Absolutely wonderful experience! Great views, great vibes! Service was phenomenal- bartender was super knowledgeable and allowed us to sample. Very attentive as well! Selection was great, there’s something for everyone. We got the tacos and the beers paired well with them. Loved the salsas! Highlight of our Niagara trip!! Can’t wait to come back

Niagara Oast House Brewers is a must-visit in Niagara-on-the-Lake, especially if you love craft beer. Housed in a big red barn, it’s got a cool, vibe with plenty of character. I had the ‘Tequila Lime Gose’, and it was smooth and refreshing, they always have a great selection of seasonal brews to try. One of the best parts of the experience is being greeted by Anna, whose energy and warmth make you feel right at home. Her enthusiastic “Welcome!” and “What’ll you have?” set the tone the moment you walk in, making every visit feel like catching up with an old friend. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Oast House is a fun, casual place to grab a drink and unwind. Try any one of their fantastic Patina Pizzas. You will not be disappointed!

Although I've purchased Oast's beers at the LCBO many times, this was my first in-person visit. We went in the front (retail location and bar) and the lady there was so friendly and chatty. Very informative about the area as well as all of the products offered here. We purchased some items to take home, then went around the back, to the outside bar by the vineyard. There are fewer beer choices on tap here (compared to the inside taps) and when we arrived mid-afternoon, all seats were in the sun. I didn't love that there are no prices (anywhere that we could see, inside or out) but 2 beers ordered outside came to $20 even. They have a kitchen but today (Monday afternoon in May) the kitchen was not open. All in all, an enjoyable visit!

Visited on a Tuesday, tried the Patina Pep pizza. Stone oven. Amazing crust and fresh ingredients. Hands-down, the best in the area. To be honest, one of the top 10 pies I've ever had. Will be back to test their BBQ as it Seems legit too. Food-wise, Pizza only served Monday to Wednesday... BBQ is Thursday to Sunday. Respective Menus attached.

Oast house was our 3rd stop on a last minute winery and brewery tour and ended up being the most memorable of all of our stops. Rachel took great care of us ensuring we tasted a wide variety of their beers. All were tasty, even ones we had doubts we would like. The tequila lime gose was right up my alley, and definitely my favorite.

Lovvvvvvvvvve their beers! 🍺🍺🍺🍺 They're super nice people there, their beers are of a wide variety of flavours but they do them all so well!! Their Sweet Tea Ale is my favourite!! You can buy their beers in can, bottles and growlers (moonshine jugs). The food around back is off the hook!! We had the sweet potato tacos and the chicken fried steak sandwich with dirty rice. Unbelievably great food!! Full of flavours, quality and it's literally just art!!! The vibe there is so chill and everyone there was just relaxed and hanging out. Totally worth the drive there!! Live music in the summer (we're hoping to play!😃) And it's literally THE Best place in the area. A small town called Virgil in Niagara on the Lake. We just love it there!! Can't wait to go back!!!

I have been to Oast House many times, and the experience is always top notch. It is a quaint and charming facility, with friendly and knowledgeable staff and a great vibe. Of course, the beers are excellent, and we enjoy trying various seasonal ones. There is always a great variety along with the staples like Barnraiser. Definitely worth a stop when in the area.

The Neapolitan-style pizza here, especially the formaggi, is delicious. Nails everything, even that delicate subtle buttery note that sets perfect Neapolitan pizza apart. Easily one of the best pizzas in Ontario. Great beer too.

An excellent stop for our lunch, during a Sunday visit to Niagara -- on Mother's Day! We came on a beautiful sunny day and was able to enjoy the back patio. Unfortunately, we were too early for BBQ season. Inside Oast is Patina restaurant with a delicious offering of pizzas. Order inside and then grab and table either inside or outside. The outdoor dining is large with 2 levels of seating. Great for casual dining with family and friends. Also pet friendly! Our party of 6 + a dog had a great time! Service was friendly and warm. Food did take a while as they were very busy. But it was a nice day and we didn't mind. The pizza by Patina was REALLY GOOD. Highly recommend the Holy Spirit (spicy one) and Soweetie Pie (basically a Hawaiian) pizzas. We were pleasantly surprised and devoured all of it. This makes a great pit stop for food amongst vineyards in the area that do not offer full meals or much food! Will definitely return to try their BBQ next time!

