Deal: For Beer Lovers – Visit your local Microbrewery
Here’s a little something out of the ordinary for a cheap date idea – visit your local Microbrewery!
Whether you’re a beer lover or not, this allows you to explore the art and science behind beer making. While this is surely a hit for guys, it might be a tough sell for women who aren’t into beer culture – so do your research on appropriate places to take your date first!
Microbrewery tours shouldn’t cost more than $10, which gives you a tour of the key areas of their plant as well as giving a backstory of how their company came into being.
But the point of checking out a tour at your local Microbrewery isn’t for their history is it? It’s to get pissed drunk. It’s to enjoy their fruits of the labour in their beer tastings afterwards! 
Here are some specific recommendations for Torontonians:
Steam Whistle
First of the microbreweries to open its doors of its brewing facility – The Roundhouse – to the public in 2000. Not only have they won multiple awards for their tasty yet crisp German-style pilsner, they’re also right across the street from the Skydome Rogers Centre so you can catch a Jays or Argos game before or after your tour.
Tip: naturally the bartenders will give you one or two extra half pints on top of what you’ll customarily get. If you tip the bartender well ($1-2), expect more to come your way
