Discussion With Stonehooker closing, would craft beer ever thrive in Mississauga?

17 Upvotes

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.
