TORONTO, April 17, 2015 /CNW/ - Mill St. Brewery is pleased to announce that it will be a partner of UP Express when its flagship Union Station location opens in Spring 2015.
Situated on the second level of the station, the "CIBC UPstairs" lounge will feature Mill St. Brewery's distinct offering of homegrown craft beers, specially selected to accompany the delicious light fare that UP Express guests will be able to enjoy before boarding the train to Toronto Pearson International Airport.
"UP Express is a landmark addition to our city's infrastructure and will be a great benefit to residents and visitors alike," says Kevin Weitzman, Vice President at Mill Street. "We hope that we can add to the positive experience for everyone stopping in to the "CIBC UPstairs" lounge by providing a variety of delicious craft beers that will fit the tastes of any beer drinker."

The brewery has won a large number of awards for its individual beers and for the brewery overall, highlighted by having been named Canadian Brewery of the Year at the Canadian Brewing Awards on three separate occasions.
