Formerly known as The Robert Simpson Brewing Co. Ltd.
Simpson's Skye Defransisco waxes eloquent:
Enjoy a visit to our small lakeside brewery nestled in a scenic valley overlooking the clear turquoise waters of Kempenfelt Bay in beautiful downtown Barrie, Ontario. As a pioneer in the art of craft brewing, education and innovation, we hope to share our history, brewing philosophy and, most importantly, our collection of fine beers with you. Escape the traffic on the way to cottage country and treat yourself to a tour of our stunning brewhouse, our incomparable hospitality, and, of course, enjoy a complimentary sample of Confederation Ale, our gently aged, golden ale. While you’re in town, relax and stroll along the lakefront boardwalk, enjoy the award-wining landscaped parks, and amble down the pedestrian-friendly streets of Barrie lined with one-of-a-kind shops. Savour the inviting aromas of the restaurants, from “fun food” to critically acclaimed fine dining. All in all, an eclectic experience less than sixty minutes from Metropolitan Toronto.
