Four Ottawa brewery patios to spend a fun afternoon

Some days you just want to sit back, relax and have a beer on a great patio.

Our food editor has compiled a few great patios for you to enjoy while the weather is good.

Overflow Brewing, 2477 Kaladar Ave.

Tucked away from the city noise, Overflow offers a welcome respite and you’ll be delighted by their new Lemon Hibiscus gose. Live concerts are also on the menu.

Beyond the Pale Brewing, 250 City Centre Ave.

Not only does BTP produce top notch ales for all palates but they have a hearty BBQ menu that will satisfy your cravings.

Braumeister Bierhalle, 175 Carruthers Ave.

The beer here really does deliver a taste of back home for me and their current Rheinwasser kolsch style is a great case for fine German brew.

Dominion City Brewing, 5510 Canotek Rd.

The brewers at Dominion City seem to be a playful bunch, forever putting out new styles and combinations of beer, which is why it’s not a bad idea to check out their patio to see what’s on tap. Seasonals sell out quickly.
