a month agoWas surprised with a guided tour for my birthday with family and friends. Had a great time! Greg, the owner, took the time to show us around, and explained in detail the unique process of their brewery. Afterward, we were treated to a variety of distinct flavours of beer and enjoyed talking with the friendly employees. Great local company, who take pride in supporting Canadian suppliers, their staff, and enjoying the crafting process. We all had a great time. Thanks!

10 months agoThis place was awesome... Very friendly and knowledgeable staff that genuinely seem to love what they do. Clean and classy. The food was awesome... Very well thought out and complex using a lot of locally sourced materials. Not a big enough menu for a dinner but for appetizers they paired well with the beers and were delicious. The beer itself is largely sour because they use wine barrels... As someone who traditionally likes IPAs it was quite a shift for me BUT getting outside my box wasn't a bad thing. Highly recommend for a stop off on a date or a fun experience!

6 months agoAmazing Belgian style beer fermented in wine barrel or with added ingredients to make an unforgettable beer well worth the stop!!!

a year agoWe came for a date night and the experience was absolutely amazing. We tried samplers of every beer which ended up being about 9 different beers and they were all delicious other then a few (due to personal preference) The guys serving the beer were very knowledgeable on the tasting notes of every beer and were very willing to talk about the processes which made it a fun enjoyable experience. They made you feel like friends just having a beer together. We had a sandwich which was was really small so if you're hungry eat before you go. Overall we will come back for a tour and to try new beers when they're released.
