Pub #14 -- The Exchange Brewery, Niagara-on-the-Lake, September 27

I'm not clear on their laws, but many Canadian microbreweries (or at least ones in Ontario) don't seem to have an associated in-house restaurant.  They might serve a little food -- popcorn, charcuterie board, a few sandwiches -- but nothing like we're used to in the brewpubs we frequent.

The Exchange Brewery fit this profile, so after visiting a more traditional "pub" for peach and chicken pie (think steak and kidney pie, but with more pleasantly edible ingredients), we stopped in at the Exchange for a pre-play sampler of tasty sour ales.  They have a nice second-floor patio overlooking NOTL's downtown parks.

Sampler: Dunkelweizen, Gose, Belgian Pumpkin, Thai Basil Saison, Grand Cru 2017, Gluten Free (buckwheat) Saison
