Napanee Beer Company

Award winning craft beer in the heart of Napanee. Napanee Beer Company started from humble beginnings and is now known in the area for their unique, tasty brews. They have four consistent beers that you can find all year; Deadline premium blonde lager, Mayday Belgian pale ale, Blacklist black German lager and the Extremist Belgian-style IPA. Each one is considered a favourite, depending who you ask. For the most unique of the bunch, I would try the Blacklist, described as ‘if a light pilsner and coffee whiskey had a baby’. You’ll often find limited quantities of seasonal beers as well.

Stop by and grab some cans to go. During non-Covid times they offer tastings and tours on site; stay tuned once things open up again! If you’re in Kingston, Napanee, Odessa or Bath you qualify for local delivery.
