Niagara Falls: Brewery and Distillery Small-Group Tasting Tour

Whisky, Wine and Beer production may be a world away from the hockey rink, but there are some surprising similarities between the way Wayne Gretzky played and coached the game and Niagara’s only destination winery and distillery and craft brewery. There is the same commitment to greatness. The understanding that it takes a team of truly passionate players to create world-class results. And the belief that a loonie buried in the ice can always bring a little extra luck.

Our Barn, originally raised in the late 1800s…

Has surely seen a thing or two over the years. Today, as home to the Niagara Oast House Brewers, it serves not only as a facility to brew great beer, but also houses a number of spaces each with their own unique feel. These include our tasting room (aka. The Beer Shed), events space (aka. The Hayloft) and Niagara’s coolest outdoor Patio.

We built Limited Distilling as a place for us to explore, create and experiment with our recipe ideas and curiosities. We have furnished our distillery with a variety of equipment that will allow us to run it as a full on 'spirit' laboratory. Many spirit companies focus on producing a few or even a single type of alcohol that is often ‘neutral’ tasting. Limited Distilling will place emphasis on exploring a variety of products while embracing the uniqueness and characteristics of each batch. Our spirit runs will often be small allowing us to explore the use of different ingredients, both local and from around the world. We look forward to sharing with you our exciting variety of spirit creations.

The Exchange is a new premium brewery and tasting room located in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Old Town heritage district. Although the town is known as the heart of Ontario’s wine country, it is also the scene of a burgeoning craft-brewing industry. With brewing and agricultural roots that stretch back to the late 1700s, Niagara-on-the-Lake is the perfect home for The Exchange’s approach to brewing, which blends traditional and modern techniques and equipment.

We focus on making exceptional craft beers using only the highest quality ingredients, including local Niagara fruits. Our selection includes a range of American styles along with sour and funky Belgian-style beers and ales.
