We are pleased to announce that our 2023 edition of Canadian Homebrew Day (CHD) will be in-person at Toronto Brewing!
Sat. June 3rd, 2023
Toronto Brewing (3701 Chesswood Drive, Unit 115)
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM
On Saturday June 3rd, we will have a live brewing demonstration and be available to answer questions and promote the hobby!
GTA Brews Members will be present and brewing on club equipment! Come, see, support and chat with fellow members and members of the public about the joys of homebrewing!
Recipe: Bia-Hoi by Chi-Linh Dinh
This year's recipe, now available in the club recipe database, is Chi-Llinh Dinh's "Bia Hoi" (Vietnamese for 'fresh beer'). Chi created this recipe to emulate the type of beer her father and his friends used to drink back home in Vietnam! It's a light (about 4% ABV), refreshing lager that's meant to be drank very fresh once it's fermented!
If you are indeed brewing that day, please take some pictures and share it with our community and beyond by tagging GTA Brews and #CanadianHomebrewDay in your posts!

A Brief History Of A Place For Homebrewers and Craft Beer Lovers
It started as a collective; an inclusive one that was focused on homebrewed beers made by passionate homebrewers. These beers, and the brewers that made them, were then featured at small batch events around the city of Toronto. That collective was what was known as The People's Pint and the gentlemen behind that collective were Doug Appledoorn and Pietro Ciara.
That was 2016.
By 2017 Doug and Pietro were searching for a permanent space for their collective and events but also to brew their own beers.
By mid 2018 an opportunity presented itself. Junction Craft Brewing were moving out of their space on Cawthra Ave and Doug and Pietro had found a permanent home for People's Pint.
They continued to host events that focused on, and supported, the homebrew community, and GTA Brews in particular, including:
- A homebrew tap takeover for Toronto Beer Week
- Learn2Brew days
- Off Flavour Tasting sessions
- Being a sponsor for BrewSlam (GTA Brews Premier National Homebrew Competition)
- A rotating GTA Brews guest tap serving GTA Brews members homebrew to the public
- Hosting Club Meetings, the Club Barrel (fills and empties), and Hop Buy Pick Ups / Sorting
They also were active in the industry by ensuring their brewery was a space that was safe, inclusive, and welcoming to all who wanted to partake, learn and enjoy craft beer regardless of creed, colour or sexuality.
They were also one of the first breweries in Toronto to "employ" a brewery cat via the SPCA; Maris was quite unique for some time!
On top of all of that Doug and Pietro and all others who worked with them were friends, homebrewers and individuals to be admired.
So, now that they have closed their doors, Peoples Pint, the brewery space, will be missed but Peoples Pint, the ideal, will live on.
Thank you to Pietro, Doug, Angie, Chris, Chris, Adam, Alex, Deaglan, Jeff, and everyone else that welcomed us as GTA Brews members, fellow homebrewers and cherished friends into the warm space you built.
That space, of course, will be missed.
