Ale in Leamington?

Post by the_mad_brewer »

Hello Folks. Does anyone have any idea of where a thirsty traveler might find a decent pint in or around Leamington?

Cheers!

I'm from the Leamington area and I don't remember any bars in the area that served decent beer. Your best bet, if you don't mind about a 40 minute drive, is to head up to Windsor. There are a couple of pubs with a fair import selection (Kildare House, Patrick O'Ryans, Butcher & Banker) and one with a few Guelph/Toronto micros on tap (Phog Lounge). If you're stuck in Leamington you're probably out of luck...

Depending on what you consider “decent”, I would think you could find some Walkerville in the area. Contact the brewery and they’ll let you know where to find some.

Good point Beer Geek. Walkerville has been pretty aggressive in placing their product in the area. You might get lucky in Leamington, if Walkerville's your thing. Good luck.

Consider this a second for Phog in Windsor. Can't go wrong with Wellington Russian Imperial Stout on tap!!!
