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.“

“Amazing beer and amazing people!“

“Friendly and knowledgeable staff!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I would give this place 100/10 stars if I could.
My boyfriend and I came from Elora and played disc golf at their 9 hole disc golf course which was so fun !! They also have available pickleball courts.

We were greeted by a super nice host/server and sat in the dining room. The ambiance of the restaurant is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. They had board games available to play as well as table tennis which is fun to have.

Our server Caitlin was an absolute gem. She was super nice and attentive. My boyfriend got a flight which he liked and I got a mocktail that was super yummy. Our food was AMAZING!! The spinach dip cheesy bread was so good and so was the Tuscan burger !! Everything was so reasonably priced!

We will definitely be returning and will be suggesting this place to others! Thanks Four Fathers team for making it a great experience !!“
