Toronto in 100 beers

Discover Toronto's wild, weird history and the 100 unique beers it inspired!

Did you know that Babe Ruth hit his first home run in Toronto? Or that the city's first taxi service was operated by a former slave from the American South? Or that, during the Second World War, anti-submarine technology was developed in a carriage house at Casa Loma? These are the sorts of stories Henderson Brewing Company has been celebrating with their monthly "Ides" series: unique brews that pay tribute to just-as-unique moments in Toronto's history.

Toronto in 100 Beers is more than a history of Henderson's limited releases, it's a history of the city itself--a city that has nurtured the lives and legends of artists, golfers, boxers, prog rockers, prestidigitators, hockey legends, and even a few ghosts. This book collects their stories and those of the beers dreamt up in their honour. Toronto is a wild, weird city whose rich history is worthy of celebration--so raise a glass to Toronto and to the Henderson Brewing Company.
