Reviews of Black Swan Brewing Co. (Winery)

Mike Russell

Best brewery in Stratford! (yes we have more than one) Served at most of the better eateries around town or for sale directly from the brewery! Great place to enjoy a cold beverage on a hot day or cold.

James Hitchcock

Great spot good beer

KSP

We did a tour and was very educative. Wonderful people and amazing beer!!!!

Joseph Alberta

Great, even tho I haven’t been yet but it’s close to where I’m sitting so it’s perfect.

Christopher Kerr

2nd best IPA and the best double IPA in Canada! #1 IPA is at Banff Ave Brewing Co.

Stacey Laliberty

Best beer in town!!!

Carey Pearson

Well worth coming in to Stratford for the afternoon. Good beer. I specifically liked the "Wild Child" Cherry Berliner Weisse.

Dave Magee

Great little brewery with some flavorful beers to try. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Recommendation is to try the Wild Child, which is a sour beer that changes its fruit ingredient periodically which has kept me going back for more.

Mark T

Fantastic selection of beers and very friendly atmosphere

R. Scott

This is a must if you like beer and stop through Stratford. Phenomenal IPA, good music, great service. Seating is quite limited but it definitely presents a comfortable local vibe.

Trevor Cherewka

Great beer. Friendly staff. Would def recommend to any craft beer lovers.

Phil Cave

Octavian Ciubotariu

Great beer and great hosts!

Alex Roy

Play some pool, drink some beer, have a good time. Thoroughly enjoyed this place and really enjoyed the pizza. It's nice that they have games down below and a pool table. The urinal is a keg. Pretty cool. Also they have that childhood game croqanoe or however you spell it. Just go and get some beers here and have a good time.

Jordon Van Pelt

Local beer is awesome!

Ian Kerr

Tasty beers, ipa and epa are tops imo. Spend some time with games and pints

Josh Near

A great locally owned brewery with a good rotation of beers. They have several pale ales and at least one sour beer. On Thursdays, they have a runners club that starts and finishes all their routes at the brewery and people usually stay for beers after. The runs are open to anyone who shows up and the regulars are all friendly.

This small craft brewery is super welcoming. I got a flight of five beer ether had on tap: English Pale Ale, a Porter, an IPA, an apricot sour, and an APA. Once I was done, the man behind the bar asked what I thought. When I shared the ones I enjoyed : the Porter and the Apricot Sour, he gave me a sample of a raspberry sour, which was even better. In all, a friendly place with good beer.

Mason Family Nathan

Solid beer menu, newly renovated, great staffing

Chris Daly

I tried Black Swans beer a couple days ago for the first time and I will continue to purchase going forward when I stop in Stratford...just like I did today. Excellent beer.

Craig Webb

Great beer, friendly staff.

Austin Brown

Great beer friendly people. A very hometown atmosphere with people always happy to chat and talk and play games. The only downside is the small table area. Great that it is usually full when we go. Love their model of being in many local restaurants. EPA all the way

Ryan Byrne

Black Swan is a staple in the Stratford community but also the region. They are set apart as a craft brewery that actually gets to know their customers and values their input. Just one of the reasons why I make the trip from Londy to Straty for my growlers. Cheers guys, great experience every time.

Ina Toso

We sampled five local beers of varying types (EPA and Porter to name two). My partner is a non-beer drinker and found a couple of the beers surprisingly tasty! We left purchasing two elixirs (32 oz) of Wild Child and Road Trip (a seasonal selection). The owner and staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. We would highly recommend a visit if you are in Stratford.

HurlgoatHiker

Great Beer and Awsome staff. Popular for there EPA but love the IPA as well. Great place to sit and have a pint of great fresh beer! Nicely located.

Tanubis Fletcher

Terrible service.

Rosehurst Stratford

Super local, fun upbeat place to enjoy great local beer and a simple pizza.

Rene Letoile

Tried all four beers they had on tap and all were very good. Especially enjoyed the IPA. Staff were very helpful even recommended good places to eat in the area, I will definitely be back.

Rhonda

Great service, good cold beer, nice surroundings and very cool apparel. Support local.

Jennifer Wicks

Awesome beer! Great people!

