    Fermentation kettles
    Ray B.

    Sampled a few flights with our lunch at the Cowbell. Food, drinks, and atmosphere were all on point. Will make a point of revisiting when in the area.

    The outside of the building.  Hard to miss it!

    I swung in here on a chilly Monday in late June, figuring it would probably be more memorable and delicious than the Tim Horton's that the sign on the bike trail was trying to direct me towards. I was not to be disappointed. I went with the hot chicken sandwich for lunch, which was pretty tasty and well flavored, albeit not as hot as when I had hot chicken in Nashville. Still, it can border on too hot in Nashville, so "medium" heat is not all bad. Sweet potato fries made for an excellent side. Cowbell makes both cider and beer - how cool is that? - and I went for a peach cider. Tasty, medium-sweet, maybe not the best cider I've had all year but good enough that rather than venture back out into the cold, I decided to stay and have more Cowbell. And after sampling a couple, the blueberry lemonade sour was the winner. If you like sours, this seasonal one is not to be missed. Both the lemons and blueberries were noticeable, with that distinctive sour tartness that sets them apart from other styles of beer. If I'd tried that one first, it would have been hard to switch away from it! They also offer flights, and even label the beers/ciders on the flight tray. In retrospect, that may have been the way to go, but since I didn't, I'll just have to go back someday. The bartenders also win points for being friendly and good at their job. I chatted with three of them while I was there and would be happy to run into any of them on a future visit. The building itself is also really nice, inside and out. It reminded me of BrewDog's brewery in Ohio, perfectly done up, views of the brewing area, nice long tables, even a gift shop area if I remember, a quality experience all around. I forgot to check if they have shuffleboard, and I don't think they have a hotel with beers on tap in the room, but it's currently in my top 5 list for breweries to visit based on the overall experience.

    Bonnie the best!!!

    We haven't even left the brewery yet and it's been such a great experience that we had to leave a review ASAP. Bonnie served us and we couldn't have had a better experience. If they don't name a beer after her, put a C on her uniform and give her a raise then we may consider changing this rating to 4 stars. Bonnie was friendly, hilarious and a phenomenal server. We will come back just to see Bonnie. And maybe have the beer and food... because they were also amazing. We would attach a photo except we inhaled it all so we can't. So we took a photo with Bonnie instead

    The massive BrewHouse dominates the rural landscape

    Blows you away to discover this massive brew house in small town SW Ontario. Food and service were excellent and the samplers of brew of 4x4oz for $10 great. Caution servings are large. We split Margaretta pizza and large Caesar salad which could have served 3.

    Pretty lame that they wouldn't allow our small dog to sit outside with us on the patio.

    Not that I am a liquor or alcohol snob, all our stops for the 24' Fall tour has been great…read more We have found the best! From the flight of Black and Berry Cider, Apple Blossom Honey Brown Ale, This is My Day Job Hazy IPA and Batch 17, Strawberry Wine. Ginger Pear Hard Apple Cider 5% abv was fantastic. The service was great greeted by two friendly dogs from their yard to the Cider Wine Maker Erin. Super kind and friendly atmosphere even after Halloween Haunted Orchard weekend that supports a local skating club.

    If you're in the area, you need to make sure you spot the big apple skull on the barn and stop in…read moreand check this place out. This is absolutely one of my favorite places to stop in for a drink. What's better than sitting in an apple orchard on a beautiful day drinking some amazing beer? Add in live music, a food truck, good company and you've got yourself a time. My personal favorite is the... *swoon*... Strawberry Cider, and by the way it was flying outta the keg at the local Bayfield Beerfest this year, then the locals definitely agree with me on that one. The property itself is beautiful. Quaint and quiet. Serene but still funky. Lots of parking and easily accessible off highway 21. Activities and games for the kids to play as well. I'm also 99% sure they offer boondocking so if that's something you're into camping/trailer wise, do look it up. Washrooms are large, clean and gender neutral. Have I mentioned how lovely the owners are and how welcoming their staff is? If you spot the owners, ask for the story of how this place came to be. It's a goodie.
