C’est What Brewing

C’est What Brewing has expanded its longstanding craft beer footprint with a taproom and patio location inside the historic St. Lawrence Market. Founded by George Milbrandt, the operation builds upon decades of local brewing legacy as one of the city's earliest champions of independent craft beverage culture. Situated right within the lower level of the market building, the space offers a relaxed environment featuring live-edge bar tops and operational brewing tanks visible to patrons. It captures the vibrant energy of Old Town Toronto, serving as an extension of the historic community hub.

Visitors can expect small-batch craft beers brewed on-site alongside rotating tasting flights. A unique feature of this location is its welcoming policy that encourages shoppers to bring food purchased from market vendors upstairs into the taproom, where staff assist with custom beer pairings, such as matching a local pilsner with a peameal bacon sandwich. Operating during regular market hours, it functions as a casual drop-in space for shoppers, cyclists, and locals looking to sample regional pours without needing formal reservations.
