| - The Brewpub hours are different than the Bottleshop hours. The Brewpub's hours are from what I'm told dictated by the actual brewery operations not being able to coincide with the pub which is a backwards law here in Canada. Put some rails and designate a hardhat area and you can brew 24 hours a day and not have such limited hours.
100% I can see how this patio and roll up doors is the bees knees in the summer, but aint no one hanging outside in the winter.
They came highly recommended as a brewers brewery. Where brewers come to drinks. Owners Mike & Luke have the science behind things with biochemistry degrees. This is seemingly popular as Dillon's owner teaches biochemistry. Their offerings are imperial stout heavy with something for everyone. They also like saison/farmhouse wild yeast strains.
No growler fills, but they do guided tours that you can schedule, just not outside of business hours because of the whole production thing. I guess there is wiggle room to this.
Staff are ok, they love beer and they love working here, but I'm not sure they like customer service or hospitality. I had multiple questions that didn't get answered or I got a shrug implying tough luck.
It's not quite communal seating and it's very weird to have a lunch only menu on weekends when you aren't even open during lunch hours. 2-4:30 on the weekends is like Brunch's weird cousin of just snacks. It seems Canada love Chicken liver, mussels and brats because I'd say 1/3 of all the places I've eaten at offered all of these. It's a small menu, you can tell the chef made this menu on things they could prep quickly. All their dishes are plated very well and super appetizing and great for a brewpub, but if you are coming here to eat you might be disappointed. Chicken liver mousse needed some sweetness to balance, the cherries weren't enough. Beer needs a heartier pairing than cheeses, salads, snacks, but $14 for a bratwurst, come on guys. Falafal anything for $12, how is falafel $12 and duck meatballs $13. There are plenty of places to eat besides here, they are known for their beer. I'd barely call it charcuterie.
Décor is eclectic, European and bistro like.
Beers are good, the menu pushes things and it's fluid with the trends. Since there is no bottleshop separate account it's small (basically just a 5 foot by 5 foot counter) where you see the board, tell the staff what you want, they go and get it and you leave, not even a real coat rack so you get people hanging out and it's a mess. If I lived around here I'd pick stuff up all the time since they have limited hours in the actual place where you can eat and drink.
To me all that can be overlooked for day drinking on the patio, but it's biggest weakness' are like the cold light of day in the winter.
