Mississaugan drunks need wait no longer, you won’t need to Go bus it to Toronto to get your fix – West 50 Pour House is set to open shortly. Located in the Sussex Centre on Burnhamthorpe this “poorhouse” looks crazy and offers an insane 102 beers on 115 draught taps. I’ve got the list of what they’ll have and placed it below the drop down simply because of the sheer size of it. They could open as soon as tomorrow, and I’d love to meet some of you there just to check the place out. I can’t imagine it’ll be cheap, though, and it does beg the question of stale product. How can you rotate 115 taps in Mississauga?
Also freshly open is the new Mill Street Brewpub, found at 55 Mill Street in the space formerly occupied by the Mill Street Brewery. Thankfully, they appear to be doing things a bit differently. Apparently the food is excellent and quite reasonably priced, although warnings to vegetarians in advance, as apparently they’re not terribly concerned with you. All of Mill Street’s commercial offerings are available on tap – the amazing Coffee Porter and Tankhouse Ale alongside the poor Stock Ale and Organic Lager. However, they’ve also created or reintroduced some past offerings on draught, including a Bitter, Kriek, India Pale Ale, Barley Wine (2004 vintage), Belgian Wit, Pilsner, Oktoberfest Lager, and most importantly, a Stout. A retail store on site will soon allow for growler pick-ups, meaning they’ll let you fill a jug with beer and bring it home.
Coupled with beerbistro and Volo it just means I never, ever have to set foot in C’est What again. w00t for small victories.
And without further ado, I present the 102 offerings of the West 50:
West 50 Pour House Draught Selection
Affligem Abbey Beer, Belgium
Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale, Nova Scotia
Amsterdam Blonde Lager, Toronto Ontario
Amsterdam Nut Brown Ale, Toronto Ontario
Arkell Best Bitter, Guelph Ontario
Bass Pale Ale, England

MMMMM. Must go here. They have Blackthorn, KLB Wheat and Grasshopper on tap. 3 of my favourite things!! :)
I heard Mill St. prewpub is pretty good. They’re giving away brewpub coupons in their 6-packs of beer right now too. Kip has one. And don’t diss the stock ale.
Want to postpone Brick tour (I’ve done it twice already anyway) and go there instead?
