Slake Brewing – Tasty
Has a bubblegum, white wine, and candy smell. Low bitterness and dry.

This is a Czech Pilsner It has a light straw and bready flavor with a hint of sweetness that finishes.

If you like a Pale Ale then you may like this one. It has lots of hop flavor and aroma.
I like lagers and some of these beers were too hoppy for me but my brother-in-law loved it.
Slake Brewing – Beauty
This is a barrel aged beer, that has been refermented in Slake’s barrels with Slake’s house mixed culture for over a year.
The result is a beer that is tart, funky, and complex, with a beautiful amber color. Slake Brewing Beauty was Slake’s very first daughter-recommended beer, and it remains one of their most popular beers to this day.

I have to say that all our beer was ice cold, tasty, and proudly brewed with 100 Ontario malt.
We didn’t eat but they said they have snacks for sale. They also offer some nonalcoholic beverages (seltzer and soda) if you’re the DD.
When we have visitors to the county, this place is my go-to spot for fewer crowds, delicious beer, and amazing views.
