Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery

Ontario microbreweries just beyond the city limits

Three words: Chocolate. Milk. Stout. With a tagline, “Normal is weird,” this Barrie microbrewery will make you understand just how far the boundaries of great beer can go. Only a quick turnoff on the drive to virtually any cottage up the 400, the brewery offers free tours and samplings daily, plus an easy-to-browse bottle shop. Learn the histories of the colourful cans that have become ubiquitous across Ontario LCBOs (the Hoptical Illusion is probably most well known), or take a risk on a seasonal or one-off like the Super Collidero 2.0 Double IPA or the Hibiscus Pale Lager.
