Best Breweries in Winnipeg

A brewski, perhaps? You’re in luck because today’s discussion will dive right into Winnipeg’s brewery scene.

If you’re tired of the typical commercial beers, I suggest selecting something local and flavorful. It goes without saying that you’ll need to know where to begin looking, so let’s do that.

The top five breweries in Winnipeg, as rated by customers, are listed below. We’ll also take a closer look at what they have to offer beer drinkers, along with their benefits, drawbacks, and reviews.

How Much Do Winnipeg Breweries Charge?

To estimate the cost of a visit to a craft brewery in Winnipeg, you must first be familiar with its unique culture and drinking traditions. When I say that the two are connected, I’m not joking.

Because Winnipeg is a truly multicultural city, locals and visitors can indulge in a wide range of international cuisine. And what better libation to pair with mouthwatering cuisine from China, the Middle East, Latin America, India, and other countries?

An average Canadian drinks 80 liters of beer each year. More than 80% of that beer comes from Canadian craft breweries, which translates to nearly 1,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of beer.

Therefore, it is a given that Winnipeggers enjoy their beer. The Winnipeg Beer Fest provides additional proof, which has been held each year for almost ten years.

Over 40 Canadian craft breweries are featured at the festival in addition to the 5K Craft Beer Fun Run/Walk and beer pong. In addition to domestic and local craft beers, attendees can also choose from imported beers from Europe, wine, ciders, and specialty brewskis.

Winnipeg has become known as a top beer destination thanks to this annual event. It has also been successful in highlighting local craft breweries and the best cuisine from around the world to pair with them.

A sheet of 20 sample tickets for food and drink costs $20 at the Winnipeg Beer Fest. Naturally, the vendor decides how much to charge for their samples, which are typically offered in 12-, 8-, or 4-ounce cups.

But how much will a beer make nearby cost you? Let’s examine what the most well-known breweries in Winnipeg have to offer.

BREWERY	PRODUCT PRICE
Beyond the Pale	Pale Ale Project $3.10 (473 ml./4.9%) The Darkness $3.10 (473 ml./5.6%)
Tooth and Nail Brewing Company	Tenacity Pale Ale $3.00 (355 ml./5.5%) Fortitude Stout $3.00 (355 ml./5.4%)
Stray Dog Brewing Company	Shaggin’ Wagon $3.98 (473 ml./6.4%) One Hop Wonder: Eclipse $4.56 (473 ml./6.4%)
Waller St. Brewing	Tiger Milk (White Stout) $6.50 (500 ml./4.5%) Black DIPA $8.00 (500 ml./8.5%)

Pay attention to the fact that prices frequently include both the volume of beer and alcohol in each container. The final price, however, may also depend on other factors like packaging, ingredients, branding, advertising, and brewery practices.

Let’s take a look at what their clients have to say:

“I first visited this local brewery last July 2 and I went back 3 times after that. Aside from their Juicii and Radlers, what I like about the place is spacious, I don’t feel like being confined in a very small place. This place can definitely hold a big group of friends with those long tables. Actually, they told me, they can hold events too. They also have a patio, and card and board games. On one visit, I scanned their “Believe it or Not” book. I like the location too, it’s quiet and has no heavy vehicle traffic. I found my fave spot. ” – Jay Cee

“I’m a big fan of everything going on here. really great vibes. It’s got a ton of character. That ’60s kind of Palm Springs hotel feel. We went on a hot Friday in the summer. It was absolutely hopping. Unfortunately, they ran out of tacos around 6:30 pm, so we ordered hot dogs, which were delicious. The staff were all quite friendly, though it did seem like they could’ve benefited from a few more people working, especially for prepping the food; there was a solid delay in food coming out to tables. There is a lot of seating on the patio. Even with it, this must be one of the larger breweries in Winnipeg in terms of capacity. ” – Tim Cruickshank

“Really epic brewery adventure! “A must afternoon to be a tourist in your own town experience!!” Very knowledgeable Brian gave us the best tour ever! Samples were wonderful. Hope that the Pineapple Coconut, my fav will be available to order downstairs soon! Great food court for munchies and free 2 hour parking downtown on Saturday made for a special occasion day! Will be back soon for the ambiance. Would give it six stars if I could. Great personable staff. Pleasure to have met everyone.” – Iryna Wilson

“Favorite place to go grab lunch and have a beer, as well as get my growlers filled. As far as I know, they are the only one in the city right now that will actually fill your growler – any growler, regardless of origin – without some sort of weird exchange program like some other breweries I know of. Some of the recent seasonal on-tap selections have been pretty interesting and you can get a taster for any of them if you’re feeling keen on it.”

Let’s take a look at what their clients have to say:

“WOW! I’m lucky enough to have tried a few of their amazing beers with some friends from Winnipeg previously, but getting it fresh from the source (in larger glasses!) and pairing it with the incredible pizza is an out of this world experience! Our group sampled the panne fritto, the BBQ chicken pizza, Manitoba meat lovers pizza, apple Gouda pizza, and the pierogi pizza. The BBQ chicken pizza is in the top three, best pizzas I’ve ever had in my life. If I were choosing my last meal I think I’d go with the BBQ chicken pizza, washed down by the Bluebeary Ale. I need a job, or a second home in Winnipeg so I can enjoy this establishment more often!” – Levi Jerome

“Third or so time here, great selection of beer, pizza, and other appetizers. For the pizza I recommend thin crust! Staff were friendly and polite, but don’t wait to be served, all menu items are ordered at the bar towards the back of the room.” – Nathan Simon
