feBREWary at Pubs & Restaurants...Beau's is proud to announce that more than 70 Pubs & Restaurants will be celebrating feBREWary with Beau's! They'll be debuting a different one-off beer from Beau's every week, all month long!

Every Saturday we’ll have a special theme, events, and activities for feBREWary at the brewery, and you’ll be able to catch a round-trip bus from Ottawa to join in the fun. Bus details to be announced soon, stay tuned!

Fun night last night at the Wellington Gastropub for the Beau's/Stock Pot tap takeover.

Solid beers all around. Space Dragon stole the show.
