Just had an overnight in Ottawa and hit the Clock Tower Brewpub in the Bymarket area. I hear they have two other locations. My first pint was the Wishart's Bitter, an excellent ESB. Fell in love with this one immediately!
This I followed up with a well balanced Fenian Red, another enjoyable experience. The ESB though was so good though , that it kept calling so I decided not to try anything else new and went back to it instead. It was a great decision!
The place was packed early with small line-ups formed at the door. Most were there for supper and drinks. Guess this means the food is good and I just ordered the wrong thing on the menu.
It's a place I'll hit again when in Ottawa.

The Clock Tower Brewpub Ottawa
I've been told they have cleaned up their menu and by extension, I hope, their beer. They are even running radio commercials now that focus on their beer. Which is a change from previous years when you could walk into any of their locations and not even find one of their own beers on tap, or worse, if it was, it was in horrible condition.
