Good selection of beers. Charcuterie boards are quite large and tasty. Set in an industrial looking space.

Toni Magee

Booked a tour through Groupon with Railway City what an amazing place! Staff was awesome! Friendly and very knowledgeable! Delicious beer! Would highly recommend going if you’re looking to do something different!!

Andrew Tompsett

This is a fantastic brewery and has something for everyone. My personal favourite it the Black Coal Stout and the Double Dead Elephant.

Reed Aiken

Popped in to sample some brews and make a purchase. Well informed staff, friendly and very helpful. Blown away by their yoga with beer class. Every other Wednesday, incorporating a sip of beer between poses. Great concept. Great beer too.

Corey Harman

Amazing beer, great staff. Go Friday and Saturday in the summer and try the pizza, it's amazing.

Andy Dabydeen

Awesome place to visit and revisit. Always new brews on tap, not necessarily found at the LCBO.

Dan Fisico

Hidden away in st Thomas industrial sect. Great beers, small town feel. Their 'in brewery' experience is growing into something great

Jason M

Fun part of the groupon w quai du vin winery. Tour w tasting of 4 kinds of beer. Lots of selection to purchase!

Stephanie Gerth

There are always new beers to try. I hadn't had pizza in years, so I gave it a try, and I was blown away by the fantastic wood-fired pizza. Also, the prices are very reasonable.

Erica

Stopped to pick up some beer and can’t recommend this place enough! A large selection with friendly staff and yummy beer!

Jenna Shaffer

What Started out as a good night, didn’t change it was still good because we weren’t gonna let the moron bartender change it. We walked into an empty bar and tried to pull two tables together to accommodate 6 people. The d bag bar tender leapt out from behind the bar and accosted us. Told us we had to sit in the back if we wanted to sit together.

Kevin S

Picked up a Christmas 3 pack + Glass at my local LCBO. I have only tried the "Twice Checked Chocolate Cherry Porter" thus far, but if the other 2 are this good, you have a new customer. Great product and love supporting Ontario Craft Brewers! You get a 1 star review however, because I have sent you 3 emails sals inquiries between Dec and January without a reply to date. Check your email and reply to your customers!!!!

Nic Theaker

Amazing people, service and most of all great beer

Lucas Irvine

Beer was good and the flights were a good idea. Sitting area was too close to the brewing and the smell was hard to ignore.

Stephen Wilcox

Really enjoyed the beer, nice variety! The room and staff are pleasant. Worth the visit!

jeff wilken

Love their beer, make the 2 hour drive occasionally to get beers not supplied at the LCBO. Decided to stay for a drink with a friend this time for a change...don't know if I'd the service was exactly bad but the lady that served us definitely annoyed the hell out of us. Continuously asked if we wanted another drink despite telling her repeatedly no thanks and we were deep in conversation. Then she pushed a snack menu on us, came back and stared at us till we looked up. It wasn't busy at all yet we very much felt like she was giving us the message to buy more or leave. I was very tempted to pull out my receipt and show her that I'd already spent $100 there on beer that was in my trunk. We elected to pay our tab and leave. I will be back to buy more beer but I definitely won't be sitting down for a drink next time.

Kate Burke

Great beer and really lovely people! They hosted a group of us for a rehearsal dinner and went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. Must have the Orange Creamsicle beer and the garlic fingers!!

Rob Allen

Great beer here for every taste. You can try out a taste at their tasting bar with great view of the brewery floor. A great way to support local businesses too.

I bought a groupon for Railcity and left a raving review specifically for the bartender than gave us the tour. One of the bonuses of doing the tour was getting two free glasses. Upon returning home we realized that the glasses we got were specifically Christmas themed (red and blue with holly and ornaments along with a big old candy cane. A little annoyed they used this opportunity (on March 11th) to unload old Christmas stock but since it was a groupon I wasn’t too fussed. I didn’t think much of it until after we noticed the glasses, but when we arrived we were also offered to pick a size of blue tshirt off the rack (included in the groupon) until we saw a classy white one with a black logo printed on it. There was a sign beside it about getting a shirt with a tour which mentioned a $5 upgrade. Of course we wanted to upgrade to the cool white and black one for $5 and the guy pulled a size small out from behind the cash. The tour was amazing and we had no complaints when we checked out with our growler, when I reminded him we owed him $5 extra for the shirt. He told me something like “oh the white shirt comes with the tour, I just didn’t think we had any left.” It wasn’t until I saw the glasses that I suspect he was trying to get rid of old tshirt merch on top of the glasses. A little disappointed about those actions regardless of being a groupon - the group on got us in and we still bought more stuff on our way out.

