Go pay Rob a visit and he will hook you up with some incredible beer. I'd say they have a wide enough variety for there to be just about something for everyone. Love visiting here on a regular basis to try some new craft beer gems and stock up on some go to faves like Headstock. A pride of Burlington and it's nice to support local business.
Want amazing beer with an edge? Want you feel like you're a kid in a candy store? Look no further because this place is amazing. Friendly staff that will gladly show you the ropes. Every time i walk in they help me with anything to do with their beer. From food pairing to how they brewed the beer. The merchandise is to die for and if I ever have enough cash I'm getting the stainless steel growler(that's right, I said stainless steel growler) It's the best merch (and beer) I've seen in the Burlington-hamilton area.
Originally from Ontario, now living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Would love to visit the Brewery next time I'm in the province, however Wicked Awesome IPA and nothing short of its own name. Available for purchase out here, one of my most fav. IPA's Keep on Brewing! Cheers!
Come for the beer, stay for the friendly staff. A must-stop on your travel list.
Great service and even better beer, been coming here for just over a year now and they continually impress me. They're always so welcoming, if you havent been here or are on the fence about trying their brews. Stop by, it's really worth it!
Glad they've made the move to the Toronto area, been a fan for years. Staff are knowledge and friendly about what's on tap, they'll set you up with the perfect pint.
Great place, great service, and one of the greatest makers of funky beers. The sours that come out of here are top shelf.
Probably one of the best Ontario breweries. Always something new, with super high quality and amazing staff and reps. Love visiting them at the brewery and seeing what's new. The fact that they regularly have pop-ups is amazing.
Delicious brews and friendly staff. Be sure to grab a pretzel while here.
Best stuff you can get , anywhere! These guys have really good quality beers. World class!
One of the better breweries out there! Always interesting flavors and great service. They did some nice renovations that pull people in and create a friendly environment to mingle amoungst the drinkers. They always have some eclectic stouts on hand. More expensive than some breweries but it is backed up with flavor and innovation. A must try for all craft beer enthusiasts!
Great beers and great service. Lots of selection on tap and always new flavours to try. A stop in to the bottle shop is always my favourite errand to run.
I absolutely love Nickel Brook beer. From their core line to their one offs I’m rarely disappointed and when I am it’s a “not my thing” scenario. I was lucky enough to marry the most wonderful woman on earth in May and my only real request (men have few in weddings) was that Nickel Brook beer be the only beer available at the open bar. I couldn’t imagine sharing anything else with the people I love. I have been fortunate enough to meet John and play a concert at his home. He is an amazing guy and it’s reflected through every part of his business. Nickel Brook is simply the best beer I’m aware of (and I try everything). So proud and fortunate to have it brewed so close to home.
(Translated) Beeeeeeeer ... (Original) Beeeeeeeer...
Phenomenal beer. Food selection is great, beer cheese and pretzels are SO GOOD. Music is great, not too loud, you can have conversations without having to holler at each other. Great example of Canadian craft brewing industry. Keep it up!
I love Nickel Brook . The beers are imaginative and brewed with passion . Try the new what we brew in the shadows beer ???? it's delightful!
Friendly staff, great beer. Say no more.
Buying beer here isn't just supporting local, it's also really good craft beer. Usually has about 15 selections in can & bottle, and about 10 for growler fill. Go here for limited release beers, like the Bourbon barrel aged Kentucky Bastard, Cuvée, Immodest (DIPA) and Malevolent (black DIPA).
Great beer and nice to support a local brewery.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic beer with tons of variety mainly dealing with IPAs, Stouts and Sours. One of the best breweries outside of Niagara. Reasonable prices with lots of variety and options. Decent food selection to complement your drinking (probably not worthy of a dinner). Only brewery in Burlington but easily the best between Toronto and Hamilton.
Great place to try craft beers! Great service very knowledgeable, give them a try.
Having an top-notch microbrewery such as Nickelbrook in your own backyard is beyond amazing! I thoroughly enjoy the vast majority of the core range & "Funk Lab" releases and my wife heaps praise on the Nickelbrook root beer which is absolutely fantastic by any measure. Keep up the great work ladies and gents!
Fantastic beers and some of the friendliest service around. Pre-Covid we used to go for trivia night all the time and it was so fun in the tap room. I am so bummed they’re moving away but I’ll forever be a customer!
you gotta go here!!!
