Did you know that there are only two places in the entire city of Toronto that you can buy a keg of beer?
One of them is The Beer Store at Bathurst/Dupont, and you have to call ahead to see which ones they have on hand. The other is Mill Street's retail store in the Distillery District, and they (obviously) only carry tasty Mill Street beer. You can't get Mill Street gets at The Beer Store (even though you can buy bottles/cases). They also sell all of their beer in smaller quantities and often have new and exclusive brands for sampling.
You can buy their kegs of beer in 30 ($130) or 50L ($170) quantities. Obviously you'd go for the 50L since it's nearly twice the volume and 30% more money. Call ahead to place your order and let them know when you're coming to pick it up. They'll give you a hand pump for the keg, and you should definitely get two of these just in case your pump breaks five minutes before your party.** And also because as mentioned, the only other place in Toronto that carries hand pumps is the faraway Bathurst/Dupont Beer Store.
There's a $50 deposit that you get back when you return the empty keg, usually recommended within a few days. In other words, don't worry about having to haul ass to Mill Street the morning after your rager.
Retail store manager Lauren was very kind and helpful with all my cluelessness when I called to order my kegs. Now that I see how simple it is, I declare all of my house parties to be keg parties.
You can get a tour of the brewery at 1pm and 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
NOTE: A full keg weighs 150lbs and empty it weighs a third of that. Shit's heavy. Enlist the help of a muscly-armed paperboy or two to carry this.
**This has never happened to me.
