Wishbone Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Waterford ON)

Wishbone Brewing Company sits in a former Dominion Telephone Company building on the Waterford Heritage Trail, gazing out over the glassy expanse of Shadow Lake. The old tele‑exchange has been transformed into a bustling brewpub where the past and present shake hands over a pint, and the patio offers a view that could calm even the most nervous first‑timer.

The brewery’s rotating roster is the real star. Bright, citrus‑kissed pale ales sit comfortably beside coffee‑forward stouts crafted in partnership with Seventh Coffee Company, proving that “innovation” can be as simple as a well‑timed espresso shot in a barley mash. The staff are as knowledgeable as they are cheerful, always ready to explain the hop profile or suggest a perfect food match. In this small‑town street setting, the atmosphere is relaxed, the community spirit palpable, and the range of flavors wide enough to satisfy every palate without pretension.

Cheers to a place where heritage meets craft, and the only thing more refreshing than the lake view is the beer itself.