This is a great place to come and drink beer and eat lunch. Great location in Niagara-on-the-lake near HWY 55. Look for the beautiful big red barn. I tried the Strawberry Rhubarb Ale which was delicious. Although they offer a delicious food menu, I didn't eat anything on that visit (next time) but heard the food is amazing. There is indoor & outdoor seating including a 2nd story patio with an amazing view overlooking a vineyard. Staff was friendly and very helpful. You can sample any of their beers on tap. A must visit!

Great brewery in Niagara on the lake. I had their pumpkin beer it is so good and fresh. They have a decent amount of seating. They have a ping pong table which is a nice touch.

Speaking only to tasting room experience. It's a wonderful concept, with an amazing indoor and outdoor space. That's where the positives ended for me. The only beer that was palatable was the biere de garde. All other beers were some combination of lacking carb (critical in any farmhouse ale - I think the saison was pulled from an already opened growler), not to style, or just plain ill executed. The person working the tasting room was patronizing/condescending while also being misinformed/uninformed on their employer's beers (someone leaving as we came in mentioned how uncomfortable they were made to feel as well). The grisette was explained as "a light beer" with zero additional explanation re: style. Really, the customer service aspect as part of the tasting was essentially non-existent. We were told to check off what beers we wanted to taste and then left to sit there until we decided if we wanted to try anything else/buy something. We didn't learn until we were ready to leave that the tasting cost money and actually, no prices for anything were posted anywhere. When I asked if there was a price list I was told "tell me what you're interested in and I'll look up the price." Too bad.

Great spot for a beer and some barbecue. A few fun flavours on tap, but nothing too special. The second floor outdoor seating gives a gorgeous view, but the seating is not as clean as I'd like. The barbecue is pretty well done - soft succulent brisket, flavourful pulled pork, and a good selection of sides. Would recommend a quick stop if you're around.

Oast House Brewers is a craft brewery that opened in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada in 2012. It was founded by friends Cian MacNeill, Kevin Somerville and Mike Berlis. MacNeill had previously spent time working as a winemaker/sommelier and had experience at d'Arenberg Winery in Australia as well as Tawse Winery in the Niagara area. When the three realized that there was no quality beer in the area, they came up with an idea to start a farmhouse brewery. In 2011, a big red barn dating back to the late 1800s became available and the trio jumped at the opportunity. The name 'Oast House' was chosen as an agricultural reference to a traditional oast house, which is a small building dedicated to drying out hops. The brewers at Oast House are 100% dedicated to bottle-conditioning, the application of native yeasts, the use of naturally filtered artesian well water, barrels from neighbor wineries, and the planting and use of local hops. My wife and I visited Oast House Brewers in April 2016. We were on a sightseeing trip to Niagara Falls for four days. Several people had told us to head north and check out Niagara-on-the-Lake for its huge winery scene, but we also heard that breweries were starting to pop up as well. We dedicated a day for visiting wineries and breweries and Oast House was our fifth stop of the day. We really liked how the brewery was a repurposed old barn. The interior was really cool! We sampled several of their offerings including: "Barnraiser Country Ale" (pale ale), "Sweet'n Sow'r" Bière de Mars, Saison Farmhouse Ale, Bière de Garde, Bourbon Coffee Milk Stout, Russian Imperial Stout with Dark Plums, and Eisbock with Icewine Grapes. Everything was excellent! We ending up purchasing bottles of Barnraiser and Sweet'n Sow'r to take home, along with a jar of pickled hop shoots. We will definitely return the next time we're in the Niagara area!

It was a nice visit when I visited last summer and definitely mixed things up from having visited a couple wineries beforehand. Had a reviewed this closer to my visit, I would've remembered the exact beer I ordered. In any case, I went with more of a safe choice, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. They also had a pretty large smokehouse BBQ going when I was there and I enjoyed that quite a bit too. If I can remember correctly, I think I had some wings and pulled pork. As I've seen in another review, things are on the pricier side - but I wouldn't say to the extent that it should be avoided either.

Their beer is fantastic! They had strawberry rhubarb beer - which we ended up getting a growler to go - yes, it's that good! Tip: keep the empty growler for a discount next time you want to fill it up again. Unfortunately, they didn't have food service when we went, so id love to come back and try some of their food. But even tho, the beer was amazing. The staff was super nice and friendly, and to top it, you're right beside a gorgeous vineyard beside the patio.

