The Brewery Exchange Reviews

Walk up for social distancing! The staff member was also very knowledgeable

Delicious and wide variety of beers. Laid back, modern atmosphere. Good value. Good service.

First visit, very impressed. Great location, nice 2nd level patio. Beer list was diverse and great quality. I thought, considering this was Niagara on the Lake, the beer was very reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again.

We've been here several times before, the beer isn't the best for us but the change is always nice. This time we were met downstairs by someone taking our contact information as well as our temperature which we thought was good protocol. We asked if we could sit upstairs so we made our way up the stairs and chose a table ourselves as no one followed us up to seat us. We sat for about 15 minutes and not 1 person came to greet us or take our order or anything, so we got up and left. The girl downstairs said bye to us on our way out but I'm certain no one else even knew we existed. Terrible service!

Really cool little bar but sadly I wasn't a fan of their beers.

Great beers! Service was slow but we arrived at the busiest time of the day. Servers very polite.

Very cool little spot on the main Street in town. Enjoyed a great NE style IPA. Had a pop up sushi spot on Sunday. Rolling fresh sushi right inside the main entrance.

Great spot, very friendly staff. Interesting selection of beers.

The craft beer is very good. The looks of the bottles are cool looking as well. Will be coming back to get more. If you like craft beer this is the stop for you.

Great place. Definately not your typical craft brewery. Refined. What you would expect in Niagara-on-the-lake.

We love taking a trip to Niagara on the Lake to this Brewery. Especially if you love sour beers, you'll find engaged employees who can tell you a lot about beers, flavours and pairing and some incredible beers - try the Flanders Red and the Spontaneous!

We managed to score a BEAUTIFUL table on their upstairs patio. After ordering a 8-beer flight, I found two or three craft beers that I really enjoyed. A few of them were quite run-of-the-mill, but it was a wonderful experience nonetheless.
Safety measures were in place! I wish there was more sanitizer around, but overall, impressive!
There's a gluten-free option as well, it's a saison. Since I'm not gluten-intolerant or celiac myself, I tried it in the flight just to see what it had to offer. I wouldn't have been able to pick it out as a clear "gluten-free" tasting option without knowing prior. I wasn't wowed by the actual taste of the gluten-free beer, but it'd be a great option for those that are intolerant to gluten who'd like to try something a little different. It's quite...sweet?

We stopped into this lovely brewery over the long weekend as we were recommened to visit by friends. I am so happy that we did. They have a lovely selection of sour beers and gluten free beer too! I would highly recommend. Our server Brad took time to walk us through our flights and was very friendly. Worth a visit when you are in Niagara.

Great selection of beer, flights highly recommended. Excellent service

Great place, been here twice : wintertime and today (21st of Aug). First of all they implemented very safe Covid regulations which is very important to feel safe. They have quite the selection of good beers, other drinks and they have upgraded their menu (since the winter) with many food options, ranging from snacks, shareables to pub grub. Very nice and attentive service and fair prices. Would definitely recommend (especially the upper deck).

Good place for beers and food. Their Ruben sandwich is fantastic! Flights are also great. Their breakfast stout is amazing.

Very friendly enviroment!
And the beers are so delicious!
Great place!
I suggest the table beer!

Great little brewery with some fantastic beers! The interior is really welcoming and there is tons of different souvenir merchandise available with the brewery's logo on it.

Favourite brewery! Excellent selection. Very committed to offering excellent quality and tasting beer. Go for Sushi on Sundays!

Terrible beer. I m not sure what is with all the positive reviews here. We ordered 3 beers. They were all sour and bitter, to the point we thought they were off. I like beer and am very used to a range of beer styles, but their belgian beer style would be an insult to Belgians. Let s not mention the extortionate price....
The server blamed us for not liking the beer. The result? We left with leaving with most of the beer undrunk and wishing we had walked straight past this place. I suggest you walk on by.

I don t understand the 5 star reviews. Nice atmosphere and bar but come on , the beers aren t fantastic and generally end with a poor and unpleasant biter after taste.

Amazing brewery. Good variety. Friendly and fast staff. You can buy bottles or get small growler for under $20C.

Cool history, cold beers, attentive staff. Compared to some other local breweries, our favorite local beer.

8 beers on the menu. Terrace on the ground or above. More than pleasant service despite phase 3 of COVID-19

Great beer downtown. Trivia on Wednesdays. Pizza and sushi brought in Wednesday and Sunday respectively. Nice upstairs patio. A great stop if you are in down town Niagara on the lake.

Very good place. Good variety of beers. Modern looking. Right on the strip of shops so it is a good place to stop at to take a rest and refresh.

