Vimy Brewing Company

Vimy Brewing Co. in Ottawa was launched by 2 former Canadian Forces members who named it in honour of the singular victory at Vimy Ridge in France during WWI by the Canadian Corps. When all previous allied efforts to take the ridge had failed, the 4 Canadian divisions, fighting together for the first time under Canadian leadership, prevailed.

The bar is frequented by former forces members quietly reminiscing about their service and enjoying the smooth, quality brews. It is also a unique location as every year in early Summer, the close protection unit of the Military Police do a VIP escort exercise that culminates in action at the bar! Patrons are warned ahead of time.

Two of the standout beers are the Red Ale and the NEIPA.

The red ale is smooth, light, well rounded, and has an underlying mild sweetness to it instead of being malt forward as is characteristic of this style.

The NEIPA is gloriously redolent of grapefruit and citrus scents, and the flavour continues in the sip. In keeping with the ethos of the brewery, the hazy brew is well-balanced and delicious.

When you visit Vimy Brewing Co, you don't just support a local small business, you support the community of veterans.

Their lagered ale is perfect and geared towards the normie Beer Enjoyer. This location has the vibe of a cool Edmonton local's bar without the Edmontonians. What more do you want Beer Enjoyer?

Fist time being to the new location and it was lovely, though a bit tucked away. I was early for an appt and so I decided to grab a beer to kill time. I had the place to myself and enjoyed the Vimy Maple Red, one of their seasonal draft selections. Found out they are dog friendly so I'll be back with my pup!

Excellent beer, they have four different variations on the IPA and each one of them is the best I’ve ever had. They do free deliveries in the Ottawa region. Highly recommended

Once you find it, a record scratch moment of bad beer - if only it were as cold as the service.

Best place at Ottawa.

Friendly staff, and super good beer! Me likey!

It was ok

Nous sommes aller à cette microbrasserie avant d'aller voir jouer les SENS. il y a longtemps que je la connaissais, mais je n'y étais jamais aller. Belle découverte et leurs bières sont excellentes. Petite boutique pour acheter vêtement, verres et autres accessoires et bien sûr des canettes de bières. Le service est excellent, nous avons pu jaser avec la personne qui y travaillait.

Love the North East IPA and supporting our Canadian Veterans!
