3.6 on Untappd.Bold but welcoming, Avling IPA arrives with a firm handshake and a warm smile. Lush tropical aromas of orchards and citrus groves mesh seamlessly with notes of honey and biscuit, backed up by a sturdy but soft bitterness. And, after the final sip, the graceful finish of this expressive and agile IPA beckons for the next meeting.Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, July 3, 2019 -
3.6 on Untappd.Hard work deserves great rewards. Crisp, classic, and focused, our Pilsner packs enough punch to refresh and revitalize any day. This straw colored brew features bright flashes of fruit and spice supported by a graceful malt profile. A nimble bitterness arrives fashionably late, snapping the palate to attention, inviting another sip. Simple, but timeless.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, July 27, 2019

3.7 on Untappd.Sometimes things are not quite as they seem! Nightfall is the color of a moonless evening, but a smooth and refreshing as your favorite lager. Dense and layered aromas of Toffee, pumpernickel, and a touch of Cocoa foreshadow the pallet that balances, rich flavors of coffee cake, and toasted hazelnuts with a crisp and refreshing body. A fantastic pairing for cold-weather dishes, like stews and roasts, or as a thirst quenching reward, after a rosy cheeked hike.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, December 10, 2022

3.5 on Untappd.A great thing, a small package. Clean,refreshing, and succinct, Kinsman is Czech-inspired lager with a German inflection. It introduces itself quietly with elegant yeast and hop aromatics, before the powerful maltiness fills the palate with notes of biscuit and fresh baked bread. Assertively balanced, this small beer punches far above its weight.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, September 21, 2019

3.5 on Untappd.Do you talk over a beer, or about it? Our Saison, charming yet elusive, doesn’t force you to choose. Sparkling and sleek, it asks little but is surprisingly complex. Hints of citrus zest, pear and black pepper hover over the pleasing acidity. It’s made to be savoured... or enjoyed with abandon.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, July 4, 2019

3.2 on Untappd.Smoked Lavender Sour Inspired by ancient styles in the North of Germany, Selene is a beautiful fusion of floral and lightly smoked notes, with an amazingly refreshing acidity. Ontario Malt was hand-smoked in house by our brewing team, using a combination of local applewood, and lavender from our roof. Additional lavender from Toronto gardens was used late in the process to create the elegant aroma that dominates this beer.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, November 21, 2020

3.7 on Untappd.Brewed and dry-hopped with Australian hops and lagered until crisp, Magpie Cold IPA is the best of both Avling's lager program and IPAs. Beautiful, punchy notes of berry, passionfruit, and sweet citrus define the aroma and palate, while the crisp focus of a cool fermentation makes Magpie an easy summer favourite.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, April 29, 2021

3.9 on Untappd.Made with hundreds of marigolds from the Avling rooftop and orange wine skins from Trail Estate in PEC, Orpheus is a beer that’s 16 months in the making. Orpheus tastes like citrus and Springtime, the delicate floral aromas intertwining with the tangerine and marmalade notes. It has a subtle black pepper backbone, along with fine tannins that bring just enough bite and structure to the fluffy, elegant palate of the beer. It's tart, refreshing and light, and drinks like a beautiful natural orange wine.Inaugural Batch: Sunday, April 11, 2021

3.7 on Untappd.Seeing is believing, and this shadow on the wall is a just a projection -- it's a hazy pale ale from Avling.Feeling a sense of calm after our first unbroken year of operations (finally!), we went and made a beer! we thought we never make. Shadow play features our favourite hops atop a simple base of malt and oats. Passion, kumquat and melon fly from the glass and crash onto the palate, while low bitterness and smooth acidity keep things bright and quenching. It's fluffy texture and full body support a rich and evolving tropical profile with apricot and yuzu notes arriving late. While we usually say less is more sometimes more is good too.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, May 27, 2023

a month agoThe beer selection was at Avling was wonderful, and the snacks (both appetizers we ordered and the sticky toffee pudding dessert) were very tasty. Not sure I'd say the same about the main dishes, which were just fine but nothing to write home about, so I'd heartily recommend this place for a night out for some drinks and snacks, rather than a restaurant experience.

a month agoThe place is stunning! I loved the island bar and the colors. Simple but elangant. The service is very good. The different beer and those that we tried were really good. We got some sanduches, they were ok but could be better, the ketchup chips were too seasoned to my taste.

3 weeks agoFollow @bredgyeats for more food photos! Beer Can Chicken - The perfect sort of pub food, half of a chicken cooked for a beautifully golden brown skin and served with a chicken beer jus and ultra-fresh vegetables taken straight from their own garden on the upper floor. It's completely different from the supermarket stuff.

5 months agoDiscovered a new restaurant at Leslieville! Totally different from anything we've tried before. Fresh, fine and exquisite. Looking forward to coming back.

a year agoWe attended Avling restaurant yesterday for dinner and drinks and this place is beyond cool. They grow their own vegetables, spices etc. on the roof and they brew their own drinks in the back brewing area , which were all amazing. The food was incredible. The staff goes all out to make you feel at home. Trish and Sam always had a smile and were very welcoming. Amazing experience I would recommend for everyone to go. Thank you for an amazing evening.
