Visit websiteAbout Aether Brewing
Northgate drinkers treat this warehouse brewery as an open secret for small-batch pours pulled metres from the fermentation tanks. Stools sit directly on the production floor—putting you right beside the stainless steel. Taps cycle through cold Mexican lagers, blackberry sours, and seasonal dark ales by the schooner. Food trucks roll in on weekends for pizza and fried chicken, dogs lounge under the benches, and the platform at Northgate station sits four minutes away on foot.
- On-Site Working Brewery: Ales, lagers, and fruit sours brewed on premises, with seating arranged right beside the fermentation vats.
- Rotating Food Trucks: A rotating calendar of food trucks parked outside slinging wood-fired pizza, burgers, and fried wings.
- Transit-Friendly Location: A four-minute walk from the Northgate rail platform, keeping transit easy and car-free.
- Dog-Friendly Taproom: A spacious, industrial weekend setup with live music where dogs are openly welcomed inside.

Before you head over
Practical advice to streamline your visit—head to their official website to check current taps, food truck schedules, and plan your session.
Beat the Saturday Evening Rush
The taproom gets lively on weekends and "Gets very busy after 5pm on a Saturday." Arrive earlier in the afternoon to easily grab a prime table inside near the vats or outdoors before peak evening crowds settle in.
Check the Food Truck Schedule in Advance
Dining relies on pop-up food trucks out front rather than a permanent kitchen menu. If anyone in your group has specific preferences or dietary needs, "check the times and type of food truck if you’re a fussy eater" before heading over.
Arrive via Northgate Rail Station
Aether is located just a "4 minutes walk from Northgate train station," making passenger rail the simplest way to visit if you are "sticking around for a few cheekies." Check their official website to view current tap schedules and plan your visit.
