Friends Forever: A TOQUE x Elora Brewing Company collaboration

WORDS AND PHOTOS BY CHRIS TIESSEN

Friends. Almost nothing compares. Folks that you can get playful with, feel comfortable around, and do all sorts of adventurous things alongside. Over the past couple of years, TOQUE has managed to form a whole bunch of great friendships. With collaborators. Clients. Competitors. And readers. 

And, perhaps most of all, with those regional movers and shakers we’ve featured in the magazine. Like Elora Brewing Company. Since writing about this wonderfully innovative and creative brewery way back in Issue Two – our inaugural ‘Food Issue’ – we’ve shared all the feels for one another. And adventures too. We won’t be forgetting, for instance, our (albeit semi-aborted) canoe trip delivering kegs from the brewery to stops in Kitchener and Galt any time soond . 

In celebration of our friendship, and of this ‘Adventure Issue’, we’ve teamed up with Elora to brew something great. Hoppy. Juicy. (So very juicy.) And opaque. Just in time for the dog days of summer. 

Here’s to friends. Ours and yours.

HONEST TIME: A CONVERSATION WITH MAKOTO WATCH COMPANY FOUNDER RYAN LECLAIR 

Travel tends to sharpen taste. It introduces new ideas, uncovers unforeseen obsessions, and offers the occasional epiphany – nudging your sense of beauty and your grasp of craftsmanship in new directions. For Ryan LeClair, founder of Makoto Watch Company out of London, Ontario, it was travel – and specifically a trip to Japan – that transformed his infatuation with watch collecting into his initiation of a brand built on craft, restraint, and everyday practicality.

BUILT ON BOOKS: THREE FOUNDATIONAL SHOPS IN UPTOWN WATERLOO 

Almost nothing we carry defines us more clearly than the books in our bags: tactile objects filled with ideas and stories – testimonies to time well spent. They tag along with us, mark our days, and shape the rhythm of how we move through the world. In Uptown Waterloo, three long-standing independent bookstores – Carry-On Comics & Books (46 years young), Words Worth Books (42 years), and Old Goat Books (25 years) – offer distinct ways to build this bracket of everyday carry: a nostalgia-driven comic haven built for the thrill of discovery, a curated literary hub grounded in conversation, and a densely-packed used bookstore where the search is part of the reward. Together, these enduring fixtures map a reading life – charting not just what we read, but how we come to find it.

WHAT TOQUE CARRIES: INSIDE CHRIS’ FIELD KIT 

In my line of work – as writer, photographer, editor, regional explorer – EDC isn't a trend. It's infrastructure. Most days I'm in motion: tracing backroads toward a brewhouse, mapping my way to an artist's studio, or sliding into the corner of a coffee shop where I turn field notes into final copy and RAW files into photographs that will pop on paper. My office is wherever I set my bag down. My tools make it possible.

LIGHT CARRY: A HANDFUL OF STRATFORD & PERTH COUNTY’S GO-TO TAKEOUT JOINTS 

Stratford – and, by extension, Perth County – lends itself to takeaway. A coffee to carry, a sandwich in hand, something sweet tucked alongside – then out into the streets for window shopping, into the theatres for a performance, or down to the riverbank for a nosh.