Marcin Tandecki

I must have caught them on a bad day as there was no bottles available to go, and all the taps were out as well, which is a shame as we were considering hanging out for a bit.

Joanna Gilarski

Really nice facility with tasty beer! My only feedback is that the facility is very small, so when you go with a big group of people, it gets crowded quickly, so I wasn't able to enjoy the beer as much as I'd like to.

David Annen

Have 3 times, always a great experience and atmosphere. Staff is top notch, highly recommend this brew pub!!

Bruce MacKinnon

Went over to Stratford to have a beer at this place on the recommendation of my daughter it was lovely I had the India pale pale 6.5% ABV very happy/hoppy

Joel Anderson

I'm not sure how you could give these guys anything but 5 stars. Fantastic beer. Friendly people.... I think they may put addictive chemicals in their beer that make you crave for it nightly though.

Jeff Wenzel

Would have given 5 starts however they fail in the growler filling department 95% of brewery's in Ontario allow filling of your own growler. Black swan does not this is why I have not returned to this brewery. Great tasting beer

Kaleda Connell

One of my favourite little breweries. Great staff, great atmosphere and a beer for every palate. It’s a regular weekly stop ;)

Wilson Lam

I had a growler that broke but Black Swan made sure that I got to try their beer. It’s really great!

Bruce White

We tried a flight of beer. It was part of the Stratford bacon and Ale Trail tour. Great wat to try some different Ales

Cyrille Fopoussi

My new standard in experiencing high quality and highly flavorful EPA beer. The pride of Stratford

Trish Hillinger

Great small brewery, great selection of beer Had the flight and I enjoyed all the beers.

Ken Brindley

Great local beers! Friendly servers. Perfect example of a craft brewery!

M Fulsey

nice spot for a beer on the patio, if you are hitting breweries in the area you definitely want to stop by here, nice selection to go too. missed them this summer as i had a hit a few others but i hope to be back soon

s macisaac

Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean place.

Nikki Punga

Super friendly, knowledgeable staff and really great beer! Highly recommend, we bought more to bring home!

Courtney Gagnon

IPA heavy, but all very good

David Jerrett

Great beer. Great people. I loved it.

Tim Herman

I'm ecstatic that my home town finally has a great brewery. Their standard IPA is one of my favourite Ontario IPAs, and their The Galaxy Awakens is a nice, less hoppy variant for easier drinking. I can never head home without a half dozen requests to bring growlers back to Toronto, so they're obviously doing something right.

Erika Mahy

Great place with amazing staff

Richard Wright

Nice place, great beer

Mi Weijers

Amazing staff and the IPA is the best!!!!

Lindsay Barber

Great beer and super friendly and informative staff.

Michael Stotts

Very friendly staff. Clean location. Excellent choices. Superb taste! Reasonable price.

Taras Kalman

Proof that the beer gods are shining on Stratford. Not to be missed either as a take-out with a growler or drink in with a flight. :)

Jeff Scott

Nice little brewery with a great selection. Staff are friendly with lots of information. Great beer!!!

Garrett Swan

Favourite brewery in Ontario

Nathan Dyck

Nice Craft Brewery! Great Beer!

Trevelyn Brown

Great place, great beer

Lino Iannacchino

I've never tasted an IPA as delicious as this......Quite honestly, I don't normally drink IPA's however, this ale is on a different level. Well done Black Swan! Now, if I could only find it in the GTA. I will definitely be stopping by anytime I'm in the Stratford area.

Alina Watson

Great atmosphere and delicious beer!

Jorge Cortes

Great people

Joshua Sokolowski

Just did a tour and tasting. Great Beer brewed by those who love it and are proud of their offerings. Top notch service too. Brewed behind the bar. Clean and Artisanal.

Jaclyn Titus

The IPA was stellar! Hop forward and nicely balanced!

Steve Banks

Great beer. You can't go wrong if you go to Black Swan!

Diane Williamson

Super friendly staff, great beer. Really enjoyed our visit. Would highly recommend.

Terry-Lynn Sim

Great space to drop in or take home. Loved the IPA, English Pale Ale and Porter. Flights are a must to taste them all. So good. Looking forward to their expansion and smaller bottles.

Lisa Chester-Hanna

Amazing ???? ????
