This brewery is in a converted school just outside of Simcoe. Their beer is superb and they have super interesting food on offer! Just make sure if you are ordering food you've got time as they tend to be a "slow food" option! Worth the wait though! There are board games in the tap room to pass the time!

Food scene
The absolute best bakery around. Pop in to get your bread and treats for your stay and make sure to try the cinnamon buns or butter tarts while you're there!
They also have other kitchen staples like cheese, pickles and jams.
Pro-tip: Go early to avoid sellout as they tend to have slim pickings by mid-afternoon.
