The Reckless Rooster does as he pleases. His citrus hop aroma compliments his balanced malt character. He finishes with a refreshing mild bitterness that recklessly lingers on the palette.

Bitter is the Grumpy Goat’s middle name. His powerful pine-like flavour is complimented by a sharp hop aroma. He will head-butt you with his excessive use of Zeus & Chinook hops. He is Grumpy.

The classy cow is big and full-bodied. Her milk sugar provides a creamy smoothness complimented by a sweet finish. Her dark ebony colour comes from a generous use of roasted malt.

The Bumbling Bear lives his life in a haze. His cloudy nature comes from a high quantity of wheat malt. His frequent ramblings through blueberry patches blended with specialty yeast results in a fruity aroma and smooth finish. Made with Blueberries from TNT Berries in Shakespeare, ON.

The Refreshing light Fryfogel Fox is named after the last remaining Canada Company tavern build along the Huron Tract. In 1828 Sebastian Fryfogel was commisioned to build on the Huron tract close to Shakespeare. Construction of the current inn began in 1844. Not only was it used as a stagecoach stop and inn, but it also brought comminuity together both politically and socially. The building ran as a tavern until 1867 as the Grand Truck Railway was built in 1850 and became the more popular mode of transportation.

With a beautiful fruity strawberry aroma this Milkshake IPA is refreshingly light. A smooth citrusy vanilla taste ignites your tastebuds while a hint of juicy hops linger on your tongue. This hazy tangerine coloured IPA is true summer vibes.

The Heavy Horse works hard to get the job done. His strong,spicy spirit comes from a mix of wildflower honey and wild Ontario yeast cultured from a local orchard. His rough around the edges golden complexion blends smoothly with his earthy reputation.Honey from Nith Valley Apiaries in New Hamburg ON.

Who’s a good boy? The Disobedient Dog’s roasted malt sweetness is naughty by nature but how can you not love his buttery toffee flavour and red colour? Just watch your beer; it is so good, the disobedient dog may steal it right off the table.

Just like pumpkin pie in a glass. Made with real pumpkins from Smelski Pumpkin Farm just outside of Shakespeare. The flavours of this smooth brown ale compliment the pumpkin pie spices perfectly.

The Grumpy Goat is truly a Jekyll and Hyde. His Jekyll side has a less powerful pine-like flavour and is complimented by a malted hop aroma. He will still head-butt you with his excessive use of Zeus & Chinook hops and come back to reality with a roasted malt finish to ease your nerves.

This Piña Colada Pale Ale is the perfect blend of pineapple, coconut and beer. If you close your eyes while drinking this beer you may believe you are on a beach somewhere rather than stuck in your house for eternity. This may not be your caribbean vacation but it’s close.

Really solid beer at a great price. They also have board games and Big Buck Hunter to play for free! Their washroom is also super clean and full of hilarious quotes.

A great spot to stop in Shakespeare! Great beer and atmosphere - a large outdoor patio in the summer! Lots of varieties of beers with new ones coming out frequently to try too.

Owners were super friendly and the beer flight was good. Small little brewery in a small town. They did a great job inside. Only downfall is they only had 3 of their 5 beers on tap and cans were a little on the pricier side

When we lived in the area, Shakespeare Brewing Company was a regular post-work destination - the beers are always delicious and creative, and you can't beat the relaxed, friendly, small-town service and atmosphere. One of the worst parts about moving away was lack of access to the brewery - however, they deliver locally, and they've recently expanded their shipping options. So this morning, I got to find all my favourite beer varieties from Shakespeare Brewing waiting on my doorstep (minus the Bumbling Bear Blueberry Wheat, because it was understandably sold out, and plus a brand-new pina colada pale ale that I'm super excited to try). If you like craft beer, you're gonna love Shakespeare Brewing Company.

Absolute 10/10 brewey. Their location is between the firehall and variety story with lots of parking. The owners are fantastic but the beer is the best around here. The Milk Stout they have is a MUST try and their OPA and IPA are out of this world. Pub owners in Stratford need these beers on tap!! They serve draft flights and 12oz glasses, free popcorn, and a place to sit down. Growlers are available on draft as well. Non alcoholic beverages available as well. Also family friendly; said they do food trucks in the summer and tours down to the Fryfogal Tavern so bring the family! The atmosphere is amazing have a Shakespearian style to their layout. Their artwork on the walls are fantastic and a must see. They have board games and crokinole!
