Black Swan offered a nice selection of beer and a small food menu. We ordered peanuts to go with our beer. The beer is definitely the star of the show here. You can order a flight with 4 or 5 beers and they are clearly marked on the flight. The service was good and staff were friendly. We enjoy sitting for about an hour and took a six pack to go. There was a study stream of people buying beer to go. We did not realize there was a strike which was causing shortages of beer and alcohol in stores.

Drinking beer at the bar- table while he keeps you company and keep offering you samples( without anything in return) makes you experience pleasure. Now the beer: IPAs are great. I loved Hopposites Attract the most, there was an charity beer, the earning from which 100% goes families with cancer kids, i loved the idea, that with the right intentions, one can help the society by any means! Be it the beer. Sunkiss is their regular IPA it was citrus and refreshing. For snacks are usual but very cheap, not a rip-off! So the overall experience is excellent. Coming back here soon!!!!!

There is an outside patio, and a large open interior space - definitely a bit of a biergarden feel to it. You go to the bar to order your food and drinks, and tell the server where you are sitting. They then bring the food out to you. Let's talk about the food! More specifically, let's talk about the poutine! I'm not Canadian, but I have had poutine before - and theirs might be the best I have ever had. The gravy was amazing, you could tell they add beer when they are making it. I also tried their regular cheeseburger - cooked perfectly, juicy, and delicious. If I hadn't had the poutine, I'd give it high marks for the burger alone. Don't sleep on this place, it's great. Now, I don't consume alcohol, so I can't comment on the quality of their beer - but my work colleague said it was very good. I did try their vanilla soda - and it was really good. High marks all around!

I was a regular at Block 3 when I lived in Waterloo. Well, if I'm honest, I was there all the time…read moreand they should have charged me rent. You might think beer was my primary motivation, and in the beginning it was. Block 3 is a small batch craft brewery that delivers on tasty beer. They generally have ten to twelve beers on tap ranging from lagers, ales, sours and sometimes a stout. They are all delicious in their own right although drinking barrel aged fruited sours is an acquired taste in my book, but trust me try them and you may learn to love them. But why else should you go? There is limited food (it's a brewery not a restaurant), no TV's to watch the game, a steady stream of classic rock playing in the background, kids running around and a few dogs to greet you on the way in. To make matters worse the cell reception is awful, my wife always had a hard time reaching me. Hmm, maybe that's not all bad... What kind of place is this, anyway? It's a modern twist on an old fashioned FAMILY oriented brewery, that's what! There are plenty of board games to play, the local regulars are always happy to share some stories, and the staff are the coolest people around. They have a great Mug Club and if you are lucky you get your own hand-thrown pottery mug with your name on it! Very cool... As I mentioned in one of my check-ins, Block 3 is a benchmark craft brewery experience. I can't recommend this place highly enough,

Hats, tee-shirts, and other goodies. There's plenty of space for tables and seating, if only COVID wasn't running the show. One of these days, lockdowns will be over, and we will all be discovering what the "new normal" looks like. That time is unfortunately not yet now, but we'll get there once everyone is vaccinated. The owner/operator doing his shift the day we were there was friendly and helpful; he even guided us over the phone when we got lost looking for the place (the street is horse-shoe shaped and we were at the wrong end). And best of all, the beer was good!

Four of us shared one of the $15 wood fired pizzas. We each had 2 slices. Thin crust, tasty and just right for a snack. Thumbs up for that! I wish we could be as positive about the beers. One of our group had the wheat beer that was brewed on site and liked it. Two of us shared a flight that included a stout, amber ale, kombucha and cider. I honestly can't recall which were brewed by Jobsite, but I think the amber and stout were. Neither was great. The amber was too bitter for my taste. The kombucha was just plain nasty. We all agreed, even the person who brews for a hobby said she's had much better kombucha at her beer club. The cider was the clear winner, but it was rather tasteless. It needed more fruit or something. So, while it's good to have an alternative to Black Swan in town, I hope the brewers here get better product soon. I'd go back for the pizza, but not for the beer.

I had only two since I was driving, and they were enjoyable. They do not serve any food, just beer. It might be a good idea to grab a bite before coming here, or pick up their brews to go.
