What beer do you serve?
We serve our own small-batch beers from The Brook Brew Co., part of the Westbrook Group of Companies.
Our beers are brewed by our head brewer right here in Beamsville, beside the greenhouses where the Westbrook story began in 1959.
Each batch is brewed in limited quantities and available while it lasts.
Do you serve beer from other breweries?
Not at this time. Our Beer Garden is dedicated to our own small-batch beers from The Brook Brew Co.
What’s on tap?
We have 8 of our small-batch beers on draft, available by the pint, half pint or flight, plus 2 malt seltzers.
Our lineup rotates, so there’s always something new to discover.
Where can I see the current tap list?
You can find our current tap list on our Beer Garden Drink Menu.
You can also scan the QR code at the SeaCan Bar Service window.
Do you offer anything besides beer?
Yes. Alongside our small-batch beers, we currently offer two malt seltzers, plus non-alcoholic options including pop and iced tea.
We’re keeping the beverage program intentionally focused on a small, thoughtful selection for now.
Can I buy beer to take home?
Absolutely. Cans are available from our SeaCan Bar Service & Bottle Shop during Beer Garden hours.
Do you take reservations?
Not at the moment. We welcome guests on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is there table service?
We offer SeaCan bar service. Simply order at the bar, then bring your drinks back to your table or favourite spot.
What if there are no tables available?
We have plenty of open-air space to enjoy. Take a spot at a table, enjoy your beer standing or settle onto one of the armour stones by the water while you wait for a seat to open.
Is the Beer Garden dog friendly?
Absolutely. Dogs are welcome. We simply ask that they remain leashed.
Water bowls are available, and our staff are always happy to say hello.
Is the Beer Garden family friendly?
Yes. Families are welcome to enjoy the garden together.
Do you serve food?
Yes. Bánh Theory is our resident food partner for the season.
Niagara’s first Vietnamese mobile eatery serves crave-worthy Vietnamese street food including bánh mì, rice bowls, crispy spring rolls, vegan and gluten-free options.
Their menu changes weekly, with specials ranging from fish & chips and curly fries to apple pie samosas and more.
There’s always something new to discover and a bit of something for everyone.
- Every Wednesday: Bánh Theory now offers Mother of Pearl oysters exclusively at the Beer Garden.
Do you offer gluten-free beer or cider?
Not currently, but we’re exploring options for the future.
What does “open until late” mean?
We like to give the evening a little flexibility.
Friday and Saturday last call is typically around 9:45pm, with closing around 10pm. If the garden is lively, we may stay open a little later.
We’ll always be fully closed by 11pm due to noise restrictions.
Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday typically wind down around 9pm.
Do you serve wine?
It’s something we’re considering. For now, we’re keeping the offering focused on our own beer, with a small selection of additional beverages.
Can I bring a camp chair?
For now, we’re keeping seating managed by our team rather than allowing outside chairs.
There’s plenty of open-air space to enjoy while you wait for a table.
Do you have EV chargers?
Not currently, although it’s something we may explore as the property evolves.
If you are coming from out of town, the closest EV charging stations are just off the QEW, and only a 3-minute drive down the road from the Beer Garden.
Do you sell gift cards?
Not at this time. We’re looking into it and hope to offer them in the future.
Do you have parking?
Yes, parking is available on-site. It can fill quickly during busy periods, so arriving early is always a good idea.
Can I host a private event?
We’re building slowly and intentionally and are exploring opportunities for private events and group experiences as the property evolves.
Can I visit the brewery?
The brewery is not currently open to the public.
We’re building thoughtfully behind the scenes and exploring more ways to share the brewery experience in the future.
For now, we’re excited to welcome you to the Beer Garden.
What makes The Brook Brew Co. beer different?
We started with the beer.
Our small-batch beers are brewed by our head brewer right here in Beamsville, beside the greenhouses where the Westbrook story began in 1959—just steps from our lakeside beer garden.
We brew in limited quantities, with a focus on quality, freshness and character.
Greenhouse brews. Lakeside views.
Do I have to be a beer drinker to enjoy the Beer Garden?
Not at all.
Come for the food, the setting, the company or simply to spend some time by the lake.
