C’est What Brewing

What is C’est What Brewing? Occupying the lower level of St. Lawrence Market at 93 Front St. E., C’est What Brewing brings the legacy of George Milbrandt’s pioneering 1988 craft beer establishment directly inside Toronto's historic landmark. The compact taproom combines working brewing tanks and live-edge wood counters with a breezy seasonal patio out on Market Street. It serves as a casual Old Town hub where shoppers, cyclists, and beer lovers can pull up a stool for small-batch pints fresh from the tanks.

C’est What Brewing Menu & What to Order The tap list rotates through house favourites like the citrus-forward Tailspin IPA, the velvety nitro-poured Blak Katt stout, and the Ginger Wheat brewed with green tea and blood orange. In a welcome move for visitors, the taproom allows you to bring in takeaway fare from vendors upstairs, with staff ready to offer custom pairing recommendations. Sip a crisp Starlight lagered ale alongside a warm peameal bacon bun, or grab an Al's Cask Ale to pair with a hot Italian sandwich.

Know Before You Go Seating operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and the counter gets brisk during peak Saturday and Sunday market rushes. Operating times strictly mirror St. Lawrence Market hours, meaning the taproom is closed Mondays and wraps up in the late afternoon or early evening. King subway station and the 504 King streetcar are just a short walk away.
