KW Craft Beer Bars - Part 2

KW Craft Beer Bars - Part 2

Following on from Part 1,  we will be taking a look at the best places to grab a Craft Beer in the Kitchener Waterloo area. 

The Lancaster Smokehouse

More of a Restaurant than a Bar however the selection of craft beer can't be ignored as it's pretty impressive, in their own words:

 "The Lancaster smokehouse proudly supports The award winning beers produced by ontario’s craft brewers. we only serve OCB products on Tap because we think it makes for better tasting beer. our selection is based on beers that compliment our food and allows for seasonal changes and special brews. ask your server for more details and about our seasonal selection!"

The only downside to this BBQ joint located on Lancaster Street West is that the food portions are so big you might not have room to try all the craft beers on tap. I picked up a Steam Whistle Oktoberfest Stein on the last occasion I went. Great food and beer. 

The Boathouse

Wonderfully located in the centre of Victoria Park The Boathouse is the best place to go to catch some live Music in Kitchener Waterloo. The whole bar has a very Bohemian feel to it with 3 or 4 different craft beers on tap at any time. The food is surprisingly good with the Nacho's being a personal favourite of mine. I also believe the The Boathouse to have the best Patio in the whole of KW, as you can see in the photo above, it looks out onto the water which is a refreshing change to the usual view of a parking lot. 

Huether Hotel

In fact not a Hotel at all the Heuther is the only place in Kitchener Waterloo to brew all it's beers on the premises. It comprises of a number of Bars  & Restaurants on different floors all selling their Lion Brewery beers. Located on the busy King Street North in Waterloo and the historic building stands out among newer establishments. If you find yourself in there I urge you to try their Black & Tan, which is a mix of their Lager and Ale, for something different. 

Hopefully with the rise of Craft Beer there will be more locations to add to the list soon.

PROST!
