So, we’re hanging out at The Only Café, this funky neighbourhood joint on the Danforth, just an Auston Matthews slap shot away from Donlands Station. This place is one of the original craft beer bars in Toronto, and they’ve been serving it up for more than 30 years, to boot! They’ve got 24 taps of fine local goodness—but tonight, they’re all about the Beau’s.
The local craft brewery just turned 10 years old, and to celebrate, they’re taking over 10 of the taps at The Only for one night only. You’ve got all kindsa funky local brews, from their most popular Lug Tread to a 10.5 percenter called Two Tonnes of Fun. More like two tonnes of wastey-faced, bro! So instead, I went with The Tom Green Beer, which is actually made in the image and likeness of Tom Green:
Much to my dismay, this beer isn’t actually green—but rather, it’s blacker than a banker’s heart. A milk stout that looks like Guinness, but it’s a bit more creamy, and less coffee. Now, I really woulda loved to scarf down some sausages with this brew, but The Only has a very limited menu (except when it’s brunch time), so I had to settle for back bacon instead.
There’s certainly nothing fancy about this sammy, son. You’ve got back bacon, cheese and some pickles on the side. They make it all in a sandwich press behind the bar, so it’s very DIY. But they did say you can bring in food from outside, so maybe next time I’ll try that funky fried-chicken joint just a couple doors down…
