Eastbound Brewing Co.

At Eastbound Brewing Co., a wedding reception feels like a lively evening with friends in a neighbourhood brewpub where the beer is made just steps from the tables.

The brewery sits in Toronto's Riverside neighbourhood, and its open layout lets guests see straight into the brewing operation and the kitchen, so the craft behind every pint and plate is part of the setting.

Couples can reserve tables for a smaller group of up to 30 guests, or take over the whole brewpub for a celebration of up to 90.

The kitchen cooks from scratch with a Tex-Mex focus, and event menus can be built around fresh, seasonal dishes, house-made preserves, local ingredients and even recipes that use the brewery's own beer.

Thoughtful extras can make the night memorable: a personalized beer cocktail for the couple, the brewery's signature corn nuts, or cans printed with a custom label for guests to take home.

Couples are welcome to bring their own decorations, and the team can supply a microphone, speakers and a screen for speeches and slideshows.

For couples who picture good food, fresh beer and a crowd that feels like family, Eastbound Brewing Co. offers a reception that is relaxed, flavourful and full of Riverside character.
