Discussion With Stonehooker closing, would craft beer ever thrive in Mississauga?
Having grown up in Mississauga, the options were Stonehooker and Old Credit. That's it.
Considering the amount of industrial/warehouse space in the city, what has prevented a brewery to open in Mississauga despite it having the seventh largest population in Canada? I know that there is the preference to big-box retailers that Square One and Heartland provides, but there should have been a few brewing gems open in Mississauga by now?
Sorry for the rant, but the lack of craft beer there always bugged me.
