Common Good Beer Co.
475 Ellesmere Rd, Scarborough, ON
Common Good Beer Company is a much needed addition to Scarborough, ON, bringing Craft Beer to the far east end of Toronto. It was founded by Jamie Mistry, a skilled brewmaster best known for his previous stints at Amsterdam Brewing and Cool Beer. I had heard great things about Jamie from many people in the industry and was eager to meet the man behind the legend and chat about his new project. You see there is a twist on this brewery concept, I guess you could say it's for the Common Good as the brewery is intended to be a space for contract brewers and breweries looking to expand production. Of course, with brewing in Jamie’s blood, he is still pleasing our palates with a small batch series under the Common Good brand name. Though he may not have the big beard and tattoos that many brewers do, he has over 20 years experience and can brew alongside the best of them.
He enjoys the operations side of brewing just as much as the creative side and with a 3,500 L brewhouse they’re a busy team juggling logistics and keeping other companies stocked while creating beer for themselves.
