Walkerville Brewery

Firstly, I LOVE the inside of this place. It’s very well set up– it reminds me of Atwater but actually painted and with more effort put in. :p
Anyway, the beer was just OK. But, the service was great.

Didn’t book ahead to get a pint at the bar. Didn’t matter that we came over from Detroit, we were told to turn back into the rain and go elsewhere. Excellent, no it really. I was better off staying home and going to Atwater in the Park.

Love this place’s industrial vibe. Awesome craft taste at a great price. My favourites are the Loophole and Honest Lager. No food as it is a tap room but neat to stop in for a drink.

Great place to try some craft beers. Try the honest lager and the milk stout.

(This review is for the taproom only, not the tour.) We came on a whim and sampled a flight of beer. They had five beers on tap, of which you could pick four to sample. All four were good, my favorite being the milk stout.

Cool place! So this is a brewery which has a small bar and seating area for you to try out some beers. The prices and selections are great.
There was 5 different selections when I went and I got a sort of tasting plate when I went. It was four 5oz glasses with a different beer in each that only cost $ 7.50, which I think is a good price to try out a few beers. Usually that type of thing. Is at least $ 10 at most other places.
You can by cases and stubbys and what not also. Our bartender was very friendly and took the time to explain to us how it all worked.
I think the only reason I give it 4 stars is because there are some brewers in Windsor that I feel have better beer, but I guess that is all subjective depending on a person’s taste. The beer was still pretty great here, I just found some of the texture a little strange with some of them.
Great place!

The milk stout is delicious.
$ 5 glass souvenirs.
Tours are on Saturdays only.
They start serving beer flights next week (today is 6÷8÷15).
And the play awesome 90’s rock.
Oh and the bartender was very friendly.
Peep the photo for the menu.

A must visit for anyone in the area. The beer doesn’t get any fresher. They’re hours aren’t the greatest but whenever someone from out of town comes to visit we always take class at Moksha Hot Yoga Windsor then go for a beer at Walkerville Brewery, my favourite combination of activities in Windsor.

I took the tour with my wife. I like beer, she doesn’t. She is into wines and ciders. You receive 4 samples before the tour to give you a taste of their product on tap. Then for the tour you receive a glass of beer for the tour. The tour itself lasted for 45minutes and included some history of Walkerville, Hiram Walker, and the surrounding community. I thought it was very interesting and informative. Wife was bored spitless. But she had her camera so she was able to take pictures. All in all I thought it was worth it.

Nice place made a trip there back in 2013. Hit this place before I started really doing the brewery rounds. Beer is good. Wanting to head back so I can enjoy more of the beer they have to offer.

Walkerville has become much better since their launch.
Of the 4 beers I tasted, all met my expectations.
They seem to be still in the learning phase. So there isn’t any experimental brews that you would normally see at craft breweries.
They sell growlers for take out. No bottles or cans.

The IPA is the best I’ve had in quite a while, and if you know me then you know that’s a big complement. This brewery is absolutely essential to the growing local craft scene, and I look forward to more great things. The beer can be found in many local bars and restaurants, although no bottles yet.

If you eat or drink anywhere in the Windsor region, odds are that you’ve come across Walkerville Brewing Company. Their large, airy headquarters are just off the mains trip from Walkerville and close to the river.
When it came down to the beer, I was particularly impressed by the Indie Pale Ale. It was a really hoppy, meaty pale ale that compared to some of the craft brews I’m fond of back home in Toronto. I wish I’d tried the Kolsh Style ale (Session 1) because it sounded like the perfectly balanced summer beer for a long August weekend, but I could only carry so much!
Like all other places that offer growlers to go, you can get a rebate when you return the bottle, or a discount by «refilling» the jug itself. (AKA, grabbing another from the cooler.) They take cash, debit or credit so you’re covered there.
The brewery offers tours (which I unfortunately didn’t have the time to do), hosts events, serves beer and sells it. It’s a nice, sleek facility that also hosts events, I bet it’s quite popular with the wedding circuit (or it damn well should be.)
