Canada, ON: Calgary’s Big Rock Brewery to open brewpub in Toronto in 2015

Calgary-based Big Rock Brewery has announced plans to open a brewpub in Toronto in the first half of 2015, Canadian Beer News reported on August 11.

Located at 60 Atlantic Avenue in Toronto’s Liberty Village neighbourhood, the restaurant and brewery will be Big Rock’s second out-of-province operation, following the Big Rock Urban Brewery & Eatery that is set to open in Vancouver later this year.

“The Liberty Village site, at the corner of Liberty Street and Atlantic Avenue, will provide a great opportunity to share our beers and demonstrate our beer innovation,” said Bob Sartor, Big Rock CEO, in a statement. “Over the past two years, we have produced over 40 unique and different beers, but very few have found their way into Ontario. With this brewpub, we will be able to showcase our beers and ciders and share them with everyone.”

Coincidentally, this new Big Rock location is situated just steps from a new outpost of The 3 Brewers brewpub chain that is currently under construction at 99 Atlantic Avenue, with an opening date TBC.
