From sweet-to-bitter-to-fruity-sour, there’s nothing quite like the taste journey Toronto craft brewers bring us on with their best India Pale Ales.
The Best IPAs in Toronto:
6. Daywalker by Rainhard (3.9% / 500ml bottle / $5.95)
As you enjoy the bitter and sweet lemon taste adventure, you probably won’t notice this beer is only 3.9%. This light beauty is crafted with a backbone right to its bitter finish.

Starts with fruity blasts of sweet and tart before a bomb of hops. This sour IPA will baffle you in the best possible ways.

Familiar fruit aromas and wide spread availability make Boneskaker a reliable friend for when you want that awakening, hopped-up bitter finish.
3. Headstock by Nickel Brook (7% / 473ml can / $3.45)
Vibrant hops with moderate bitterness make for a blissful journey that concludes with a stunningly creamy finish.
2. Octopus Wants to Fight by Great Lakes (6.2% / 473ml can / $3.25)
Sweet upon first sip, this trickster sinks you into a sea of calm with its moderate bitterness.