We had an amazing time tasting beers with Mike. He was so knowledgable and friendly and he gave us all an incredible experience! We thoroughly enjoyed the staff, atmosphere and of course, the beer! (the amber ale is highly recommended!).

Great place to try some well-made beers in Niagara-on-the Lake. Very knowledgeable staff with a fantastic product. Bottles and growers available as well as flights and full glasses. 8 beers on tap at time of visit.

Great micro brewery; very tasty.
Excellent cheese pairing.

The beer was delicious, I had a porter and it was great. There isn't much in terms of food choices but I wasn't there for the food!

Good beer, bit pretentious but it is Niagara on Lake after all.

I like artisan beer. I went to Silversmith last night and loved it. Came to exchange due to higher google reviews and am totally confused as to why they have a better review. The beer is awful. Very tart. It s like doing a shot of sewer water. No, I m not being dramatic. I ve never had a flight of 8 beers where I couldn t finish one without cringing. Go to silversmith.

I recently went here and sampled a few of their beers. The beer was fantastic and the gentleman who waited on us clearly loved his job! This was a great experience and I would highly suggest going here while in Niagara.

Great ambiance, helpful & knowledgable staff and a kaleidoscope of fabulous beers to choose from. What's not to like?

Great selection of beer. Great service. Fantastic and clean atmosphere

Love this place. Informative and friendly bartender. Love the breakfast stout! Really all the beers were good. Really neat upstairs, the whole back wall opens up to the outside.

Good brews and fun service. You should give it a try if you like craft beers.

Went to a festival last summer in ON and the beer choices were awful, so someone directed us to exchange. What a gem! Such an awesome thing to use local wine barrels to age the beer and gives the sours a unique, slightly more mellow profile that even my boyfriend who hates sours enjoyed many of them. We got a chance to do the tour and were treated to exclusive casks and bottles. Wonderfully friendly staff, cool place, good beer. Give sours a try, you might like some

Great indoor seating with attention to social distancing. I understand using paper boxes and plates for food/cheese plates which is a smart idea. Beer variety were great and unique and good space for small or large groups.

Fantastic beer (the Plum Berliner Weisse was awesome) and the barman prepared for the beer world !!! To go if you are in the area !!!

Very strongly recommend. You will find an incredible selection of house brewed beer, like peppercorn, rye and grapefruit rind. That we watched our sashimi being made, as an unexpected menu treat, was pure cherry on the cake.

Love the decor and the ever expanding beer list. This brewery is not afraid to try new recipes. Can buy bottled or growlers. And in a great location!

Wow, I was expecting the worst before I drank my first sip of the sour beers. More to the tune of beer that suffered an infection during the brew process. But I was thoroughly blown away and very wrong. The sour beers were excellent, and my favourite out of the flight. Already planning another trip so that I can have some more of that deliciousness!

The selection of on site brewed beer is varied and unique. I enjoyed the Belgium Stout and Spontaneous Ale. Crystal was knew the beers inside out and was very helpful.

Delicious beers at NOTL location. The sours and stouts are great...Only criticism is they picked their worst beers to sell at grocery stores and lcbo....I almost didnt stop in bc of the ones they sell at grocery stores (IPA'S)...we would have missed out on some great beers (peach sour, cerise, breakfast and belgian stout)

Such a cute brewery, great decor and friendly staff. For someone who isn t much of a beer drinker I actually really enjoyed tasting these beers with my partner and found a few different beers could be quite enjoyed by a wine drinker as some had similar flavour profiles. The grilled cheese sandwich was also delicious!

Great beer! Staff is friendly and very knowledgable.

Great experience! Staff was phenomenal, gorgeous scenery and top quality beers! Special mentions to Catherine and Tyler for ensuring that both our safety and service was top-notch!!!

We were walking around niagara on the lakes, and we found this creat spot. First, the place is very well designed. The beer were amazing, i am not a beer guy, but after today I changed my mind. I won t have a beer every day, but i will consider to include on my options to buy this brand. The service was excellent!!! Impossible better to start our biking tour on niagara region!

Great beer and cheese pairings. Staff was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable.

New, modern building. They've only been open since Jan 2016. I'm not writing them off yet, but after coming from Oast, their beers were disappointing

really enjoyed the selection of beers here. Only wish I could have spent more time here.

I was optimistic about this brewery given the decor and ambiance. That is until I was chastised by a server named Andrew for grabbing a piece of popcorn out of a bowl sitting on the bar. His condescending tone, and what he said lead me to believe I was an idiot. Stay away unless you are well versed in popcorn ettiqueet.

Sushi Sunday is a great idea, amazing beer and fantastic food!