Great information, great conversation, cool spot
It was a great afternoon at the nickel Brook brewery in Burlington. Rob took us through a tour of the facility and answered all of the questions we had. Had a great tasting of a bunch of beers. Got a couple growlers to go. Can't wait to go back and try more and refill the growlers.
Fantastic fresh craft beers to fill my growler with. Why go to the LCBO when Nicklebrook is so close? I even buy my ingredients here for my homebrewing.
My wife and I make it a point to visit local breweries when we travel, so we stopped in on our way to Toronto. Tasty beer and friendly staff. I really liked the plethora of sour beer choices. Drink local! Support your local brewery!
Great atmosphere and really fun beers.
Nice warm atmosphere. Small venue with live music.
Excellent service and selections.
Super friendly/knowledgeable staff and a wide variety of brew! Not only do they make incredible beer but do yourself a favour and ask to try their Ginger Beer and Root Beer.. It's life changing :)
Didn't try a beer I didn't like.
Friendly staff and good quality local beer. Been going to Nickelbrook for years and we used kegs from them for our end of summer Pig Roast parties for years. We ran out of CO2 for our keg one year later at night and John came and delivered swapped out the co2 tank even though he didn't have to do that. Have been a loyal customer ever since and keep going back for more. Some of their beers are quite "hoppy" but they have a ton of selection.
Like the beer and the new tap room. But not a fan of the preset flights only. I believe flights are for sampling and mixing and matching.
Great craft beers. Friendly and passionate staff. What more could you ask for??
Fantastic beer. Headstock is my go to IPA, but I absolutely love the Kentucky Bastard, Bolshevik, Immodest, Malevolent, Naughty Neighbour are all great options. Local and stellar craft beer.
Really clean space and friendly staff. The games available to play free of charge were a great touch!
The worst beer I have ever tried. Nickel Brook was being served at the sound of music festival before the festival became popular enough to serve real beer. When I turned 19, I was so excited to be able to go to the music festival and actually get into the beer tent. I bought 4 drink tickets and went straight to get my first beer. It was a Nickel Brook and it was awful. But alas it was beer so I powered through it hoping that the next one would go down easier. I got my second beer and it was even worse. I threw my remaining drink tickets in the garbage. This happened around 2009 and I am still trying to get the bad taste out of my mouth. Hope this review can save at least one soul .
Awesome new Taproom! Check it out.
Great atmosphere, approachable staff, awesome beer.
Excellent ????
My favorite place for buying great craft brews! Worth the try
Also like cated
I had a weird experience there with some employee that was a total goof! Bizarre way to behave with customers, I'm done with this place. ????
The location makes it a less interesting patio, however the beer here more than makes up for it. Great selection, a different taste for everyone. I felt that Nickelbrook was being responsible with social distancing and had a great time.
Best brewery in the Hamilton area
Great decor, a great brewery if you're into sours, barrel aged beers and unusual fruit beer combinations. Still good standards if your not adventurous but the wild is definitively explored here.
my favorite micro brewery in the world. ( except perhaps St Peters in Halesworth, UK.)
Covid curbside review - place an order at nickelbrook.store When you receive your email, drive to the bottle shop, pop the trunk and call their posted phone number. Sit and watch as your box of beer is delivered to your car. Delicious beers, try several since you're going to be home for a while.
Great tap room. Staff are awesome! Always enjoy the atmoshere.
Rob was a great help. Loved the New England style IPA.
This delectable beverage devastated all five of my senses. Pickle juice with a hint of awful. We couldn’t finish one of these, shared two ways, between two avid drinking chums. Burn this one and give the public something ingestible.
Awesome beer and awesome service! They are always happy to let you sample if you are feeling indecisive.
Trying to choke back the Nickel Brook Gluten Free proves to be literally impossible. Do not purchase!!
Be closer to me. Dell ne all your homemade rootbeer!
If you like stout, it is your brewery!!!
Great IPAs and bareel aged beers. Wonderful patio and great staff and service
Avoid at all costs if you are a licensee. Accounts Receivable is a complete disaster.
Nice place and tasty beers! Cheers!
Makers of some of my favorite beers, and a great place to grab a bite and try something new.
Great beers, enjoyed a Tongue Tied and a No Bad Daze…. Both were delicious! Patio was average, but service made up for it for sure!!! Will be back!
Awesome
I love Nicklebrook's beer and was so excited to visit during my recent trip back to the Toronto area. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the space had expanded seating inside, in addition to a large patio outside. The beer was great as expected, as was the service and ambience. I can't wait for my next visit!
