A brewery visit makes for a great bonding time that can easily extend the day through, like time spent at Kingston’s breweries, Gananoque Brewing Company in the 1000 Islands, Rurban Brewing in Cornwall, and Windmill Brewery in Johnstown on the St. Lawrence River.
Cider brewing companies are another hip part of the brewing scene in South Eastern Ontario. Clafeld Cider, Apple Falls Cider, 401 Cider, Hard Way Cider Co., Empire Cider and the County Cider Company and more are brewing up delicious with a focus on using local ingredients like honey, and locally-grown apples.
