About The Mill Brewery

A converted Collingwood garage pouring 13 taps beside brisket tacos and an indoor wood fire. Industrial bones, lounge chairs, and a welcoming dog-friendly policy set an unpretentious rhythm on Johnston Street. Taproom regulars line up paddles of crisp lager and Cali Black Pale Ale before heading toward the kitchen window. Dingo Ate My Taco runs the food program here—turning out rich birria and slow-cooked brisket wrapped in warm tortillas, built to pair with fresh pints by the hearth.

  • 13-Tap Rotation: Sample fresh lagers, stouts, and Cali Black Pale Ale across 13 rotating taps via tasting paddles.
  • Dingo Ate My Taco: Independent kitchen pop-up serving slow-cooked beef birria and brisket tacos alongside house brews.
  • Industrial Garage Vibe: Converted mechanics garage featuring lounge chairs, a wood-burning fire, and a dog-friendly policy.