Good quality beers and staff are always chatty and willing to help
Great beer even better root beer. Honestly best root beer that money can buy. Good staff. Friendly place. Really part of the community.
Brewin with Lewin t-shirts need to happen
Nice patio will the afternoon sun, perfect for a fall day????
Love the location (off the beaten path but not by much) and their beers are good. It'll be a shame to see them move to St. Catharines due to fighting with Collective Arts, but I understand why. Their staff are, by far, the most knowledgeable and helpful, friendly, personable and unpretentious people I've met in craft brewing. They also don't force you to buy their glass when getting growlers filled. Great work!
Tried their Head Stock IPA and was actually disappointed, considering the raving reviews here on Google. It not that it was a bad beer but just kind of underwhelming.
I've always liked this brewery but I've never visited until this past weekend. We picked up some brews and were served by a positive, knowledgeable guy who was beyond helpful. Can't wait to come back!
Among my favourite breweries in the world. Owner is unbelievably welcoming and their beer speaks for itself.
This review is for the Babbling Brook Root Beer. Wow. So flavorful. Hits all the right notes. Was introduced to it via Lucky Belly restaurant in Guelph. Need to find this at a store to get a six pack. Top notch root beer!
This place is incredible! Jeff provided us with a memorable experience filled with a wealth of information regarding the brewery, brews and overall great service! It’s such a friendly environment! If you’re looking for eclectic range of beers and amazing service then come here! You won’t find better
All their beer is good, can't go wrong.
Great craft beer. Home of my favourite IPA, Head Stock.
An amazing brewery. Their sours are my personal favourite but everything they brew is fabulous!
They brew so many different beers here, which is actually not a good thing! I asked which beers they don't have in the LCBO, and the staff seemed annoyed with me. It seemed like a chore for me to be able to buy the beers I haven't tried before.
Great customer service
Great place for a tour! The commentary of the owner is very colourful but funny and informative. He has true passion for innovation in brewing!!
Great beers use to utilized their delivery service, but prices were raised unless you subscribe to a subscription. Hope you guys can address this issue rather then losing out on business.
Great beer! All I need to say!
Nice beers, good selection, carry store. For now just small 5oz samples, but you can have as many as you like. No food (yet). Currently expending the tap room. Great local brewery.
Good beer, definitely take the tour.
Great beer. Decent location. Seems like they were in the middle of renovations when i was there.
One of the best craft brewers in Ontario. Great beers, great venue, and passionate team. Visit if you can.
Great beer, friendly service.
Used a Groupon here and had a nice time. The brewery is small and the tour is informative and interesting. The workers are all knowledgeable and the decor is very nice. The beers are tasty and unique. You can really taste the craft freshness. They even give free samples for whatever you are interested in. Check out the Groupon if you're looking for a nice introduction to breweries! Will come back for sure!
Great beer selections on tap and in the retail fridge. Good staff and a nice vibe to the place.
Love thier Headstock!
Amazing!!! Great staff and suggestions. Love their beers.
Lovely spot with a nice selection of sour beers! Something for everyone to try. Staff have always been courteous and super helpful with selections. Pizzas are decent (try the smoked one) and there’s games to play in the back (cards etc.).
Great local beer, lovely people.
Great beer and the staff there are really friendly. Love supporting local!
Best quality beer all across the board. The nice taproom has been replaced but a nice spacious patio.
They make stellar craft beers. Tripped over their Raspberry Uber at a restaurant downtown and today I made my first trip to the brewery for it. Nice, easy to get to location, friendly staff and nice little retail store with views of the actually brewery in action.
Friendly staff will give you a free sample of any of their brews. Many are too hoppy for my preference, but the overall quality is well above par.
One of my favourite 'micro breweries' in the GTA. Their HEAD STOCK IPA is the schizzz...not too dry on the pallet like that other brewery's IPA near by. Keep up the great work TEAM!
Can’t say enough about the customer service I received when I ordered from Nickel Brook. Simply amazing. Fantastic beer every time AND they even won us over to Lost In Orbit! Now we have even more varieties to choose from! Wonderful humans making wonderful drinks!!!
They had beer, it was great
Nickel Brooks makes two of my favourite beers... Naughty Neighbour and Headstock. And the service is second to none! Sampling is available to try something new. I can't say enough good things about Nickel Brook! Cheers!
