We're gathering Ottawa listings — check back or submit an event you know about.
Ottawa's craft-beer scene has grown steadily over the last decade, with breweries clustered around ByWard Market, Hintonburg, Wellington West and the Kanata / Bells Corners industrial pockets. The event calendar peaks in summer with festivals like the Ottawa Craft Beer Festival on the Aberdeen Pavilion grounds and Big Rig Beer & Chili Festival, and continues year-round through brewery anniversaries, cask nights, and cross-provincial collaborations with breweries in Gatineau and Montreal.
Ottawa also benefits from the Ontario Craft Beer Week programming in June, when Ottawa breweries host tap takeovers, cask nights and paired dinners alongside the province-wide slate.
