Breweries to visit within a 3 hour drive from Toronto? Anyone know of any breweries I can visit and make a trip out of? I'm looking for something with outdoor seating and ideally a nice view. A restaurant on-site would be nice but not essential. I've been to vineyards/wineries in the Prince Edward County area that had this and now I'm wondering if there is something similar with a brewery instead.
Thanks!
edit: might as well give more info of the entire plan I am picturing. I would like to drive out somewhere and spend a night. I'd like for there to be a national/provincial park that I can hike some trails on and be close to such brewery as well.

[Elora Brewing Company!](https://www.elorabrewingcompany.ca/) Shameless plug -- I grew up in Elora, but it's a great town to escape from the city for a night or two. About 90 minutes from Toronto -- 30 minutes north of Guelph. The Brewery itself isn't huge, and isn't on the water -- but the beer is great. The whole town is pretty fantastic and it's a great place to wander around for a day. Do a search for Elora Gorge. There's a campground and some cool trails in into the rivers and the old quarry. Feel free to DM me if you're looking for some tips from a local -- cheers!

Drive to Kitchener, stop at the breweries there (can't say I'm familiar with any of them), move on to St Jacob's to Block 3 then Elora for Elora Brewing Company. After that take a nice drive through some farmland for an hour and a half to reach Cowbell then continue on to Goderich to check out Square Brew. End your trip off at Half Hours on Earth. Only problem is now you're far away from Toronto so just grab a motel in Goderich for the night.
Looking for suggestions on where to go for supper tonight. Must be kid-friendly as we have two toddlers. Favourite places in Elora/Fergus/Guelph? TIA :)
