Located in the heart of Almonte, Base Camp Brewing Co. (https://basecampbrewing.ca/) is a small craft brewery committed to engaging the community through great beer (red ales, pilsners, lagers and more) and relationships.
Amid the rural beauty of Pakenham is Cartwright Springs Brewery (https://csbeer.ca). Innovators in environmentally-friendly initiatives, the brewery takes advantage of the natural artesian spring on site to craft their brews.
Farmgate Cider (https://farmgatecider.ca) in nearby Arnprior is a family owned and operated cidery known for using local and sustainable agricultural practices to craft their ciders. This means no pesticides or sulphites are used in production.
An Almonte destination, Dairy Distillery (https://vodkow.com) are the makers of the renowned Vodkow vodka and a tantalizing array of cream liquors using technology that converts a dairy byproduct into their vodka.
Stalwart Brewing Co. (https://stalwartbrewing.ca) calls Carleton Place home and offers an eclectic mix of beer and seltzers. They pride themselves on using only the finest ingredients (including one beer made with Hummingbird Chocolate Maker’s Hispaniola cocoa nibs!)
Just down the street in Carleton Place is Braumeister Brewing Co. (https://braumeister.ca). This Bavarian-inspired craft brewery has a passion for brewing some of the finest European beer styles locally.
Perth Brewery (https://perthbrewery.ca) has been making quality fresh small batch beer since 1993, making them one of Canada’s original craft breweries. Their passion for beer making is seen through their extensive and colourful lineup of brews.
A love of the outdoors and adventure is brewed into everything Ottawa Valley’s Whitewater Brewing Co. (https://whitewaterbeer.ca) does. Committed to protecting the environment, they are also Climate Neutral certified.
Carp’s KIN Vineyards (https://kinvineyards.com) is family-owned winery located on 47 acres of land in the heart of the Ottawa Valley. A strong belief in viticulture goes into every wine they make.
Our entertainment for the evening, Silver Creek (https://www.facebook.com/silvercreekmusic/), hails from Ottawa and offers heartland-soul and rock, drawing inspiration from Neil Young and The Band. They’re sure to keep the crowd on their feet!
