I prefer this way of beer buying. I don't think I've purchase beer ever via the older Beer Stores.

So pack your patience!

There's signs posted near the entrance for covid precautions. Currently, 3 customers are allowed inside at one time. A staff member inside will wave at you when you're allowed to enter the store. There's black bins on the right when you enter to put your empties in. Since there were two employees working and one was helping the customer ahead of me the other assisted me at another cash register. Between the two counters there's two fridges with beer. There's also two self-serve kiosks near the entrance to make purchases.

Located just off of Winston Churchill (in the same plaza as a larger Pizza pizza), Glass half Full has been helping Oakville get their .. ahem, buzz on, al by themselves for 10 years. So what are they? No, not a bar, but a DIY wine and beer making business who really know their stuff. I got to talking to owner Denis P, and he was a wealth of knowledge about different varietals of Wine, different accessories, and beer! The wine has been their business for years but recently they've moved into helping customers brew their own beer right on sight. Different from other U-brew locations, they get the freshest malted barley in 6 different varieties from a local bavarian brewmaster (nothing preserved or chemically enhanced). You place an order which for a batch of 24 mini growlers (a mini growler is equivalent to 2 tall boys each) runs between $55-65 a batch. They even have a Gluten Free beer for those who love beer but doesn't love them in return. The wine making process takes a couple of months from initial order to bottling day, while the beer only takes 2 weeks between brew to bottle! I didn't put down an order this time but I wanted to see what they offered and their pricing. I might personally hold out for when they get a batch of seasonal grapes from South America in to make wine (only happens twice a year).

See my first review for more details, but I finally tried the brew I brought home (since it's…read moresupposed to sit for a least a week) and it comfortably bring this place up to a '5'. I tried the dunkel again - this time at home - and enjoyed it even more than the first tasting on location. It's likely because I had it refrigerated this time. It's all a matter of taste, and I know some aficionados prefer just cool (or even room temperature); however for me, I just loved it. I offered some to a friend who couldn't believe it was a u-brew. A wonderfully rich, full tasting beer with maple added. Completely sold on being a regular at this point and can't wait to try their other offerings. Also, if you don't read my original review, just take away that you're getting excellent beer (by any standard) at very low cost.

There's no displays or features or anything in the retail area. Also, this location always smells like a bottle depot (The place in other provinces where you return your empties for cash) and isn't really clean; I'm scared to touch anything, even the beer I'm buying and the change the cashier is giving me. The good part about this location is that they have a pretty decent selection. Unless you like Big Rock. They only carry the variety pack, no Grasshopper or Trad 6-packs here.

It's our go-to spot before heading into downtown Toronto and checking into our hotel, and we find it to be the perfect store for stocking up on some tasty local options to enjoy later. The store is well organized, easy to navigate, and makes exploring Canadian craft beers fun and hassle-free. The employees are friendly and helpful, which is important because the options in the store can feel overwhelming. They have a small, private lot that offers free parking and the prices are fair.
