hey guys...

this is a question for those upstairs in canada... just drinking my favorite beer right now... labatt blue... and realized that the label says its brewed in toronto... is the brewery in toronto proper... or on the outskirts... i would love to vist, if at all possible, the brewery (a la the simpsons) and take a tour... have a few before the pj show...

is this at all possible???
it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    It is not downtown but is in Toronto. It's right off the 401 which is Ontario's main freeway. Try a Moosehead...green bottle...nice taste.

    I know of it, but I didn't grow up here so I'm not too familiar with the schools.

    And Syracuse isn't upstate, it's Central NY. :D

    I think you need to get onto the Labatt 50. That's all I have to say.

    Yeah, I fully recommend getting a Moosehead Green! Like Mr_Canada says, it's in the green bottle! It's damn tasty!! :D

    I actually think I'll have one right now! :lol:

    Try to find a Steelback if you can. Used to be really shitty but they overhauled everything but the name (last year, I think) . Now its become one of my favourite Canadian beers.
    mmmmmm.... beer.