Everyone is super friendly. The staff is super knowledgeable about the beer. Probably my favourite brewery. I'm super excited that they're doing renovations to add a restaurant!
Excellent!!!!!!+
A great selection and experience!
Amazing beers and over 20 taps in the brew shop, their flagship products, plus number of monthly,seasonal and barrel aged. Quite the treat!
John gave an awesome tour! Beer was awesome, will go back for sure, good job guys!! Would highly recommend stopping at nickelbrook! Awesome people!
They always make me feel at home
Great beer and great people! Very willing to answer questions and seem genuinely enthusiastic about their craft. Would certainly recommend to any beer enthusiasts!
Outstanding beers
Great space, amazing beers
Best root beer ever!
Love the beer. Super people!
Great beer and friendly staff. Stopped by to support the GCC fundraiser they're contributing towards, shows that they're are great ppl behind their great beer
One of the coolest breweries in Ontario. Every beer they have is of the highest quality, and tastes amazing. I especially like the selection from thier Funk Lab. The best beers I've ever tasted are available here. They have some great merch too!
Interesting selection. Lots of sours.
I dont know about the brewrie, but their beer are soooo good. ????
One of the finest breweries in Ontario. Be assured of this. Not only did the location just finish a fantastic looking renovation which expanded the inside quite a bit, refinished everything, it looks stellar. Very open and comfortable. And that's not even before their beer. Let the beer speak for itself. Try any of their flagship styles and you'll be satisfied, if not definitely wanting more. Sour, stout, ales and barrel aged stuff specialists, Nickelbrook is without possible debate one of the greatest breweries in the province. And therefore the country.
The best brewery in Burlington!!!
My go to place for craft beers. Maple porter, imperial stout are decent. Really like the sour weiss and the majority of beer I have tried. A wide range of types of beers to enjoy. Friendly staff as well.
Loved the new sour flavours. Everyone was super nice and friendly!
I really liked their Sour beer! Fresh and tasty!
Not as warm or welcoming as they use to be
The retail store has been completely revamped and now has a great tap room. They have a huge selection and variety of tasty craft beers so there's surely one to quench anyone's thirst.
Their Headstock IPA is one of my go to beers I stopped in at the brewery when I was in town and both the beer and service were great. Recently, I placed an online order with them but their courier (ICS) lost one of my packages. Nickel Brook was great and sent me a replacement when it looked like the original wasn't arriving. The original did arrive after a few weeks and the box was shredded and taped to hell. When I opened it, everything was banged up and several cans were missing. Everything was also covered in dry beer. ICS didn't mention the damage and just assumed I wouldn't notice missing cans. Nickel Brook = Great ICS = Garbage
Very rude hostess staff. Went to give my name to be seated and was told to wait. Stood and waited patiently for 5 minutes. The hostess went to the white gentleman behind me to get the number of people in his group. I told the hostess that I was in front of the gentleman and she completely ignored me. Maybe I wasn’t welcome because I’m black ? That’s ok will never return here
Great beer and food selection
Super staff and great product. These guys know how to balance a great beer. Love almost all of them.
Best staff, best beer and best apparel.
Retail store and brewery. These guys make and sell the most excellent craft beers. And now they have a patio. Cheers.
Always first class staff. Helpful. Friendly. Engaging. A favorite brewery. First time in the updated layout and it is awesome.
Great beer and an awesome staff. Coming here is always a good experience.
My boyfriend and I try to visit local breweries wherever we travel. We happen to be in the area a lot because of family and Nickel Brook is in my top 3 for the area. They have a great selection of IPAs and Berliner Weisse's (a type of sour beer). Their Funk Lab series also promises to provide an interesting new sour every month. They actually have my favourite craft beer so far Uncertainty Principle, which is a barrel aged sour... unfortunately they didn't keg enough so it's only available in bottles. =( They just opened up a new tap room and I believe have plans to start serving food at some point. If you are ever in the area I definitely recommend checking out this brewery!
Personal touch...curteous service...good product
Love their beer! Great to be able to access the store, prices are also pretty cheap!
Very friendly service and fantastic beer
I bought a bottle of Nickel Brook Glory and Gold. I was really curious about it and was expecting something really good. I hate to say it, but this was the most terrible beer I have ever tasted. I couldn't drink it. One sip and I got an unpleasantly sweet tangy flavour that I can't describe. I do not recommend.
