The brews remain a work in progress, but there's decent drinking to be had at this guerrilla-style Canadian-run nanobrewery that's as tiny as can be and only opens on Friday nights, when crowds spill onto the sidewalk. A German baker next door bakes up homeland-style pretzels to go with the American, British and European-style ales (two taps plus bottles).

A.M.O. is a play on words derived from the name of owner/brewer A Margaret Orlowski.
