16 Best Craft Breweries near Gloucester

“I just had my Christmas get-together from work at Big Rig Kitchen. I'm glad to say that we had a great service. The food delicious and fresh. The waiter assigned was warmth, attentive and fast. We were a group of ten. He really did a great job, I booked it in advance and everything was ready for us. Kudos to all the team! Amazing service. Highly recommend it.“

“We stopped in at Broadhead Brewery in Orleans on a hot day. There was a live band playing which was a nice surprise. We tasted 4 different kinds of beer, with our favorite being the blueberry blonde, and Neipa. We enjoyed a beautiful and tasty charcuterie board along with warm pretzel bites and dips. While we sat inside to endulge in the air conditioning, they do have a really nice patio, equipped with umbrellas for shade, a bean bag game, and speakers to hear the band playing inside. Definitely worth a visit. T“

“Nice dog-friendly craft brewery. It was quiet when we were there on a weekday but it seems to have a good crowd. The staff were friendly and helpful. We tried the ESB and oatmeal stout and both were great. There is no fod since dogs are allowed. It's a stupid government rule in my opinion, but I would have have more dog friendly places like this anyway. It's a great spot - we'll be back.“

“Such a gem of a spot! Spark is our go to for post-work brews. Beautiful space makes for a great option for date night too. Pizzas are sooooo good ❤️“

“The best under-the-radar brewery in Ottawa. We came here on a Tuesday afternoon for a shopping pit-stop, and we were not disappointed. We were the only people there. The woman working there was very helpful, cheerful, and smiley. She made us feel very welcome. The two IPAs we had were crisp, and the soft pretzel was a nice snack.“

“great smooth tasting beer...highly recommend!“

“You have to try the COLD IPA..it’s awesome..best beer ever!!!!“

“Nice little brewery! It was our first time at this place and it did not disappoint. They have a good selection of card and board games. Bartender was nice and accommodating and the washrooms were nice and clean. Overall, good spot to chill and have a beer.“

“A good range of beers including some excellent approachable beers like the Cream Ale. Service is also excellent and friendly while the speedy delivery in Ottawa is ace.“

“This is a great pub with a massive dog friendly patio. The beers were really good, the food was excellent (jerk chicken and chicken sandwich!)
The reason I’m giving this only 4 stars is that it’s not table service, you order through the QR code and they bring everything to you. However, when you pay online, you tip before receiving your beer, food or service which is hard concept for me to get used too.
With that being said, the beers and food came out quickly, and there was always someone walking around to check on you.“

“Outstanding venue. Excellent beer. Wonderful, attentive staff. Owners who elevate music to an experience beyond all expectations with infectious "Kid In A Candy Store" excitement. Ample parking. Fully accessible. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Food was too good, forgot to take photos!!
Service was perfect, bartender was attentive and friendly and gave a great recommendation. I was wavering between the nachos and the Wellness Salad and she said some great things about the salad, so that’s what I got. Great choice! Perfectly dressed, everything in it was fresh and tasty, one of the best salads I’ve ever had!! Bf said his French onion soup was very good too! Very happy we went there tonight and will definitely return next time we’re in Ottawa!

Vegetarian options: Wellness Salad a perfect 10 and vegetarian! Meat can be added but I didn’t miss it at all.“

“Great service and amazing food. Recommend to everyone that goes to Ottawa :)“

“I've had the great pleasure of being a fan of Dominion City Brewing for years now. What's sets these fine folks apart is not just excellent, and FUN craft beer releases, but the people behind it. They are wonderful.

Every visit to the taproom or community event I've attended is always in great company. Their seasonal releases, brewery collaborations, and awesome merch are backed with a ton of goodness. There's always a little something for everyone.

I take a BIG pleasure in being a regular part of their "Book Club" as well, and the discussions and people I've met have added a lot to my regular social calendar - something I look forward to each month!

My Friday nights just ain't right without a great brew from Dominion City ?☮️“

“Great beer and Beerhall food specialties! Staff are awesome and friendly as well.“

“Spectacular. Nice chunk of lime on my Diet Coke. The calamari is the best I've ever had. WOW.“
