George Milbrandt, the owner of Toronto's oldest craft beer friendly pub Cest What?, celebrated a birthday yesterday.Milbrandt opened C'est What? at Church and Front Streets in Toronto back in 1988 and what set them apart from every other pub/bar/restaurant in the city was the fact that they only served Canadian beer, which has made C'est What? a must stop destination during a Toronto craft beer visit.
There are now somewhere in the neighbourhood of forty (yes forty) taps that serve product from all over Ontario; from the smallest of craft breweries to the larger breweries like Steam Whistle and Mill Streets. You'll also be able to find beers from Quebec and Alberta on draught, and choosing a pint of cask conditioned ale is also in the cards as C'est What is one of thirteen Toronto establishments to offer real ale.
Milbrandt's vision some 22 years ago has lead to a great following and like I said, C'est What has become a must visit destination in your search for a pint of craft beer. Bar Towel's Golden Tap Awards have seen C'est What? win the award for best Toronto draught selection in 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, actually winning it every year since the GTA's were created.
Happy Birthday Mr. Milbrant!
