Wishbone Brewing Company - Waterford, Ontario

Welcoming staff, brewpub located in former Waterford knitting mill overlooking the ponds.
Beer was refreshing and varied. I prefer happy beer. Their IPA was good. Also had a sample of the Kilowatt and took one home which I'm really enjoying now.

Fantastic local brewery situated off the Waterford Trail with a fantastic river view on the patio! For all the accolades Wishbone has received for their nation wide awarded beers, the brewery continues to be a relaxed and vibey spot. As I am gluten free, the Mimosa seltzer provided a nice option to indulge. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to provide tasters if you are unsure of the beers that tickle your fancy. They also have lovely bar snacks that range from charcuterie to a baked pretzel. Weekend live entertainment and open until 9pm, Wishbone is a destination and local brewery that will leave you feeling apart of the community!

Made a LONG overdue stop at wishbone today with my Daughter and Dog for a Friday afternoon lunch on the patio. Absolutely loved it. Perfectly simple menu, unique small town street patio, great Beverages and equally amazing staff. 11/10 on everything!

Back again at Wishbone as our very last stop on the Spirits of the Season tour. Another great visit. Loved their dessert pairing with the beer and picked up more Jam Band for home. I'm enjoying one now as I write.
Looking forward to the next visit!

Original review:
Perfect sunny afternoon for a first visit to Wishbone Brewing to check out their brews (and patio, of course). Another stop on the "Toast the Coast" trail, Wishbone, had been recommended by staff at Concession Road Brewery in Jarvis. At Wishbone, the first staff person we spoke to was wearing a Concession Road t-shirt. It's such a wonderful vibe of support among these small town businesses!
Of course, the beer is the main thing. Among us, we tried Crowned Fruit, Black Bridge, and of course, for me, Jam Band - I can't say no to trying a Sour. All three brews were refreshing and delicious (especially the Jam Band). Friendly, welcoming, and helpful staff!

Loved it, and highly recommend a visit!

Great place for cold beer but if you’re looking for a big food selection, go elsewhere. Limited snacks available but they are warm and tasty.

What an amazing find in an awesome small Southern Ontario town! So firstly, dog friendly. Located in the midst of some charming scenery. Service was fantastic as were the brews! Delicious charcuterie and pretzel! Definitely a recommended stop on your brew tour!!

If you're ever in the area, make sure to stop by Wishbone Brewery, a hidden gem that captures the heart and soul of small-town brewing. From the moment you step inside, the welcoming atmosphere makes you feel like part of the family.
What really sets Wishbone apart, is the beer itself. Each brew is a testament to the passion and skill that goes into every batch. Whether you're a fan of crisp, refreshing lagers or bold, hoppy IPAs, there's something here to suit every palate. The seasonal specials are always a hit, and the rotating keeps things exciting and fresh.
Beyond the great beer, the brewery's commitment to quality is evident. The owners are often on-site, chatting with guests and ensuring every detail is perfect. It’s not just a place to grab a drink—it’s a place where memories are made, whether you’re enjoying a pint with friends or attending one of their lively events.
If you’re looking for a laid-back yet exceptional brewery experience, Wishbone is an absolute must-visit. Highly recommend!

Welcoming, extremely clean and attentive staff. Fresh quality beer with multiple truly different options including seltzers stouts radlers and weisse. Charcotuerie and hot pretzels. Lovely view of the water. On the pricey side especially for takehome. No growler fills (yet?) Recommend.
