Great spot in Prince Edward's County.
Reclaimed timber frame building just outside of Picton on Hwy 49. Large patio, fire pit, horse shoes, tetherball, small playground for kids.
Menu is predominantly Mexican but a tad pricey.
The beer is quite good, had about 8-10 offerings on the go. The Farmers tan Harvest Ale is everything the Muskoka Harvest Ale used to be. Looking forward to the Centenial hop version. Many stouts as well.
A good stop if you're in the county.

I drove by once but didn't go in. It looked nice, but really big for where it was. But the parking lot was full too, so maybe they're on to something.
It's amazing the province has come so far that a place like this can open and even on a place like this there's hardly a peep. What a change from just 5 years ago.

The Prince Edward County beer tours are becoming quite the thing. There were two limo buses there when we pulled up.Craig wrote:I drove by once but didn't go in. It looked nice, but really big for where it was. But the parking lot was full too, so maybe they're on to something.

Actually, the Farmers tan Harvest Ale With Centenial hops is pretty great.

Was at Wvrst on Saturday and noticed The Father (an 8% ABV stout) by Parsons was pouring. I hadn't heard of Parsons, but I love a nice strong stout so decided to give it a chance. Not bad but fairly mild compared to most imperial stouts (locally made and otherwise) that I've had. Did a quick search after the fact and this might even be barrel-aged, in which case the barrels didn't seem to impart much flavour, at least on the pour that I had. Still, any brewery launching with a whole family line of stouts is worth watching for me and I hope to see a few more of their beers surface in Toronto.

I was at Parsons in the spring on a brewery tour with a buddy of mine during a return trip to Canada. His 25 year old daughter drove us around all day. Sweet. We hit Parsons, Lake On The Mountain, County Road, and finished at a restaurant called County Canteen, which has a decent tap selection. IMO Parsons was the best of the three breweries. We sampled everything. Very consistent, no bad beers. Also, the staff seemed quite well informed. It's a lovely place and setting as well.
