The Kingston Brewing Company

Ontario's Oldest Brewpub with Historic Charm and Craft Expertise

34 Clarence St, Kingston, ON K7L 1W9, Canada
kingstonbrewing.ca

Kingston Brewing Company rolls out of a genuine 19th‑century vault in Kingston, Ontario, proudly wearing the badge of the province’s oldest brewpub since 1986. The place oozes historic charm without trying to sound like a museum – original brickwork, vaulted ceilings, and a wall of beer memorabilia that would make any collector grin (and the vaults still echo with the clink of glass).

Behind the bar sit 28 taps, each delivering fresh Ontario craft at the push of a lever. Seasonal brews rotate like a well‑kept secret, and the flagship raspberry wheat ale and orange‑cream Sickle prove the brewery can be both adventurous and deliciously approachable.

The kitchen respects the same ethos, serving dishes built on locally sourced produce – think cod cakes that actually taste like cod, and a mushroom flatbread that could convert a skeptic. A lively buzz fills the compact bar, while the courtyard and street‑front patio provide open‑air spots for sipping under the sky.

All in all, Kingston Brewing Company is a masterclass in marrying heritage with modern craft, proving that age is an asset, not a handicap.
