Pub #15 -- LayLow, Toronto, September 29

The nano-est of nanobreweries, this Trinidadian restaurant holds (at least informally) the honor of being the smallest brewery in Toronto.  When we asked them if this was true, they said, Oh yeah, we still make our beer in 30 L pots in the kitchen.  !!  But they had a normal variety of a half-dozen beers, and they were quite good.  The food was also excellent.

The Berliner Weisse didn't seem like it would be that exciting (after Come From Away (see last post), I didn't need a lot of excitement), but as you'll see from the video below, adding mango-tamarind juice to it and then stirring generates some bubbly enthusiasm.  I misunderstood the server's warning about stirring it, and instead stirred it vigorously the first time.  This led to much frantic slurping in a failed attempt to keep the now-frothing ale from overflowing (not on video).

The good folks in the photos who aren't me or C are my uncle, aunt, and cousin.  Thanks to Cousin Ben for the tip on LayLow.  It's one of his favorites, and it's easy to see why.