I was here last Friday for a private event. It's a really cool place. Loved the atmosphere, really brings out the relaxing county vibe also band playing in the patio which made it even better. I tried all the beers that were on tap. In my opinion their dark malt pitchfork was the best, which had nice strong taste. Followed by barn raiser which was great too. But their food was next lvl. Sichuan hot chicken bun probably one of the best chicken burger I ever had. Really I would visit again just for that burger. Only caveat was their parking situation. It is challenging to park during busy hours.

My friend suggested we go to the brewery because her coworker was raving about the peach beer here. We went yesterday right after shopping at the outlet hoping to grab a bite and a drink as we were starting to get hungry. Upon arrival, we were told the wait time for the beer garden is 20 minutes long. We can purchase food at the front of the building to eat but we cannot bring it into the beer garden which is located at the back. We browsed the menu and wasn't impressed with the selection and the fact that we cannot bring it into the garden where we can sit and eat. If we did purchase food, we had to eat it at the curbside or in our car which I wasn't a fan of. When we got our table, we got a nice corner table with a big umbrella which we really liked. They offered a 1/2 pint for $5 and 1 pint for $8.50. Knowing I won't be able to finish and didn't want to get drunk since I didn't eat anything, I went for the 1/2 pint oak-aged peach hefeweizen. It tasted ok to me, I personally did not notice the peach flavour. It was a nice atmosphere with rows and rows of grapevines. It would've been nice if they allowed us to eat in the garden. If we knew in advance, we probably would've chosen to go elsewhere.

In a town of wineries is was great to see a brewery. This place has two sides: the front tasting room and back bar with double decker patio and local band stage. Both were fun. We first stopped in the tasting room which closes at 6pm. Here we got flights with most of their beer offerings. My fav was the seasonal strawberry rhubarb, it was delicious and like nothing I've ever had before (they ran out of it later that night). My husband liked their barn raiser, which is the one that they have on tap at the local restaurants. When the tasting room closed we moved to the back patio and enjoyed our beer with brisket tacos while listening to the Blues band they had playing that night. My husband was so impressed he even bought one of their logo'd shirts.

Excellent location and their craft beer are worth the detour. Several different sizes, including tasting ones, to accommodate everyone. The little shop besides is a nice touch, although during COVID time the waiting time is a bit long. Super friendly staff.

Great spot to grab a quick bite and try some in-house brews while overlooking the winery estates. The sausage was on another level of delicious, an absolute must try and the tacos were good! Has a second level to hang and overlook the vineyard, which is a great place to relax on a nice day. The service was a bit lacking as we didn't have waitstaff checking on us upstairs, despite parties downstairs getting table service. However, hardly a reason to not drop in. Highly recommended!

We stopped here on a whim while touring Niagara-on-the-Lake with out of town guests. They have expanded since our last visit and now have a double-decker patio out back, overlooking rows and rows of grapes! The patio is dog-friendly (2 paws up!) and our dog met two other canines. Our friends and my hubby raved over the Strawberry Rhubarb Ale--light, fruity refreshing and attractive pink color. Perfect for drinking outside on a sunny summer day! Staff all were quite friendly, especially Patrick who was manning a cash register inside the store portion of the brewery. Definitely worth a stop when in NOTL.

We stopped for lunch. The outside dining was great, especially with a party including small children. Our order was taken quickly, and the food came out quickly. The food was tasty, and the portions were generous! The staff was welcoming....over all the experience was really enjoyable!

This was one of the stops on our self-guided bike tour through the wineries of Niagara on the Lake. It was a pleasant surprise. The girls enjoyed a few games of ping pong while we enjoyed our samples. The beers were all very good and the service was very attentive and friendly.

Brewery appears to be new and nicely branded, inside and out. They also serve food which is good to know! When I arrived, it seemed busy due to the St. Patrick's Day festivities. All tables were taken, so there were a lot of people standing around the bar area. There seemed to be more than enough staff to handle the crowd. My impression was just ok, as I didn't find the staff all that friendly...or at least the girl who served me. I had to ask her for recommendations as she wasn't forthcoming. She wasn't enthusiastic or want to take the time to serve, just wanted to move on. Perhaps my experience would've been different with a different server.

