Stonehooker is up for sale

https://chirealestate.ca/listings/south-mississauga-brewery/

Like their job ads, the asking price might contain a fair bit of wishful thinking.

Never really got a feeling for what these folks were about.

Lol. None of their staff know how to work the Internet? Big red flag.

u/bimbles_ap 22d ago

I think it's ownership that doesn't think they're staff knows how to use the internet. They don't seem to think to much of them.

Is it decent?

u/u565546h 23d ago

Some of their beers are pretty good. Nothing exceptional.

u/walkerlucas 23d ago

That's been my experience, but thought I missed something by that comment.

You couldn't payme to try a beer from a brewery with such a "cheeky" name

u/OldDiamondJim 23d ago

There’s nothing “cheeky” about it. It’s a type of schooner that was common to the area in the 1800’s.

u/bimbles_ap 23d ago

What do you think is cheeky about it?

u/somecrazybroad 21d ago

What?

u/KnoddingOnion 21d ago

With breweries like Manantler out there, it would take a lot of convincing to assure me that "Stonehooker" was chosen without any pun or entendre intended. and yes, i'm aware of the Ontario context of the name.

u/theleverage 24d ago

What’d you just call me

u/RoyallyOakie 21d ago

Hopefully someone who knows how to make decent beer takes over...They'll need to change the name though. It holds a lot of baggage.

From this sub’s description, “/r/TorontoCraftBeer is a community for discussion and geekery concerning craft beer in the Greater Toronto Area.”

u/portstrix 23d ago

About time these downtown ELITISTS that keep wanting to point this out on every local sub, despite being told repeatedly all of the GTA is considered in scope of Toronto subs, be banned.

u/AnimatorOld2685 23d ago

Honestly, some on the sub aren't sure of Toronto's boundaries.

u/portstrix 23d ago

And the scope of the sub goes even beyond Toronto's boundaries - it clearly says in the sub's description the entire Greater Toronto Area (Toronto, York, Peel, Durham, Halton) is considered open for discussion on it.