Juan Carlos Reyes

I had a guest from Russia and took advantage of their group on promotion. Time well worth spent! Will definitely come back.

Todd Ronald

Great brewery with friendly staff and lots of good beer in all styles. My favourite is the IPAs !

James Milks

The beer is good, and the space is nice. The person helping us wasn't great. She seemed thoroughly annoyed at our presence and made no effort to discuss their offerings, and seemed more concerned with getting us paid up and out the door as quickly as possible. Craft brewers must build their brand, and can't afford to be this indifferent. Keep brewing, but boot the blond with the diamond tooth.

Linda Dam

Great beers and friendly staff! I'm from Ottawa but would visit again the next time I'm in the area.

Bradley Semotiuk

The beer is fantastic and the customer service is also amazing...really a must try if you enjoy good beer.

mrbluebike

I stopped in for the in house store. Excellent, friendly, helpful service, good deal on a 4 pack, and great beer!!! So happy a chance road trip for work, brought me two blocks away..

Kelsey Lenti

Industrial style bar with brewery visible in the back. They always have new beers to try, and one of these days I will have to try their pizza!

Tom Woodroffe

Fantastic beers! Excellent service! Very friendly staff!! Definitely recommend a visit or two!

Chris Toplack

Railway City Brewing Co has been producing high quality beers for over a decade. It’s easy to understand why they are such a mainstay in St. Thomas.

Sebastian Kluth

Railway City Brewing Company in Saint Thomas offers a great selection of beers that changes quite regularly. I bought a six pack of different types I had never tasted before and ended up enjoying all of them.

Kevin Spicer (Psychopsilocybin)

The patio here is stellar, lots of space inside for when that opens up. Great beer selection and service. We had the pepperoni pizza. Great snack for two or a meal for one. Light and tasty. Pick up a nice light hoodie when you are here. Very reasonable pricing on merch.

Dustin S.

Ashley rocked it! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Beer was awesome. We had the patio all to ourselves. 8 on tap and a great selection of beers to go. ????????

T Ma

Great beers and friendly staff!

Ryan Elliot

Was there last week. We were greeted by someone so apparently worked there, who was sitting at a table putting labels on bottles. When we said we were here to try a beer, she then went and sat down at the table again, and we had to go and stand at the bar to get service. They have a large chalkboard with their beers listed on it, and sadly, a number of beers were out of stock but were not marked as such (or just removed) from the blackboard. We were not asked at any time if we needed any additional drinks until we'd been there for about an hour. We had to keep going to the bar to get more. They also were not busy at this time so the customer service left a lot to be desired. When we did get beer, it was good. The seating and atmosphere was nice - a selection of board games to play was appreciated. Overall, there are plenty of breweries that have better service and selection, so I wouldn't go out of my way to go there again.

Susan Abbey

The girls behind the bar know what they are talking about!! Great beer, and explained well! I love the jumbo elephant history too!! ... …

Jacob's Dad1981

Every time I go in I'm treated like family! The staff is knowledgeable and proud of their product. One of my favourite places to visit. I feel so much cooler than I am when I go there.

Jon Newman

Was very busy when we attended today. Turns out they had an art show going on and it made the place very busy. They seemed to attract a good crowd and a variety of people. They have a good variety of beers and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Wish it was closer to London as they offer some good evening gathering ideas and events.

Luke Faulkner

Your last canning of iron spike amber was a cloudy syrupy mess. Not sure what happened but I cried while I had to pour it down the drain. Poor quality control and consistency...totally turned me off from your brews.

Megan Ward

Very good! Not a very beer person but they have some options that are pretty good. Favourite is the Juice caboose and orange creamsic ale. Wish they had more options for snacks but otherwise everything was great!

Shawn M

Double Dead Elephant is my favorite IPA in all the world. As a self proclaimed IPA expert taster, you'll find no better.

Aaron Bowen

This is one of my favorite breweries in Ontario. I made the 1.25hr drive just to see the place. I wasn't disappointed. Extremely friendly staff and of course some of the best beers in Canada. May I recommend Juice Caboose!?

Chris R.

Nice tour of the brewery and 10 different samples. Some good beers.

Steve Farrand

Like James' review, the particular staff we dealt with didn't seem in the mood to sell any of her product. Came in and sat down to show a family member from out of town the local brewery. Asked about the product available on tap and she was very annoyed when she eventually had to go through the list and tell us. "whatever you see here" while lazily pointing at the taps wasn't the answer I was hoping for. I was definitely there to buy beer and have a moment with dad sampling all the different available brews. Ended up buying two single cans that I knew I liked and we left immediately. It's too bad as I was really looking forward to another good experience here as I've had in the past. Brunette, 30ish years old. Probably not the person I'd put in any sort of sales position, especially in the competitive craft brew market.

