Two breweries, two minutes from our door: Walkerville Brewery and Chapter Two Brewing
Most neighbourhoods are lucky to have one great brewery. Walkerville has two, and both are about a two-minute walk from our front door.
The short version
Walkerville Brewery: a revived heritage name, with roots going back to 1885.
Chapter Two Brewing: 2345 Edna Street, with a garage-door beer garden.
Distance: About two minutes’ walk from our homes.
Why two breweries matter
Walkerville was built on a distillery, and making great drinks is part of its DNA. Having two craft breweries a short stroll from each other, and from our houses, means you can spend an afternoon tasting local beer without ever getting in a car. It’s one of the things our guests love most about staying here.
Walkerville Brewery
Walkerville Brewery carries one of Windsor’s oldest brewing names. The original Walkerville brewery opened in 1885, and today’s microbrewery keeps that heritage alive with beers like Honest Lager, Geronimo IPA and Easy Stout. Their beers are also sold at the LCBO, so you can take a taste of Walkerville home.
Chapter Two Brewing
Chapter Two Brewing on Edna Street is set in a historic building with exposed brick and an English pub feel. It has something rare for a local brewery: a beer garden you reach through a garage door. Their head brewer is a Certified Cicerone, and the taproom regularly features local art and live music.
Plan a brewery afternoon
Start at one, walk two minutes, finish at the other, and stroll home. No driving, no parking, no planning. Just check each brewery’s hours before you go.
