Craft Beer
Outstanding craft beer selections and brewery experiences
Average craft beer score: 8.4/10
Outstanding
Broadhead Brewing Company
8.5Broadhead earns this card through the beer program itself: eight Classics, a rotating 174 Taproom Series, and a taproom built around what the brewery makes. The room reads as a beer-first visit, with barbecue and events adding reasons to stay longer.
Braumeister Bierhalle
9.5Braumeister reads first as a brewery-backed beer hall: locally produced craft beer sits beside German and Austrian pub food, with pretzels, Currywurst, schnitzel, and shared seating all supporting a beer-led visit.
Flora Hall Brewing
8.9Beer is not an add-on here: Flora Hall brews on site, keeps core styles and newer releases in play, and builds the food menu around lingering rounds rather than quick pints. The tap list has enough range for hop drinkers, malt drinkers, and non-alcoholic orders.
Brew Revolution
9.5Beer is the reason the room exists: Brew Revolution brings house-made pours, guest taps, cider, wine, mixed drinks, and a taproom built for tasting. The food and event calendar work around that beer-first centre rather than sitting beside it.
Tooth and Nail Brewing Company
9.2Tooth and Nail is a beer-first address with enough range to reward focused drinking: pilsner, stout, saison, pale ale, IPA, Kellerpils, and seasonal pours all have a place. The food menu supports that purpose instead of distracting from it.
Orleans Brewing Co.
8.9Beer is the reason the room makes sense. The lineup has a flagship hazy IPA, a lagered ale, a big IIPA, a sour, and a maple red ale, while the kitchen gives those pours enough food support to keep the visit from feeling like a tasting-only stop.
Dominion City Brewing Co.
9.2Dominion City leads with beer: Sunsplit, Town & Country, and a current taproom list deep enough to make the brewery itself the main reason to go.
Excellent
Spark Beer & Pizza
9.2Spark's beer program is not a side list: the room is a brewery first, with hoppy, sour, Belgian-style, foeder-aged and draft pours tied to local malt, hops, yeast and award history.
Wellington Gastropub
8.7The beer list is broad, current and Ontario-heavy, giving Wellington the drinks backbone a gastropub needs to feel convincing.
The Brig Pub
9.0The tap list gives the pub side a clear reason to lead the visit. The Brig Pub House Lager sits beside Ontario and regional names from Beau's, Beyond the Pale, Cameron's, Perth, Steam Whistle, Sidelaunch, and Waupoos cider.
Hunter's Public House
9.0Local and regional taps are part of the draw, with Big Rig, Stray Dog, Broadhead, Dominion City, Perth, Ashton, and cider labels giving the bar side real purpose.
Good Options
Chez Lucien
9.3Beer belongs in the core visit, not off to the side. The room is framed as a bar bistro with craft beer, making it a strong fit for a burger, fries, and pint plan instead of a purely food-only stop.
Pour Boy
9.1The tap list gives the pub a beer spine without making the room feel precious. Pour Boy Lager, familiar Ontario producers, and a rotating seasonal line make beer an easy pairing for wings, poutine, and event nights.
