Known for a full range of styles

Godspeed opened on Coxwell Avenue in Toronto's east end in July 2017, founded by Luc "Bim" Lafontaine after twelve years at Montreal's Dieu du Ciel and several years spent brewing in Japan. The range is deliberately eclectic — Czech lagers made with decoction mashing and long cold maturation, German styles, saisons, and beers built around Japanese ingredients such as green tea from the brewmaster's own tea field. In recent years the Czech line has become the centre of the portfolio.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
