Prince Edward County

Post by hopdevil »

Recently had the pleasure of visiting Prince Edward County ( Picton, Sandbanks, Wellington, etc )
Gorgeous area for walking, sightseeing, etc

The beer there is excellent. Many breweries.

From a Hoppy beer fan perspective:

Matron Brewing in Bloomfield -down a gravel lane - Nice spot
Their Janky IPA is fantastic, served fresh on tap there or in cans for takeaway.

Parsons - farm brewery just outside Picton- Noice IPA is fantastic
Westy Pale Ale ( West Coast Style) also very good

Prince Eddy Brewing ( in Picton )- So Many Friends Session NEIPA - Fantastic - as good as most of our regular NEIPAs

Slake Brewing has some very good beers

Visited Midtown Brewing in Wellington - lovely place with terrific staff - some really nice beers there

This is a spectacular part of our province - wineries and cideries are also prevalent
Highly recommend a visit.

It's one of the best parts of the province to visit, and the beer scene is awesome. Two minutes from Matron is All My Friends Beer Co., which I consider one of Ontario's top breweries (currently ranked 5th on Untappd).

Strange Brew is definitely worth a visit, and I'm also a fan of Gillingham. I've heard good things about Dune Hopper. And then there are the wineries, cideries, distilleries...! There's even a small-batch mead producer, called Honey Pie.

Basically, we're talking about the promised land here. Anyone wanna set up an exporting business?
