Test Batches Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Midland ON)

Test Batches Brewery sits in Midland, Ontario, and runs like a well‑kept secret among the locals. This family‑driven microbrewery is the brain‑child of Jamie and Lesley Tripp, who have turned a repurposed dealership into a laboratory of flavour, churning out dark ales, hop‑forward IPAs and occasional oddities that keep regulars guessing. Their ethos is simple: experiment relentlessly, serve solid beer, and treat the neighbourhood like an extended kitchen table.

The taproom is more than a place to drink; it’s a cosy gathering spot with a menu that balances hearty bites and wholesome, homemade treats (the sticky‑sweet confections are practically a rite of passage). The walls are peppered with tiny stickers – a playful Easter egg for the curious – while the ever‑changing roster of brews guarantees that no two visits feel the same. Whether you’re after a richly bitter stout or a surprisingly bright saison, the Tripp duo delivers with the kind of craftsmanship that makes you wonder why other breweries bother with shortcuts. In short, Test Batches is a testament to what happens when family passion, community spirit, and a love of good beer collide.
