Located at LeBreton Flats, this 140 year old building, former grist mill is rich in industrial heritage and charm – a unique setting to grab a pint, enjoy innovative food pairings, brewery tours and sampling including specialty beers available only on-site and at select Ottawa establishments.
The first outpost of Toronto’s Mill Street Brewery is well situated: a 140-year-old grist mill near Chaudière Falls on the Ottawa River, where a huge summertime patio offers an appealing afternoon getaway. The place is perennially packed and serves its own beers, including a couple by brewmaster Adam Rader different from those available in Mill Street’s Toronto pubs. Credit Ottawa’s softer water. Portage Ale is a light, crisp cream ale; Ambre de la Chaudière carries hints of fruit and spice. Beer flights are available; so, too, are Saturday brewery tours.
