i joined the 30 minute tour of the mill street pub microbrewery at the distillery district last sunday, and got to try these great european style beer at the bar. (the pretzel was also awesome, perfect with beer!)

Mill Street Organic Helles Bock
Cobblestone Stout
Mill St Wit Beer
Mill St Fruit Beer
Mill ST Vanilla Stout


i also made sure that i don't go home empty handed. i treated myself with a six-pack of more european style beer. i deserve it. i had a crazy week at work.

stock ale - a golden export-stye ale made from only malt and hops, no fillers or adjuncts. the malt's natural sweetness is perfectly balanced by the bitterness derived from the hops.

original organic lager - a pure, refreshing european style beer. batch-crafted from the finest organic ingredients, it takes two to three times longer to brew than ordinary beer. light and crisp, it is cold-aged for 5 smooth weeks, creating a creamy, soft palate with a distinctively clean finish.

mill street tankhouse ale - a deliciously complex and spicy ale. we use a staggering amount of hops and five different malts to produce a rich, fiery pale ale, copper-red in colour, and truly satisfying in flavour.

betelgeuse belgian style tripel - belgian tripels are a style of strong golden ales traditionally produced by vocational (Trappist) monks. betelgeuse has pear, peach, apple, citrus, clove, and bubble notes and starts out sweet but finishes quite dry. at 8.5% alcohol/volume it is devilishly strong.

mill street porter - a wonderfully sinful blend of balzac's own dark-roasted coffee, brewed to perfection with a full-bodied traditional porter. many are surprised by this delicious and satisfying combination.

lemon tea beer - a remarkable wheat beer infused with a beldn of orange pekoe and earl grey teas. it pours a light amber coulor and will charm you with its sublime tea flavour and subtle lemon twist. a truly canadian take on one of europe's newest beer styles.


so far, i think mill street has the best selection of european style beer in toronto.
i'm already planning for a return trip. hehe.