Had a wonderful time on the outside deck. Was an extremely warm day but the beverages were very refreshing and the BBQ was absolutely outstanding! The service was exceptional! We'll definitely go back next time we visit Ontario.

Really cool brewery stop to break up all the wineries. Their "backyard" patio is really fun and relaxing. I loved the red truck with the flat bed trailer that acts as the stage. The beer was really good and the food was delicious! We split a an entree and it was the perfect amount of food. See picture below! This is a must do in Niagara-on-the-lake!

We tried their beer tasting with $2 beers. Very unique combinations. The Sea salt and watermelon was awesome. The patio overlooking the vineyards was so very relaxing. They serve an amazing BBQ. I had to walk over and thank the chef. Our waitress was very sweet and friendly. It was so good that we are going back tomorrow!

My fiance and I happen to drive by this place and decided to stop in. We did a flight and everything we tried was so good. They had a lot of unique options (like a beer with grasshoppers in it). All the staff was super friendly and seemed to really know their beers too. Would definitely come back!

Loved the seasonal brew! Of course, it's a pumpkin inspired beer, but I'm a sucker for that fall selection. The outdoor seating area is just perfect on a warm day. You're overlooking what I think is their hops field (it might be grapes too... I saw a sign they were growing their own either now or soon!). There's also a small menu with a few artisanal style sandwiches. I tried the brat sandwich, which had the tastiest mustard on it! It's literally just the sandwich, so you might want to order a couple sides or snacks if you're hungry. I'm a sucker for great marketing and my favorite color red, so I appreciate their red logo and clean aesthetic as soon as you walk in the door. It looked like you could even get a tour of the brewery, which I love! I imagine this is a great spot for locals to hang out and I would love to come back when visiting NOTL.

Deep in the heart of wine country my husband and I are from Michigan. And currently Michigan is home to Beer City (Grand Rapids) as well as a slew of other great breweries in the Detroit area. So when Yelp pulled up this place we knew we had to stop by for a visit!! We were warmly greeted when we dropped in on a Sunday afternoon. They have a tasting room with counter service and some nice big comfortable booths. My husband tried a few varieties and found one he liked, the Pitchfork Porter. Although the inside had a great atmosphere and ping pong tables, and who doesn't love ping pong, we opted to sit outside because it was a beautiful day, and well, because BBQ. We snagged a couple seats at the bar and were waited on by the nicest waitress ever. She instantly made us feel like regulars. I told her I am not a beer enthusiast and she said they had a cider on tap and would bring me a sample. When she came back she also had brought me a sample of the peach hefeweizen and it was very refreshing. We ordered some food from Brush Fire BBQ and it was delicious (see my review). Whoever paired these two establishments together was genius! We lingered longer than we intended and had a great time here. What a great find!!

It's always nice to visit a brewery when I'm out of town! Especially when you see their beer at festivals, but never get to visit. We stopped in for a flight of samples and to check out the place. It's a giant barn; you really can't miss it. It's the perfect venue for a brewery; high celings and lots of room! You could choose 4 brews for your flight or just get a pint. It was cheap to sample too! So worth it! They had lots of cold beer for sale, swag and tours going on as well. We didn't take a tour, but stopped at the patio at the back for a pint. Great people and great beer!

Niagara Oast House Brewers is a refreshing change of pace for me after all these wineries sampling during my Day in NOTL. This place is just so cute!! Love everything ... even the cute and smiling girl that let me take all the photos I want and let me taste all the beers... $1 or $2 per sampling but it is free if you ended up buying. Of course I ended up buying! I started laughing when I saw the tag on my growler remaining me to enjoy my Bucolic Bastard within 5 days.... Me and my Yelp Friend finished that in 1 seating.......as a night cap... Can't wait to go back to Oast House Brewers to fill that up again with more beers! And hopefully Biere de Garde will not be sold out again!

