9 Best Craft Breweries near Kitchener

“I love twb! but I hate your parking lot! those pot holes keep trying to kill my yaris, please fix them so I can bring a car full of people on my next visit“

“This is one of the best breweries in Kitchener/Waterloo and Cambridge. Personally, it's one of the few breweries in Canada that come across entirely personable and incredibly welcoming to everyone. The owner is extremely helpful, enthusiast, and well-knowledgeable about all areas of their business. The available beers will rotate, so often you can try a variety of different delicious beers throughout the year but still pick up their staples which are absolutely fantastic (make sure to do yourself a favour and grab some Lando!) The prices are fair, the areas are clean/well managed, and I have never encountered an issue with the mulitple times I have attended this establishment whether if it was for concerts, going with friends or just stopping in for a beer after work. It is one of the few places I know that not only an adult can enjoy, but kids are welcome with their parents and even dogs, too! I wish there were more places like Short Finger Brewing Co. in Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge, but I am extremely happy we have this place as not only do they support the Region of Waterloo at every opportunity but host a number of events for Arts community and more. I know if I stop in, it'll never be for a quick visit because it feels like a home away from home. And honestly, I love that.“

“Stopped in for the bottleshop after a day trip to St.Jacobs like we usually do. Decided to stay for flights because the menu offered many more than what was in the bottleshop. The Coffee Cream Ale with cinnamon sugar rim knocked it out of the park!(#12) So much so, we took a growler home! Sierra was an amazing server!! She looked after us so well, we decided to stay for dinner after perusing the menu. Sierra turned a quick stop into a fun filled night of drinks, dinner, and fabulous service. We will definitely be back for more than just the bottleshop!! Great job Sierra!!!“

“Amazing staff and delicious lunch. Will definitely be back“

“Wonderful venue with delicious food, fast service, and friendly staff! One of our favorite places to go!“

“The food is exceptional every time. From the pizza, to the duck wings, to the burgers. Keep up the great work. You've earned the word of mouth advertising you are getting.“

“This is one of our favourite breweries in KW. The beer varieties are always great, they work with the local pizza guys to have delicious pizza brought to the bar and they recently brought in some Ontario Coolers and Wine for our gluten free friends. Dog friendly and a nice patio, I'm always happy to spend time there.“

“Being an introvert, love how this gem of a brewery gets the extrovert out. Crowd size is formidable the 2 times I went so far.“
