Split Rail Brewing Co.

Handcrafted on Manitoulin, Rooted in Community

31 Water St, Gore Bay, ON P0P 1H0, Canada

Split Rail Brewing Co. sits on the rim of Manitoulin’s lake, a place where the water reflects the ambition of a garage‑born operation (the founders, who met over a shared love of hawberries, decided to keep things simple) turned community‑backed craft haven. The brewers swear by local hand‑picked hawberries—tart, daring, and often starring in a sour ale that could make a grown man weep with delight. Their taproom opens onto an expansive patio, the sort of setting where you can actually see the water while your pint cools, a luxury in a world of windowless beer temples.

Beyond the drinks, the place offers non‑alcoholic sour sodas that taste like rebellion in a glass, and pretzels baked on‑site that are crisp enough to rival any bakery’s best. The merch rack is a treasure trove for anyone who thinks a T‑shirt should smell faintly of hops. Among the lineup, the amber ale and the pilsner shine brightest, each a masterclass in balance and flavor. In short, Split Rail is a celebration of craft, community, and the occasional burst of island sunshine.
