A Toronto brewery that's been a summertime staple in its neighbourhood for years has closed permanently.As someone who spent the first quarter-century of my life living in The Beach(es), I've seen firsthand just how hard it can be for restaurants to stay alive along the Queen East strip.Yes, members of the neighbourhood ride hard for their local businesses, and a handful have managed to stand the test of time, but when a small window of summertime business accounts for a large majority of the area's foot traffic, it's difficult to make it work.The latest neighbourhood casualty was something of a local success story, having been in business for the past six years, but hey, all good things must come to an end, right?As of Wednesday, Dec. 3, Beaches Brewing Co. has closed permanently.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Beaches Brewing Company ™ (@beachesbrewco)In the ...
