Ashton Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Ashton ON)

Ashton Brewing Company has been turning the Ottawa Valley into a laboratory of liquid joy since 1975. This family‑run artisan operation sticks to an open‑fermentation method that’s almost extinct in North America, letting the yeast breathe freely (the result is a pint that feels as smug as a cat in a sunbeam). Their flagship Amber Ale is as dependable as a good pair of boots, while the ever‑changing seasonal line‑up—think Black Cherry Lemonade Radler—shows they’re not afraid to fling a little fruit into the mix and watch it explode with flavor.

A walk off Highway 7 drops you into a Bavarian‑style hall that looks more like a festive barn than a sterile lab, complete with an on‑site brewery, solid food, and a view that makes you forget you ever cared about the traffic jam you just escaped. With more than twenty brands on tap, they weave classic recipes into modern twists, delivering everything from silky cream ale to robust amber brews. The service is prompt, the food is hearty, and the atmosphere feels like a well‑kept secret that finally decided to share the wealth.