Great craft brews! We had a delay with our first delivery, but the support was so great we are placing another order with full confidence
Well done team .this wicked awesome IPA may just be the tastiest best brew I've had in a while . WOW.!!
Ordered in June 2020, amazing buying experience online and next day delivery for the beers - the driver was also very nice. Excellent beers as well.
Love all their beers. Great products at a fair price. I bought a couple wicked awesome IPA, and the label was coming off and underneath it says Citra hopped sour, so I guess they might be using cans for a beer that maybe wasn't successful? Maybe someone could let me know thanks.
Favorite brewery, and so close to home. Headstock is the best!
Great decor, a great brewery if you're into sours, barrel aged beers and unusual fruit beer combinations
Love this place. Great people , great vibes, great beer! Win, win, win!
Great spot
Love this place...did the tour and learned so much about the history and brewing process...great selection of beers and the food is also solid...especially the meat and cheese plate
One of my favorite craft breweries. The headstock IPA is amazing. Make sure to take a brewery tour and try the entire fleet!
We were greeted by Dale, the owner of Better Bitters Brewing Co, who happily greeted us and led us in a round of Happy Birthday for my girlfriend! He then proceeded to go through their sampling chart, totally free of charge and even gave us extras of the ones we liked. Afterwards, he personally took us on a tour through the brewery. The quality of the beers, plus the hospitality of the staff (especially both the owners) was top notch and we definitely plan on going back.
Great beer and great, friendly guys that work here. Shoutout to Brandon, you are a thoughtful superstar!! I really appreciate it.
I've been a big fan of their Naughty Neighbour, ESB and Headstock beers, but I was at a bar (brewhaha) in Toronto tonight enjoying some beers with a friend when some Nickel Brook employees started handing out free samples for an event. We thought this was pretty awesome until it turned out to be an event for the Conservative Party. I didn't realize they were contributing to political causes like this and it made us extremely uncomfortable. We left in a hurry and made a point not to give any of our money to a brewery that supports events like this.
Had a party this past weekend and ordered a keg. Staff was super helpful. Unfortunately had an issue with Co2 tank and tap. Without asking they sent out a staff member to help get things sorted out. All was good and really appreciate the customer service. Keg was drank quickly and thoroughly enjoyed. We will be back.
Great beer!! Had a few options for the non beer drinkers in the family, gave them the pineapple Uber and a few others that are light and cut dry like wine!
Great selection of local beers.
Excellent beer! Will go to the brewery soon.
Always a very friendly staff. Great selection, nice atmosphere. Love that you can sample some beers as a flight. Their rootbeer is incredible.
I'm a huge fan of sours and they have a really cool selection, all of which are great. Very cool place to hang out and have a beer as well. Staff are great.
They make a wide variety of excellent craft beer and the support local artists.
Always helpful and always tasty!
I love nickelbrook beer, there are so many amazing options and there is definitely something there for everyone. My new favorite is the blackcurrant and guava zap! I hope it becomes part of the regular line up!
Great venue, great beer! Ive been to their comedy night and their trivia night. Both were very low-key, enjoyable events. I had the Wicked Awesome the first time, and even though Im not a beer drinker I really enjoyed it!
I went here last weekend and had a great experience despite them under going renovations. The beers are delicious and there are plenty of options. I highly recommend Nickel Brook Brewery to any beer lovers out there! I will definitely be returning.
Love the brew here! Sooo good!
Wonderful staff and some of the best beer in Canada!
Great craft beer & great service (thanks Rob). They have a selection of beers on tap for sampling, but I don't think I've ever had one I didn't like. My current favorites are Head stock, Immodest, and Continental drift. And wet hop.. and naughty neighbor.... and......
I love Nickel Brook. Always feel welcome when walking in for a flight or to pick up a growler. Great prices and awesome beer. The sours are some of the best I've had. And ordering online is so easy. Today i picked up my pre-ordered Plum Uber and a beer glass. It was ready for the pickup time I set up in advance. And it was all labeled with my name. Can't wait for their renovation to be complete!
Great experience. I was able to try all options before buying. Great service, friendly, chill and relaxed atmosphere but professional. 6/5.
Great selection and lots of creative season beers to choose from. They also sell a non-alcoholic root beer!
Excellent IPA's. Love their Headstock, Metalhead and Wicked Awesome IPA's. Customer service is top notch and they sell delicious beer ????.
Awesome new Tap Room.
Awesome beer our LCBO in London is out of your beer! Please send more
Great place. Perfect for Saturday morning
