The beer list is an ever changing, ever evolving one. When we first opened, we began with a few Ontario craft beers with an idea that we would be able to buy a couple of kegs and once sold, move on to the next brewer. With the growth of the Ontario industry, it soon became apparent that we were not doing enough to support those ‘little guys,’ which of course, we are too! So we kept on expanding the selection and made it about good beer. The great thing was, people began to trust our selections…and while some of the offerings were not to everyone’s tastes, they were given a go! Last March, we took the bold step to have our entire bottles and cans list an all Canadian one, including those beers brewed down the street at Labatt. A tweak this month though as we brought in a couple of old favourites (eg, Fruli) and some brilliant newcomers (eg, Green Flash). We will continue to do what we can to make sure the 18 taps are filled with accessible beers and the bottle list remains interesting. We do love suggestions, so talk to us- or email at mark@themorrisseyhouse.com The caveat being that we do want to try to stay craft and local(ish)!

  1. Very grateful for Mark’s helpful advice regarding the draft and micro-brew beers. The samples provided were a useful education … and I chose the Mill Street Organic Lager.

  2. Mark you have a decent selection from local crafters. I wonder if you had tried any Great Lakes or Nickel Brook casked beers? Both these brewers are making some very interesting one-offs.

    • alas, we do not do any cask beers. nickel brook just dropped some samples off of their headstock and their imperial…ok beers, but samples were not that well received. great lakes has been hard for us to get a hold of and delivered too, but we will be trying their winter ale soon. menu changes for the fall/winter seasons, so we’ll have some new ones soon- this list needs updating, which I will do soon!

      • I agree with Malt Monk that cask ale would be a great addition to The Mo, as well as fewer macro beers on tap. Mark has done an excellent job in expanding the craft beer selection and I would love to see him take things to the next level this year. Cheers!

  3. Planning on making reservations soon for a party of 10 and just wondering if you carry any low carb beers? My husband and another friend of ours is on low carb diet that enjoy their beer and wonder if you carry any such as presidents choice brand, Michelob (American brand) of Canadian 67. If not no worries .

  4. Hi,

    Visited London last weekend and had two meals at the Morrissey: very enjoyable. Tried the Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar both times: excellent! Back home now, seven + hours away, and looking forward to our next visit already!

    • We have had the Dead Elephant in a bottle but the sales were sporadic (as was the beer at times!). Part of the problem I think is the serving size and the cost involved for some, and some went to that inconsistency- both in availability and product. We are certainly open to trying it again for sure. We have a couple of really good Ontario ambers in stock right now as well, Big Wheel from Amsterdam and Cameron’s Auburn.
