AVLING IS THE NORWEGIAN WORD FOR CROP OR HARVEST, AND FOR US, IT’S ALL ABOUT OUR KITCHEN, BREWERY AND FARM WORKING AS ONE.

WE TAKE PRIDE IN FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS DIRECTLY WITH SUPPLIERS WHO PRIORITIZE REGENERATIVE PRODUCTION METHODS AND SUSTAINABLE APPROACHES. OUR FLAVOURS ARE AN EXPRESSION OF THE CANADIAN LANDSCAPE, THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, AND THE VISION OF OUR BREWERS, FARMERS, AND CHEFS.

BREWERY

Our brewery sources ethically and responsibly farmed Canadian ingredients. The 99% symbol, now found on a number of our cans, means that everything that goes into the beer (save the odd minuscule water adjustment) comes from Ontario.

We’re also big on barrel-aging our beer:

“Barrel-aging beer certainly has a more artistic element to it. To me, it's a slower, more thoughtful, and cooperative way of producing beer. You're doing a lot of listening to the yeast, rather than telling it what to do. You need to give it the right conditions to evolve and so we taste it over months or years to figure out what it needs, and how to help it become its best self. ”

- Brandon Judd, Head Brewer

Our Nordic Asian menu is designed to be shared amongst friends. Curated and inspired by the Canadian landscape, our food holds us close to stories of our past, while integrating the voices of dynamic cultures which surround us.

We utilize the absolute best seasonal and local ingredients from our rooftop farm, nearby suppliers, and occasionally beyond. As such, our menu changes frequently. Please be advised that what you see on our site, might fluctuate based on availability:

THe ROOFTOP FARM

Situated in the heart of Leslieville, in downtown Toronto’s east side, we’ve built a 4 000 sq. foot farm on our rooftop.

We grow all our crops using ecological farming methods, such as crop rotation, low to no till, cover crops, composting, organic seeds and natural fertilizers, which prioritize soil health. We grow a variety of crops from tomatoes, hot peppers and garlic, to carrots, apples, and hops. We chose our crops based on flavour, increasing ecological biodiversity, particularly to attract native pollinators and crops suited to our unique rooftop environment.

What we grow becomes ingredients in our kitchen, in our beer, and we stock the shelves in our retail store with it too.

We are constantly looking to improve the sustainability and circularity of our operation. To that end, we have begun to experiment with on-site waste water treatment that will allow us to reuse brewery wastewater as nutrient rich irrigation water for the garden. Off-site, we have collaborated with the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario to run organic vegetable improvement trials on our roof. These national trials are aimed at understanding which organic varieties work best according to the varied growing conditions across Canada.