Ordered the cider and the oaxacana street corn. Both were really good despite me being a super picky eater and a non-drinker. Managed to drink more than my usual one sip of alcohol when I ordered Oast's cider. If I actually liked alcohol, I'd probably finish the whole thing. Bae ordered multiple different beers which tells me they were delivering consistently good brews. He also ordered some bbq Sichuan chicken sandwich thing and shoved it down faster than a cat eating tuna. Overall: A++

My husband and I were so disappointed. We were celebrating our anniversary We wanted to get out of the craziness of the wineries and just wanted a beer and great bbq. We have been here before and had an amazing experience. This was not the case. We arrived at 11:45am. Their hours are wrong on Google and other search engines. They don't open at 11am, but 12. My husband and I went to Starbucks and came back. We were back and excited to get a table. I asked her for a menu and she said they only do takeout on the weekend. There is no food on the patio. I completely understand being safe and taking precautions, however you can be socially distanced and outside. All I wanted was a beer and bbq. Super disappointed.

Unique, delicious, friendly, passionate. NOTL is known for its wineries. but for the few daring entrepreneurs willing to take a chance on something different, in this case beer, it should pay off. lets face it - We all get wine'd out at some point. The highlight was the strawberry rhubarb ale. You heard me right - not a pie, but an ale. Its seasonal, its good, and its worth giving it a shot. all their beers are craft, all are worth tasting. But the SRA is worth taking home.

I stopped by here this past Saturday evening with my wife for some drinks. We had passed Oast House earlier in the day while visiting wineries and since my wife knows that I would rather have beer than wine, we made a note of it's location so that we could visit it later in the day. As we arrived at Oast House just before 5 PM my wife and I thought we could see a drunk person acting crazy through the window. Then we both realized that she was just playing ping pong although I never did see that area of the brewery. As a matter of a fact due to how crowded it was I only really saw the bar, a merchandising area and then a place where they were selling their growlers. It was really loud on the day that we were there to the point that two of the bartenders actually apologized for the noise. We knew that they couldn't control drunk people though and so had no problem with it. As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery I decided to go with a flight. Unlike most breweries there is no set flight and you can order as many or as little $2 tasters to make your own flight. Since I had already had some wine earlier in the day I decided to stick with 4 and chose the Bier de Mare (sour), Barn Raiser (Pale Ale) Farmer Tan IPA (English IPA) and finally the Local Hoption (American IPA.). I actually ended up enjoying all of the beers here which is unusual. The sour had a nice citrus and tartness while the Pale Ale was crisp with only some slight hops. Meanwhile the Farmer Tan IPA was the most surprising for me as it was called a classic IPA. Thinking like the American that I am I was expecting a New England style IPA and was pleasantly surprised by a full bodied beer where you could taste the hops but they didn't overwhelm. Last but not least was the local hoption which was the kick you in the teeth IPA which I always enjoy. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While it was a little crazy the day that we went there, the bartenders actions made it clear that wasn't the norm and I also enjoyed all of the beers that I sampled.

On Sunday Gord and I stopped in at Niagara Oast House Brewers for a tour. The building is about 100 years old and has had many uses over the years. Oast started about two years ago. Our guide was Oscar and he took good care of us. He was friendly and knowledgeable. Oscar explained what an oast house is (it's a building designed for drying hops as part of the brewing process). Then he took us in with the equipment and explained how everything worked. Gord tried the samples of their beer (I drove so he could enjoy them). His favourite was the saison. You can buy merchandise like glasses, teeshirts, hats, etc. Oscar took us upstairs to show us the event space they are renovating. Very nice! Looking out the window, you can see a vineyard. If you are in the area, you should stop in for a tour.

I'll give this place a 3 for the atmosphere, but that's about it. Granted the beer is good and it's probably pure since they make it, I think at $10 a pint for ANY of their beers is overpriced. They only serve ales and sours. Dinner for 4 at $115, for a self-serve, they don't come to the table to serve you, with the pulled pot getting cold after 5 minutes, not worth almost $30 a pop including tax and tips. You're seating on camping benches outside on the grass which ads to the atmosphere. I don't know. It seems overpriced and no value, as if they're a higher-end restaurant, when they're not. If they lowered their prices a bit, they'd be packed nonstop.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon-- beers were fantastic; however, service was less than desirable. Our server seemed rather disconnected and forgetful. Our Mac & cheese took 47 minutes...Yes, 47 minutes to arrive, which our sever blamed on a computer error, when we could clearly hear her telling the kitchen she forgot to place the order.

