THE BEER LOVER’S TOUR COMPANY
Presents…
The first ever, Ontario Fall Colours Beer Tour!
A country day-tour of discovery, the Ontario Fall Colours Beer Tour explores the historic beer-brewing counties of Grey and Wellington. Starting and ending in Toronto, beer lovers will enjoy a day that includes a steam train ride, scenic country drives, three Ontario Craft Brewery visits, tutored tastings, lunch, a gourmet Beer Dinner, bus transportation and the services of international beer expert, Oliver Dawson.
With the arrival of German immigrants in the mid 19th century, Grey and Wellington Counties became known for their thriving local brewing industry. Today, town names such as Carlsruh, Neustadt and Hannover remind us of a rich cultural heritage. At the same time, the mineral-rich artesian waters in Wellington County, especially around Guelph, gave rise to an equally prosperous brewing industry.
On our Ontario Fall Colours Beer Tour, we explore the revival of traditional brewing in the area, with visits to Neustadt and Formosa Springs Breweries, as well as Wellington County Brewery, known for its traditional English ales. Our day will be capped off with a gourmet Beer Dinner at Guelph’s landmark pub, the Woolwich Arms.
History, culture, rural autumn scenery, great food and beer come together to make the Ontario Fall Colours Beer Tour a refreshing and educational voyage of discovery.
