Ottawa Craft Beer Week (OCBW) is back, and as lots of us continue to think local, and support local Canadian businesses, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the best beers in the city. Building on last year’s success, the second edition of the week long celebration follows the same, simple model to make it easy to try new beers, meet new brewers and find your next favourite hangout.
This Sunday marks the first day of fall, but this weather has us hanging onto those summer vibes. We’ve got a real mix of events this weekend, ranging from art and food festivals to road races to Oktoberfest celebrations!
It’s a busy time of year with plenty to do! Whether you’re staying cozy inside at a holiday market or concert, or venturing out to check on the winter trails, have fun!
If you love outdoor dining or COVID-safer spaces, you thankfully don’t have to wait for summer patio season to start up again: Ottawa has some cozy winter patios you can enjoy right now. As well as their pleasant atmosphere, many of these spots have local brews and delicious menu items. Here are nine winter patios that are open across the city.
The Almonte Outpost opened on Friday December 3 and brings some of our favourite Almonte treats to the heart of the ByWard Market.

Kichesippi Beer Company celebrated its 10th anniversary on April 29. Since the brewery originally opened in 2010 on Carling Avenue, and later moved to Bells Corners in 2019, it has achieved great success as a family-oriented, community-focused business.
While breweries did, mercifully, fall under the essential workplace designation, the closures of gathering spaces and bars changed how thirsty quarantiners can access local craft beer.
If you have given up on dates and times, and are living purely based on feelings, join the club. Stay healthy, stay positive, and stay strong friends. We’re doing it.
