Perth Brewery

121 Dufferin Street, Highway 7 Perth, ON

(613) 264-1087

 Just off Highway 7 you’ll find Perth Brewery, a large, bright, open space with a tasting bar at the front eagerly waiting to greet you. They are crafting a nice assortment of beers with a focus on the rich brewing traditions of Perth. Perth was originally a Scottish settlement so they have adapted the thistle into their logo as a little nod  their roots.  

 Jeremy, Terry & Cathy are all co-owners of this family operated brewery that has been operating since 1993. The passion and pride that they all continue to show is contagious to their staff and has not dissipated as they have grown and expanded their customer base and repertoire. They now offer everything from easy drinking lagers, to full flavoured ales, and everything in between.

 Their Bonfire Black Lager (available at the LCBO) was a surprisingly light bodied and flavourful drinking lager with notes of roasted malts, oatmeal, and mocha, yet the sweetness is far from overpowering and the finish is a slightly dry-clean hop finish.  It is a great beer to show people the versatility that dark beers can have, they aren’t all heavy and full bodied.
