When I read that Monowhales were going to play a show at a brewery in Sarnia, I didn't have to…read morethink long before buying a pair of tickets. The band always puts on a terrific show and I'm always down to explore a new area and try some local eats. We arrived at Refined Fool probably about an hour or so before the show, and we were able to snag an absolutely choice table mere feet away from the stage. I tried several of their beers, starting with a flight and then moving on to a couple of pints, and I enjoyed all of it. I also figured I should eat something, so I went ahead and ordered The Spicy Coward ("Fried chicken sandwich topped with slaw, pickles, and Spicy Rebel Sauce"), and we decided to share the Poutine ("Guerrilla fries topped with St. Albert cheddar cheese curds and housemade gravy") as well. Everything was delicious. I enjoyed the heck out of my chicken sandwich, as it contained a perfectly-fried piece of chicken that was complemented by a tasty, zingy sauce and those pickles and slaw. The poutine was a cut above, as well, as it packed a spicy punch and the gravy itself was far tastier than most. We inhaled everything happily. As a music venue, Refined Fool is an amazing venue too. As I mentioned, we were super close, so it was just such a treat to see one of our favorite bands so up close and personal. And it was pretty great being able to sit the whole time. I'm almost jealous of people who live in Sarnia now, because if Refined Fool is any indication, they've got it really, really good.

This brewery makes some very good beers and they experiment with all sorts of creative libations. The names, pretty witty as well. I grew up in this area and this place is so needed in Sarnia.

I discovered Starr Craft about a year ago and am always amazed by the next beer hitting the tap. Jalapeño Mexican, Japanese Rice, Maltball Porter.... all very good. In my opinion Monday nights are the best, when most places are closed they have a karaoke night that is fantastic. I do not sing but those who do are good, it is like a party with friends, no judgment. Finally, you can't beat the friendly bartenders, best anywhere. If you love good beer and good people give it a try.

Baffin Brewing in St. Clair Shores is truly something special. From the moment you walk in, you can…read morefeel how intentional they are about creating a welcoming, inclusive environment, especially for families and even solo workers looking for hybrid workplace after 12 noon! As parents, that means everything to us, and Baffin consistently makes us feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely happy to be there whether it's a family night out or a date night. The food trucks....they get some of the best!! The staff is ALWAYS friendly, patient, and accommodating, and the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of fun, relaxed, and community-driven with the allowance of dogs. It's refreshing to find a brewery that understands families can enjoy great craft beer and quality time together. Bring your board games! After experiencing less-than-welcoming environments elsewhere (even as mug club members $$$$), Baffin has become the place we look forward to returning to again and again. They welcomed us with open arms after a bad experience. It's not just a brewery, it's a space that truly values its patrons and the community it serves. We're so grateful to have a place like this in our neighborhood and my family and pups appreciate the entire staff! Highly recommend.

Secondly, the beer was exceptional... their red ale, "Mickey Redmond" was probably one of my favorites of all time. Lastly, and equally as important, the clientele was great! I help a conversation with every single person who sat near me at the bar. Some breweries are more stuffy and nobody wants to talk - this place was the complete opposite. I love it. I just wish they weren't 2 hours away from home. Thanks for the great experience.
