Louis Cifer Brew Works
417 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON
(647) 350 - 5087
Louis Cifer Brew Works is a brewpub with a mouth watering menu for both food and craft beer and, amongst the large selection of creations they brew on site, they have filled the other taps solely with other independently owned Craft Breweries. This put a huge smile on my face as I love to see craft breweries support and promote one another!
Danforth area is highly populated with restaurants and brewpubs, so you need something pretty unique to stand out from the crowd here. Husband and wife, Craig and Erin, created Louis Cifer three years ago with a flavour-packed, upscale pub menu and a bar-full of craft beers, and it is safe to say it has been a hit with the locals. It is a bright wide open space with roll up doors in the front and a cool view of the brewing equipment.
Though they all contribute to creative ideas behind the beers, Connor is the current brewer, he takes the ideas and turns them into reality, through both the pilot system then onto the main 10 hec brew house. They have already won several awards for their beers across a range of styles from Belgian Wheat, American Brown Ale, and Dry Irish Stout, to Lemongrass Thai-PA, Spruce Tip IPA, and Experimental APA! Influenced by the Craft Beer World to both keep it simple and have fun with the flavour, there is no style they won’t try.
I couldn’t resist ordering a Coconut Lemongrass Thai-PA to go with my spicy chicken burger and it was a match made in heaven. IPA’s pair beautifully with spicy dishes as the bitterness can increase the heat and cut through the fattiness or richness of the dish.
