Given the job I have, I tend to come across rumours about the brewing industry on a fairly frequent basis.
The Mill Street Brewpub expansion(s) plans is one such rumour that has been out there for quite some time now and today the CBC broke the story about Mill Street heading to Ottawa to start a new brewpub operation there.
Turns out Mill Street signed a 10 year lease at a 165 year old stone structure that last housed the Mill Restaurant and is situated the Portage Bridge and Lebreton Flats.
Steve Abrams, the last remaining founder still with Mill Street, told CBC that the Toronto brewery hopes to have the brewpub open by the fall, which he confirmed with me over the phone this afternoon.
"The location is pretty cool as it's in an area that once had a lot of brewing activity," said Abrams. "We get the keys to the building soon and we've got a lot of interior renovations to do to be up and running by the fall, including working on the flooring to get our brewing equipment in place."
Great news for residents in the nation's capital!
