8 Breweries in Winnipeg That You Shouldn't Miss
Any city that can be the butt of a Simpson's joke ("That's it! We're all going back to Winnipeg!") and simultaneously one of the most vibrant cultural centers in Canada is tops in our book. The city's history of isolation and self-sufficiency means that Winnipeggers are unpretentious and sincere (and fun-loving enough to name Homer an honorary citizen). Though the winters are long and cold, there are plenty of indoor activities to both keep you warm and stimulate your imagination.

Friendly neighbourhood brewery in the West End. Special small batch beers every week and a rotating selection of 9-12 seasonal & experimental beers. Our long communal tables may encourage you to strike up a conversation with your neighbours, or you can grab a seat at the bar and chat with our friendly staff. Our space is cozy and relaxed. No TVs here. We are a brewery with a tasting room. We are not a brewpub. We do not have a kitchen. Local snack options available including mixed nuts, beef jerky & chips. We encourage our hungrier guests to order in food, or grab a pizza from our neighbours Wall Street Slice.

Kräusened craft beer brewed at the old livery on the edge of the Exchange District. Visit our open concept Taproom that has no windows or walls separating you and the brewing process. Enjoy "1919" Belgian Pale Ale on tap for only $5 a pint or the current Seasonal Brew for $6. We also sell 473ml cans, Kegs, and merch.

Came with my girlfriend, sat on the patio and we enjoyed the special brew/cocktail they were offering (learned about it through Instagram). We weren't disappointed as the service was great and the drinks even better. The location has charm. Making a point to come back here as often as possible for the limited time specials. As far as their usual products, we generally just buy them at the liquor mart.
4. Stone Angel Brewing Co
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14 reviews
Small craft brewery with taproom and patio, with a range of core pours and rotating seasonals. Usually around 15-16 beers on tap, we also make our own small batch cider. The taproom is family friendly with a rage of board games for customers of all ages. We also have a large western facing and dog friendly patio, that's perfect for those summer prairie nights. Accessible for the South Western Rapid Transit Route and local bike paths.

Visited the Brewery to meet a friend because it was close to the Hilton I was staying at. Pleasantly surprised how comfortable it was and noticed several families with kids there for the delicious Pizza. Live entertainment provided a nice experience.

What a delight! I have been to many brew pub establishments but none with such original food items, interesting decor, and attentive staff. My husband and I chose two different beverages to try, all made in house, with the exception of the cider I had. (It’s still pretty local, though, being from Winkler so I still felt supportive of Manitoba economy). The Baltic Porter was smooth and rich; I’m not even a beer drinker and it was excellent. We had a charming charcuterie, beautifully presented and very crispy-on-the-outside while tender-on-the-inside cod cheeks. Everything was perfectly served by delightful staff. It was a tolerable noise level where we were seated in very comfortable sofa type seats. But, pay very special attention to the ceilings in both areas of the Nonsuch, as they are the most unique I’ve seen in quite a while! It’s a must-do in Winnipeg!

Wide selection of beers, the new taproom itself is worth the visit. Very friendly staff, clean bathrooms, and easy to find. No food, beer only. Not sure if you can get food delivered there.
