Small Batches, Big Character

In our kitchen and at the bar, we’re constantly looking for ways to bring the best of Durham Region to our guests. Whether it’s a plate of locally grown greens or a perfectly poured pint, we’re always looking to showcase the best of Durham, and when it comes to local beer, there’s one name we return to time and again: Town Brewery.

Located just 20 minutes away in Whitby, Ontario, Town Brewery has been crafting standout beers since 2017, blending small-batch quality with a deep-rooted passion for community. From the moment we first connected with their team, it was clear that their values aligned beautifully with ours: intentional ingredients, strong local ties, and a product that’s both approachable and exceptional.

A Brewery Built on Connection

What makes Town Brewery special isn’t just the beer, it’s the people and purpose behind it. Since opening their doors in November 2017, the team at Town has worked with one clear mission: “make better beer and build a stronger community.” That spirit is evident in everything they do.

As co-founder Jeff explained during our visit, “You can’t walk into a big plant and talk to the person making your beer. But here, it’s different. You’re connected to it.” And it’s true, there’s something powerful about knowing the hands (and shoulders) behind what’s in your glass. That sense of connection is what makes them more than just a brewery; they’re a hub for local culture, creativity, and community-building in Whitby and beyond.

From Grain to Glass

Every beer at Town Brewery starts with thoughtful ingredients and a commitment to small-batch craft. We got to peek behind the scenes with head brewer Michael, who walked us through the process – from selecting the grains that give each brew its body and haze, to “graining out,” a hands-on and steamy step that’s as gritty as it is essential.

Town keeps four core beers on tap year-round:

Alongside these staples, they regularly release seasonal and limited-edition beers that showcase their creativity, love for experimentation, and respect for high-quality ingredients.

From start to finish, every pour from Town is made with care and best enjoyed with food, friends, and fresh air.
