Had my wedding at True North recently - the whole process was wonderful! The events coordinator Tim was a complete pro - in the weeks leading up to our event he was there for all of our questions and needs. When it came to the day of, he made sure the event went off seamlessly and our guests had an amazing time. All of the vendors we worked with remarked at how amazing Tim and True North were to work with.Even a few weeks later when we needed his help he went out of his way to assist us on related item to the event. He didn't have to, but he was happy to do it. True North has an ace up their sleeve with Tim. Book your future events at the brewery!

Great brews ! Nice spot, and great playlist! There is a fridge to the left of the bar for take home cans.. Parking was almost full on a sunny Saturday afternoon but they have overflow parking, next right heading north I believe. Signs for this are posted, just follow them if need be.

A very nice brewery with a wide selection of microbrews! We enjoyed a brew on their outdoor patio with our dog.

The beer and variety are seriously tough to beat. True north is one of the best breweries on the north shore… coming from someone who’s been to almost alll of them!

An awesome spot not too far from the north shore beaches! Loved this flight of sours and the place is spacious with outdoor seating options.

Overall, this place is great! We came during their brewversary and it was an awesome party! Great music, food was delightful and quick from thr food truck! Great selection of beers! But unfortunately, what stuck out in my mind was that right before leaving we wanted to buy a shirt. Their was only 1 couple in front of us in line so we figured it wasn't too bad of a wait so we'd get a shirt. However, the girl spent 15 minutes talking to her friends in front of us and then when we came up to the register finally for our turn, she looked at her phone and said "well time is up. I'm having a beer" and ran off so fast. My husband and I both were just in disbelief of what happened that it was almost comical. So that service was unfortunate, but the rest of the day was awesome!

Nice huge selection of craft beers on tap. Also, they have their own wine which was very good, way better than expected from a brewery. There's also a food truck outside that makes amazing barbecue.

If you call yourself a craft brew drinker and haven't found this place yet, I assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised. This was not my target brewery for a Tuesday night, but it was 4 mins from my intended stop, and proved to be more than sufficient for a beer stop. If you are a HAZY IPA guy like me, yeah....stop in. Next to Trillium and Vitamin Sea, choose this as your stopping point over the highly over-rated Tree House......you don't need to thank me, True North over Tree House any decade!

True North is the perfect brewery, especially for those of us who enjoy darker beers all year long. Top-notch neighborhood atmosphere and a friendly staff, with special shout-outs to Zach and Kelsey. Cheers!

Sat at the bar today around 1PM, no one at the bar, 1/4 of the tables were full outside. Took over ten minutes to get served. When we were done no one bothered to acknowledge our glasses were empty or offer to cash us out. When we approached the register the woman gave us attitude telling us we had to wait where we were sitting and someone would come over. Needless to say she figured out how to cash me out before things got ugly. They better figure out how to do things better or they’ll be closing shop like so many others before them.

Update in response to TN’s reply: you told me on the phone the $28 was a prior authorization if you opened a tab, which I did NOT. Also, it is a real charge because it’s been deducted from my bank account and it’s Friday and you told me I won’t have the money come back into my account until at least Monday. Not sure why you’re saying this when I literally told you I did NOT open a tab and you told me the $28 prior authorization was ONLY if you opened a tab. Also, you should tell customers this before charging their accounts $28, if it wasn’t a “real charge” then money wouldn’t be deducted from my account and there would be no reason for the charge in the first place. Poor excuse. I’ve never had a prior authorization charge ever from anywhere, so it is True North’s decision to let the “credit card” companies deduct $28 from my card. And I never opened a tab so if this is only for tab charges I should NOT have been charged $28 in addition to buying a $9 beer lol…Was here last night for the concert. Bought 1 beer for $9 on my debit card. The employee asked if I wanted to open a tab, I said no. I paid for the one beer and my online banking got charged an extra $28. I called True North, they said when you open a tab they charge your card a prior authorization for $28. I told them I didn’t open a tab. They didn’t apologize or anything. No one told us if you use your debit or credit card there that they charge your card an extra $28 for a prior authorization. Seems pretty shady. Will not be using a card here ever again. Just a warning for other people looking to go here since they don’t even tell you your cards gonna get charged $28. Again, never opened a tab and I still got charged $28. It’s Friday and they said the $28 won’t go back on my card until at least Monday. Thanks True North ??. Sub par at best brewery.
