Spark Beer & Pizza (Craft Beer & Brewery in Ottawa ON)

Spark Beer & Pizza in Ottawa’s Chinatown is the sort of place that makes you wonder why anyone would bother with ordinary lagers. Since 2020 they have been tossing hoppy, sour and seasonally‑inventive brews at a pace that would shame most home‑brew hobbyists. Their award‑winning lineup (which snagged Best in Show at the Ontario Brewing Awards 2024) is a parade of bold flavors, from citrus‑sharp IPAs to tart, fruit‑kissed sours that could make a poet weep.

Beyond the glass, the kitchen serves up pizza that actually respects the beer beside it – the spinach Benedict slice is a revelation, while the garlic‑cheese fingers are so good they could convince a vegan to reconsider. The patio is spotless, a rare oasis for anyone who enjoys a cold one without dodging dust. Friendly staff curate pairings with the precision of a master sommelier, and the calendar is packed with anniversary blow‑outs and new‑beer launches that feel more like celebrations than marketing stunts.
