11 Best Craft Breweries near Guelph

“The Absolute Elsewhere Maibock is definitely a go to beer .“

“I've always been a fan of Wellington beer, so l was stoked to finally visit the brewery. Cool store when you first walk in. I left with a nice glass and some beer and the merch is really cool along with the discs they sell for disc golf!
We went for lunch so there weren't many food options other than snacks, so we got some Grilled Brie Cheese Sandwiches which were fine, I mean, Brie is always amazing, but it was just missing something whether it was honey and nuts, cranberry sauce, ketchup etc. The beer was great as expected. We all got flights and enjoyed all of our drinks. Favourites included the Crispy Forever,, S.P.A., and Helles Lager. Fair prices here and a nice atmosphere.
Our server was soooo nice too, she heard that I was skeptical on trying the County Brown Ale so she so kindly brought me a little sample to try during our tasting! I'm not big on porters/ stouts and can be picky with dark brown ales, but I very much enjoyed this one, so thank you for the taster! Will be back in the summer hopefully :)“

“Fantastic atmosphere and super friendly staff. Highly recommended.“

“Mine and my partners go to date spot! It’s a cute place iconic and special to Guelph! The owners and staff are super friendly.
Beer is good, decor and atmosphere is great, cozy, welcoming, and casual. Only snack flights available but due to their location, there’s lots of food around to bring with you. It’s a great place to meet up with friends, have a date night, or sit on your own quietly.
There’s always lots of events going on so be sure the check the schedule.“

“OG major brewery for southern Ontario! Such a neat history, still on display upstairs, where the bartender invited us to look around. After a 50-year hiatus for getting caught sending beer to Al Capone, they've been growing since the 80s. Love the smell of freshly boiling grains :)“

“Awesomeness for sure! 11 Stars!“

“First time at the brewery yesterday! The team is so kind and we didn’t even realize how long we were there because we were having such a great time. We played some games and got cans to go, as well. We got a few different pints as well as a flight for drinks. For food, we got a pretzel stick, beef patties, the Polish on a Bun, and the Donair. Everything tasted great and I’ll be thinking about that donair for a while. Can’t wait to come back!“

“This was my first time here and Zoe made my experience so amazing and memorable. She made me and my partner feel so comfortable and guided us through all the multiple options they have on tap till we found one that suited our taste the best.

This is somewhere I would recommend to anyone 10/10 times. We will definitely be returning due to the service alone.“