I love this place especially in the summer where you can sit on the patio. Barn raiser beer has been one of my favorites since they opened. They have a variety of many in house brewed beer. I encourage you to try them that are all tasty. The appetizers are delicious a definite must try. My favorite were the shishito peppers

We visited the first day after Phase 1 of the lockdown. We sat up on the top patio which was gorgeous overlooking the vineyards. The tequila lime gose was very refreshing! We really enjoyed that beer. Would definitely recommend visiting Oast and of course trying their tequila lime gose beer! So good!

An awesome brewery with great beers and a cool outdoor patio. We stayed inside since it was so hot out and enjoyed playing some ping pong with our beers. I love IPA's and really liked their watering hole IPA. The space was very cool and it was great to change it up since we had visited so many wineries on our trip. They had a lot of beers to choose from and tastings were $2 each. I would definitely check it out if you are a beer lover and want to take a break from drinking wine!

I visited the Oast house as part of brewery/distillery tour. I've never had any of their product before but was very pleasantly surprised by all the product. This is all solid craft beer and there is something for every beer snob. The whiskey Porter was my personal favorite but unfortunately only available at the brewery. I'll have to enjoy their other beers at home... I highly recommend.

Great food and great beer, what's not to love?? Came here with my girlfriend and sat out on the back patio. What a great view as it backs up on a vineyard. They also have a patio up top that looked really nice but was full. The brewery itself is built out of an old barn that looks really cool. We each had a pint for $17, I had the Toasted Walnut Bourbon Porter and she had the Cherry Sour. Both beers were, the Porter especially was really smooth and flavourful. We had heard a lot about the food at this place and their use of a brushwood smoker to cook their briskets so we had to try that. I was hoping to have the Brisket sandwich but they had sold out so I had to compromise with the brisket itself and a side of braised beans. I won't lie it was a little disappointing that they were sold out of the sandwich by 2pm on a Saturday but it says something about how popular it is, and the patio was full the whole time we were there, we even had to wait 15 minutes to get a spot. We also split the Sichuan pickerel sandwich. The food lived up to the hype and everything was amazing, the brisket was almost hard to eat as it was falling apart the whole time. In summary, I would suggest to anyone to try this place out and definitely try the food.

The beer was exceptional, but the thing that stood out the most were the employees. Every person we talked to, from bartenders to the chef, were passionate about what they were doing. Our chef spoke to us about the techniques used to make the duck foie gras and our bartenders spoke to us about their continuing education in brewing. It was obvious from the getgo that they loved what they were doing and every ounce of that passion could be tangibly tasted and experienced: I've found my new favorite brewery.

I love this place. More and more I find myself going almost weekly. Either for a pint and to fill my growler or just to have dinner and have a few pints. Sometimes it gets quite busy in there and getting a table to sit and eat at is sometimes difficult. Also I do wish they had chicken wings all the time to snack on.

I will never be a "beer is my first option" girl, but I appreciate a place that offers variety and does something they love and feel strongly about. For Oast it's Belgian style recipes. I like their styling and branding - always a big deal for me. The staff was super chill, and when I went yesterday we were the only ones there. They spent time explaining and giving us many, many samples haha. I've been a few times over the years, and when I'm in the area I'd keep going back to see what new things they are up to. They had a sour stout that was different from anything I've tasted before!!

Oast doesn't disappoint - first time here was 4 years ago, and we love coming back for a quick tasting room Sample! Loved the Strawberry Rhubarb Beer.

This was my absolute favorite place in niagara on the lake. We rented bikes at leisure zoom and rode straight up the road to it. The staff was awesome and it's one of the few great places to get some decent beer. We went to the patio in the back and ordered a peach hefeweizen. It was one of the best beers I tried in the area. We also ordered the curry wurst, raw oysters with mignonette, and fried oysters. They were better than the $300 dinner I had at backhouse. I loved the small menu and the vibe of the brewery. If you're coming to niagara in the lake, you NEED to come here and sit in the back yard patio area to try their beer and fresh food.

Friendly service and good beer (and we played some ping pong after we drank our samplings!). Kind of bummed that they sometimes only have beer in a giant growler you have to drink within 5 days - it'd be nice if everything came in bottles, but c'est la vie! Interesting flavours and a fun stop.
