Tasty beers

One of the best breweries in Stratford! Great ambience, good selection of beers, a bit small, but an amazing service! It's a must visit place if your coming to Stratford!

Has nothing to do with Ballet but the Glizzies slap.

NIce local brewery. Smelled wonderfully like beer. Bought some cans to bring home. I did not stay on the patio, but it seems like a small place for locals.

Service was great! We sampled almost all their beet and bought some to go. Small venue but nice atmosphere and definitely worth stopping in.

Had time to grab one beer, was nice to hang out, but the patio was full and had to grab a table inside. You can see and smell the brewing area in back. Not a bad little place.

The drinks were pleasant, but there were only two tables occupied. Perhaps my choice was misguided. Locals seem to enjoy this place, yet with merely two tables and at 7:38 PM, the patrons were enthusiastically sharing jokes and colorful language. It was quite off-putting. As a visitor, I wished not to understand English, but their loud conversations about dates, families, and marriages gave me a headache. It was a rather distressing drinking experience. Next time, I’ll prefer the quieter ambiance of a tourist bar.

I always thought only ill-mannered, uneducated people would be full of profanity and criticize tourists, especially since I am Asian. The problem is, I understood everything they said. The two local women at this place were truly the infamous "Heren." I actually encountered them. It was terrifying—whoever moves here would be laughed at relentlessly. It seems judgmental people exist everywhere in the world. These two white women had the same spiteful demeanor as gossipy women in a poor village. Living in Toronto is safer; no one has time to judge others because there are too many people, and everyone is too busy to comment on others.

The server was in a difficult position. She knew the local patrons, so she couldn't join their critique of other guests, nor could she sternly stop the two drunken, foul-mouthed women.

Fantastic selection of craft beers. Always something new to try. The EPA and the constantly changing variations of Wild Child are a must try.

The service was really good. Once I knew we had to go inside to order drinks for the patio, it was great. The bartender had great recommendations for a flight of tasters and tell us a little bit about the history of the brewery. The atmosphere was nice and he came to check up on us a couple of times. I would definitely recommend checking out this venue if you like local breweries.

Had not visited before and I'm kickin' myself. Had a few brews on their patio and very impressive. A jasmine rice lager and a sour ale.

Staff were fantastic and knowledgeable.
