Lock up your green bins and get your glassware ready. Toronto’s most delicious charitable beer is here — and this summer, we’re going bigger.
Raccoon Lager — our annual charity brew with Tomorrow Brew Co. and Streets of Toronto — has already raised over $20,000 for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Because food insecurity in this city isn’t slowing down, neither are we.
Where to Score a Cold One This Summer
You can find Raccoon Lager pouring and stocking at more than 25 restaurants and bars across the city. Meet your raccoon match at:
Fat Pasha, 7 Numbers, The Edmund Burke, Aera, Canteen, Ceci Bar, Jump, La Plume, Biffs Bistro, Luma, Maison Selby, O&B Café Grill Blue, Parcheggio, Queen’s Cross, Rabbit Hole, The Dorset, The Joneses, Malaparte, The Carlu, Arcadian, Village Loft, Sunnybrook, TRBOT Queen’s Quay, Bridgitte Bar, Lulu Bar, and National.
The Ultimate Raccoon Reunion (All 8 Cans Are Back)
The full legendary roster of all eight neighbourhood mascots is here — and yes, the race to collect them all is on.
Here’s a quick look at who you’re dealing with this summer:
• The OGs: Kenny Sington, Lesley Ville, Lawrence Park, and Danielle Forth — defending their home turf.
• Parker Dale: Still convinced Queen Street peaked in 2013. Spotted weekly at Dufferin Grove Market. Refuses to tip under 25%.
• Rosie Dale: Splits weekends between Barry’s Bootcamp and brunch. Considers going south of Bloor a “day trip.”
• Moe Skoka: Only comes south to restock his oat milk and flex his cottage-core aesthetic. Drives a beat-up truck with surprisingly flawless Bluetooth.
• Trinity Bell: DJs on weekends, thrifts on weekdays, lives with three roommates, and has a dangerously passionate take on local pizza slices.
Let’s crush one for charity this summer — and help the Daily Bread Food Bank in the process. Whether you write about it, post it on your feed, or simply raise a can, every bit of amplification makes a real difference. We’d love your support.
