This beer was a limited release beer designed to raise awareness and funds for the restoration of the City of Windsor Streetcar No. 351. It is a 10% ABV imperial stout aged in oak bourbon barrels for 351 days.

Streetcar No. 351 was one of many similar cars purchased to operate along Windsor’s streetcar rail network. This network was the first electric street railway to operate in Canada. It operated under many different names, but eventually became known as the Sandwich, Walkerville, and Amherstburg Railway during Streetcar No. 351’s days of operation. At its peak, the route ran between Amherstburg and Tecumseh with Windsor being the approximate midpoint. The route remained in operation until the thirties when it was abandoned and replaced by busses. While most equipment was sold and scrapped, Streetcar No. 351 escaped the scrappers torch and sat abandoned for many years until being acquired by the City of Windsor. In 2017 approval was given to restore the streetcar to its former glory, and the work appears to be ongoing as of today.

I have visited Walkerville once before and really enjoyed their product and facility. I highly recommend visiting there. The brewery and distillery sit within close proximity of Windsor’s VIA Rail station, so one could easily take a train from Toronto and be there in a few hours.

Brewpubs in Former Railway Buildings

CPR Tavern and Brewpub/The Ceeps, London ON

CPR Tavern and Brewpub was formerly known as CPR Hotel. It is located on the southwest corner of Richmond Street and Mill Street, and is one of many establishments that make up part of “Richmond Row”. The CPR Hotel was built in 1890, the same year the Canadian Pacific Railway opened what is known today as the Windsor Subdivision between London and Windsor. Three years later, the Canadian Pacific opened their new station just north of the hotel on the east side of Richmond Street, south of the tracks. The station closed to passengers in 1971, but continued to be used by freight crews as a dispatch office. In more recent years it served as The Keg Steakhouse and Bar, however today sits unoccupied but preserved on site. Given the close proximity of CPR Tavern to the station, it is very likely that passengers stayed there as part of their train travels, and that railway workers likely slipped over off work time for a cold pint!

CPR Tavern and Brewpub serves today as a food and entertainment complex along with neighbouring The Ceeps and Barney’s. The Ceeps is a particularly popular establishment for students at nearby Western University. I have yet to venture to this location to sample their craft beer selection, but have visited nearby Toboggan Brewing Company. Long CPR freight trains can still be seen passing nearby operating between Toronto and Windsor.

Longos Leaside/Corks Beer and Wine Bar, Toronto, ON

Many shoppers at Longos in the Leaside neighbourhood of Toronto likely don’t realize that locomotives once stood in the building where lemons stand today. That is because the building used to be a Canadian Northern Railway engine repair in the early twentieth century. More specific information about this repair shop can be found in this excellent article written by TRHA History Team member Adam Peltenburg.

The connection to craft beer is found through Corks Beer and Wine Bar, located within the same building. Here shoppers can stop for a beer or two after packing their groceries. They have a wide selection of Ontario craft beer from breweries all across the province, including Steamwhistle, which was featured in part one of this research project. Corks’ seasonal and featured taps change regularly ensuring one never gets bored of the selection.

To learn more about the selection at Corks Beer and Wine Bar, please click here

Tracks Brewpub, Brampton ON

Tracks Brewpub is located in the former Brampton Knitting Mill, which is situated only feet from the rails of the CNR Halton Subdivision. These rails belong to the former GTR mainline, whose history was referred to earlier in this article and in part four of this series. Patrons of this restaurant can enjoy a pint of Old Mill Lager, Tracks’ in-house beer, while CNR, VIA, and GO trains speed past in both directions. Old Mill Lager is described as a “non traditional ESB” (extra special bitter). A rich golden brown colour, it pours and drinks smooth with a balanced malt and hop level.

While no sidings remain today, the Brampton Knitting Mill likely received freight service from the railway, much like the numerous other industries that once populated Brampton. While most have closed and been torn down, this mill has a new life through craft beer and food.

Conclusion and Acknowledgments

I’d like to thank everyone for taking the time to read these five articles. It has been a fun journey exploring all of the Ontario craft beers and breweries who have connections or make references to railways in this province. The craft beer industry continues to grow each year with new beers and breweries hitting the market. I have done my best to try to find all possible references, however I recognize that I may have still missed some, or that others might be created after the completion of this project. If you know of an example that I have missed I’d love to learn about it. Feel free to contact me by email at danielallen.trombone@gmail.com. I look forward to connecting with you!

I want to acknowledge the contributions of fellow History Team member Andrew Jeanes. Andrew was the one who recommended I check out K&P 1883 Amber Ale, Grand Trunk Red Ale, and Henderson Express IPA. I’d also like to acknowledge the contributions of friend and fellow craft beer aficionado Malcolm Crawford, who brought my attention to CPR Tavern and Brewpub, Longos Leaside/Corks Beer and Wine Bar, and Tracks Brewpub. Lastly, I want to thank Brian MacLachlan for allowing the use of some of his collection of Ontario craft beer photos. All of this assistance and guidance has been greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
