About
The Exchange is a new premium brewery and tasting room located in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Old Town heritage district. Although the town is known as the heart of Ontario’s wine country, it is also the scene of a burgeoning craft-brewing industry. With brewing and agricultural roots that stretch back to the late 1700s, Niagara-on-the-Lake is the perfect home for The Exchange’s approach to brewing, which blends traditional and modern techniques and equipment.

We focus on making exceptional craft beers using only the highest quality ingredients, including local Niagara fruits. Our selection includes a range of American styles along with sour and funky Belgian-style beers and ales.

(750ml bottle that was gifted to my better half) Pours cloudy dark yellow-ish with a big frothy white head that leaves some lace. Notes dominated by bready, slightly white peppery phenolic yeast with grass, dried leaves, light fruit esters, slightly sweet grains, a bit of wheat flour type feel, sloft sweetness gives way to a dry and rather bitter finish, more phenols, dried grass, pepper. Rather light bodied, fairly high fizzy carbonation. Alright enough saison for drinking on a hot day, maybe the bitterness is a bit out of balance with the body but it does the trick.
