Craft Beverage Vendors Announced for 2022 Home Matches

Ahead of our home opener on Saturday, the Toronto Arrows are pleased to announce the roster of craft beverage vendors that will be keeping our fans’ thirsts quenched throughout our 2022 season at York Lions Stadium.

Craft Beverage Vendors

Feeling parched? We have four Ontario-based craft breweries, cideries, and distilleries serving up a wide variety of award-winning beverages to fans of legal drinking age.

Avling is a Toronto-based seasonal and experimental brewery and kitchen, creating a perpetually-changing menu of beer and food using hyper-local ingredients.

Their beers are as seasonal as the ingredients that go into them, constantly evolving and developing over the course of the year.

The 5,700-square-foot space at 1042 Queen St. E., just east of Pape Avenue, which for several years housed an A&P Co. supermarket, opened 2019.

Their location has a bright 80-seat resto-bar on the main floor and a brewery in the basement, and offers food and beer selections rooted in Canadian flavours and locally-farmed ingredients.

Exemplifying simpler times, The Duxbury Cider Co is the culmination of over a decade of craftsmanship into the art of cider making. Duxbury Cider is Meaford, Ontario’s first craft hard cider and is made exclusively with Georgian Bay apples, including heritage varieties. This dry, crisp and flavourful cider is made in small batches and is available in Ontario only.

So look for the trademark Percheron horse drawn wagon and order up a glass of Duxbury Cider.

Saulter Street Brewery is a small indie brewery, taproom and bottle shop housed in a barn-like building at the end of the street in Riverside, Toronto that gives it its name.

Follow the clink of glasses and the chatter of lively conversation past the sound of GO trains whizzing right by, and you’re sure to find the semi-hidden space.

At Dairy Distillery — the makers of Vodkow Vodka — innovation is at the heart of what we do. So is a deep desire to champion our community and the environment. Based out of Almonte, Ontario, we’ve married artisanal distilling techniques with cutting edge science to transform unused milk sugar into an incredibly smooth and clean spirit. In doing so we create new opportunity for dairy farmers while reducing waste. We craft great spirits that do good.

Vodkow has the crisp, clean taste of a vodka but is smooth like no other. Savour neat or in your favourite cocktail.

Our craft beverages vendors will be located in The Garden at the south end of York Lions Stadium.

Soft drinks, hot beverages, and other non-alcoholic options will be available for fans to purchase along the Level 300 concourse at York Lions Stadium.

Gates will open 90 minutes before kickoff — at 10:30 a.m. for our home opener — with our vendors serving right as fans are allowed in the stadium. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to ensure a speedy entry into the grounds.

…and just because the final whistle goes off at the conclusion of the game doesn’t mean the festivities are coming to an end. The Garden will remain open for two additional hours after the end of our matches (4 p.m. for our home opener), and fans are invited to stick around to enjoy the craft beverages on offer.

Tickets to our home opener, along with all matches in 2022, start at $15.