Rebecca Dalla-Vicenza

This place is the best brewery we have ever been too! The beer is AMAZING and the staff are legendary!! You CAN"T NOT have a great time here. Great bands too! WOW!!!!!

J. R.

Sat for a while before being served, the bar area was all dark, maybe it was closing time?

Jeff Ryan

This is the best craft brewery, and Paul is a super host. He gave us a wonderful tour, and really opened our eyes on how craft beer is made, and the process it has to go through. My frustration is why can't I buy this beer out West?

Alex Hoffer

Fantastic business, great people, delicious beer! What else could you ask for??

Rob Lawton

Great ????. Went for tour of brewery, was pretty interesting. Didnt get t shirt with tour so we had had a few extra samples. Good deal.

Rose Walsh

Awesome beers Service terrific A definite must

Tonic Ent

We were the DJ/MC for their Halloween party this year and we had a blast! Scott and the rest of the team were so welcoming and made sure we got to try their beer. Let me tell you, it was amazing! Overall a great company and we hope to be back there soon!

Sean Angus

This place was great, the staff was very friendly and the food and drinks were delicious. Would definitely come back.

Karen lyriclass

Friendly service and great beer. I recommend the stout.

Sanjay Ghai

Great afternoon with great friends. The drinks were nicely flavored.

shauna proctor

Railway City supplied my bistro with beer products for 6 months. The service was very unprofessional and the company refused to refund us for several empty kegs that were returned. The sales rep constantly showed up unannounced during our busiest hours and when I tried to sort the issue out with upper management, they refused to take the time to review my invoices with me and pay me the outstanding monies they owed. I would NOT recommend any professional organization retail Railway City products.

Rose Stewart

Food provided by Elgin Harvest. Wood Fired Pizza. You are given 5 choices. Most of the ingredients are from local sources. So it tastes fresh. The best part is the crust is sourdough made. Best pizza crust I ever had. I have wheat sensitivity and I've had no issues and it's now hours since I've eaten. For me this over the top fantastic. I haven't had pizza for years. I'm very grateful for this little pizza company. All the best folks. Job well done.

cliff sobchuk

Helpful staff. Good selection of beers on tap. Decent price for a flight of 4 - 5 oz beer tastings.

George (Roggie)

Great place to buy beer. They also have a bar, with a quite few of their beers on tap. And every single one of the staff i have dealt with have been very friendly and just great staff all around.

Kathy Aldred

I play darts here every Tuesday evening. The staff is fabulous. They go out of their way to help you and answer all of your questions. I have met allot of new friends here. If you are looking for a place to have a few really good beers and be able to talk at the same time without music blaring in your ears stop in for sure. Support your local community.

mike reardon

Great beer, great staff...very knowledgeable. The only complaint is the plastic cups...not good. Beer should be in glass!!

Erica Killik

I absolutely love Railway City Beer! Best flavour! Best customer service! I recommend it to everyone I know!

Luke Parsons

Great atmosphere, lots of different beers to try. Their flagship dead elephant is good if you like hoppy beers (not for me) but with their large selection there is a beer for everyone

Matt Davenport

Ordered a case of their Ducks Unlimited limited edition beers. Have yet to receive them. That was in July I ordered them, it is now nearly NOVEMBER!

Jim Lobb

Great place. Smells a bit like a barn due to the small location but great staff, great atmosphere, and most importantly great beer!

Jamie Weisler

A Great BIG shout out to the crew at Railway City Brewing. Their help and guidance for our daughters "covid" bridal party was above and beyond. They provided us with the information so we could host a Railway City Brewing tasting afternoon. We served flights of tasty treats. And these girls loved the craft brew. The favorite was the Orange CreamSic Ale, followed closely by PLAYA Cerveza and Train Reaction. The Flame Thrower was a bit too spicy for a couple of the girls but they were happy to put that fire out with Witty Traveler. Overall a HUGE success. Cannot begin to thank you all enough!! CHEERS.

Matthew Chew

Great value for the tour. It's short but informative. Unfortunately the was a band playing when we were doing the tour and it made it hard to understand what the guide was saying. The beer sampling was excellent and the swag bag was a great touch. Highly recommended.

Katie McEwin

Love this place! We've done the tour a couple times (the guides were great so it was still interesting the second time), been a few times to try out the seasonal special beers, and just did a paint nite. Always great beer and atmosphere. It seems they're constantly improving!

SHAUNA COURTNEY

Camped in the parking lot with Harvest Host membership, quiet at night, purchased beer to take home with average price of $3, staff extremely helpful & we used her 2 suggestions of Waterworks park & St Thomas Roadhouse & both were great, thanks!
