“Wonderful staff and friendly place to make wine and beer batches. I have been a customer for over 4 years now“

“Used flyers to try every beer on the menu and it didn't let us down. The pretzel was amazing, the beer cheese was superb as was the honey mustard. The mexi fries were superb, huge portion, and the black and blue burger was fantastic. I'll be back when I next visit and my friends will now be visiting quite a lot. Excellent place.“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Ryan during my recent visit to Niagara Brewing, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service. From the moment we were seated, Ryan made sure we felt welcome and comfortable, providing excellent recommendations for both food and drinks. His knowledge of the menu was exceptional, and he took the time to explain the different beers, which made our experience even more enjoyable.

Ryan was friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and ensured our glasses were never empty. His positive attitude and enthusiasm really added to the relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere at the brewery. Overall, I had a fantastic experience thanks to Ryan's top-notch service. I'll definitely be back and hope to be seated in his section again!“

“8 craft beers available. 4 regular and 4 seasonal. You can get 4 in a flight or all 8 if you wish. For some reason you cannot mix the regular and the seasonal, which is a shame. Basic pub crib food. A nice atmosphere in an upmarket bar in the Casino.“

“Great beer, cider and food“

“Hands down, one of the finest craft breweries in North America. I have been a fan since they started their degree program in 2010. It has been a pleasure to follow their graduates as they move to prominent breweries in Canada and beyond. They have a permanent lineup of core beers that represent major lagers and ales from around the world. My favourite is their Strong Ale 101, a classic Scotch Ale. Most interesting to me are the small batch beers brewed by the students. The creativity and quality are extraordinary. A recent roster included 2 German Kolsch variants, a peach ale, a stylized Belgian Brown ale and a German Dunkelweizen. In the past, students released English spiced winter ales and the best Hefeweizen brewed outside Germany that I have ever tasted. Their Growler Club is a bargain. For the past 5 years or so, I convinced my family to spring for a membership to celebrate my birthday and Fathers Day. Free seminars, discounted merch, free tastings and 1 complimentary growler fill per month! Plus a free excuse to visit once a month to sample the exclusive Growler Club brew. They are currently shut down because of the Pandemic, but I encourage beer afficionados in Ontario to sample their wares by placing a phone order. Shipping is free or nominal in Ontario. Just to show my continued support, I actually made the 2+ hour round trip yesterday to pick up a case of assorted beers. Their seminars have transitioned to a Zoom based format. You can even sample along with the speaker by ordering the target beers for each session. Moderated by master brewers on staff, they are well worth attending.“

“We had a great time! Our closest 17 friends who we call Butler Brews enjoyed every second! We watched a wedding, had great food paired with some great beers! The staff was amazing and I’m pretty sure are now my new BFf! So much fun!“

“Finally got here after are Jrad show was rescheduled great sours and great IPAs and NEIPAs we got some apps before the show with Beers and then the next day came back for lunch and had the Ultimate BBQ platter that was a lot more meat than I expected great sauce not to sweet and not to smoky and the sweet rub on the chicken is right on spot. Warning ⚠️ Jonny B will be back 👍🍻👍“

“My wife and I went for the first time everything we heard about it is true. The atmosphere the service the food is outstanding. This is a place you don’t want to mess put it on your list if you want to try and upbeat friendly and great food atmosphere“

“The food was great and the service was spectacular! Bill is very attentive and provided us with many activities to do even though it’s not tourist season right now. The locals that were there were also very nice and helpful. They even gave us sleds to take with us so that we could go sledding! The atmosphere is one that makes you want to stay for a long time. The daily special was delicious. Highly recommend.“

“First time here. Walleye Sandwich, Mac-n-cheese, Wings out of this world. Hoping to catch all three next time I’m in town. Bonus to catch up with Liam behind the bar. 💯 recommend.“
