Column: The top five places for (good) beer in London

{In addition to the ol’ blog, a few of you might be aware that I write a bi-weekly column for the local book Our London. About a month ago, I wrote a column detailing the scant places you might find a beer in town. I thought I’d repurpose it here as it may be helpful to any blog readers who might be headed to The Forest City soon.
In 2014, owner Mark Serre stopped buying draught from The Beer Store and now deals directly with local brewers. The result is 18 draught options that feature options you can’t find elsewhere in the Forest City, including offerings from London’s breweries and beer from Windsor to cottage country, including regular options from the excellent Great Lakes Brewery in Etobicoke. There’s an increasingly decent selection of 35 craft bottles and cans and a decent menu. Occupying a converted “London Brick” mansion, “The Mo” offers a somewhat dated ambiance, but is suitably cozy and offers a great patio.

Frequently packed thanks to being the only pub in convenient walking distance for those who live in Old North, the seriously-good burgers and respectable draught lineup are certainly as much to blame for its popularity as its convenience. A welcoming watering hole, Bungalow offers a draught lineup that skews toward craft but won’t frighten the uninitiated. Approachable craft beers like Steam Whistle and Samuel Adams Lager abound with occasionally experimental offerings like Muskoka Brewery’s rotating Moonlight Kettle series or a Beau’s All Natural one-off. The place promises a “neighbourhood hub” and it delivers.

2. The Morrissey House
Anyone who drinks good beer in London won’t be surprised to see Pub Milos atop this list. With an owner who goes out of his way to bring unique Ontario beers to his Talbot Street locale, Pub Milos’ draught menu that is 27-tap is unparalleled in London and is arguably among Ontario’s best. The food is good, the staff are certified cicerones or working to become certified, and it’s right downtown. The place does beer the way I wish all bars could. ‘Nuff said.
