I'm not much of a beer drinker, but my husband is. He loves craft beer and local breweries. So my brother often gets him beers from Whitewater Brewery for special occasions like Christmas. For at least the past few years they have a gift set called "The 12 Beers of Christmas." The beers have funny festive names and funky festive flavours. This past year, 2023, some of the beers in this set were "Cuddly as a Cactus" (Green Apple Sour), "Figgin' Christmas Cake" (Christmas Cake Honey Brown) and "Not My Gumdrop Buttons!" (Gingerbread English Ale). Even though I'm not a beer drinker, I do like trying these unusual flavours and having a tiny sip. My comment is usually "too hoppy" or "tastes too much like beer!" Haha. My husband likes the fun flavours but has noted that some of the notes are on the artificial side, and likes their "regular" beers better. They sell their beers online and offer free local delivery (The Ottawa Valley) or you can also pick up at their location in Cobden for free. They deliver to the rest of Ontario for a shipping fee too. Their beers are also available at the LCBO. The 12 Beers of Christmas set is regularly $68 but if you pre-order, you get the pre-order sale price of $54.40, which is what my brother did. It means my husband received his gift a bit early, but I'm proud of my brother for scoring a deal ;) (12) read more

We went for my birthday dinner with friends and had an awesome time. Food was very good and reasonably priced. Their craft beers are excellent Wait staff, an English fellow was the best. They had live music with two fellas and they were awesome as well. The whole night was great. We're definitely coming back!! read more

Beautiful building with nice interior design. Fun and friendly staff, good variety of menu items and beer. Nice array of options in the menu, lots of locally sourced items. That explains the slightly higher prices for "pub fare", especially in the small town of Cobden. That's my main reason for a 4 vs 5 star rating. I had the Rueben sandwich with added poutine. Sandwich was hearty and tasty on a fresh bun. Poutine was ok, nothing super awesome. My friend had the Chicken Fillets which looked nice and crunchy and she said they were tasty! I'll be back! read more

slow service, got bacon instead of sausage, beer was a bit sour, the farmers daughter. my summer salad was good, good portion for snack. got a snack size fries, but wasn't the usual Parmesan fries read more

First time that we stopped here, have driven by it lost and finally stopped! Beer is nice and cold! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I had the chicken pesto Sammie, my husband had the whitewater burger and our son had the chipotle burger! All we excellent! Should have stopped here earlier! read more

So I've never been to the first location but this place is BOMB! It's so unexpected for this area to have this great quality food and craft micro-brewed beer. The menu items are sourced mostly locally and range from Vindaloo curry to burgers to Arctic Char. They even have spicy duck wings. This spot is phenomenal!! I'm actually gonna miss being in the middle of no where Canada just because of this brew pub. They have a full bar including an inventive craft cocktail menu! DEFINITELY DEFINITELY make the trip out here or their other location. It's completely worth it. read more

Had lunch today at this great spot. They have some great craft beers, I had the Farmers Daughter and it was excellent. On Sunday they have a brunch menu. My friends had eggs beni and another one had the breakfast burger. I had lunch instead of fish and chips. The food was very good and the service was attentive, friendly and timely. I'm going to stop there again for sure. read more

The beer was so good. We tried eight of them and liked them all! Delicious food and great service! We'll be back!

Nothing bad to say about this place. Good beer. Yummy food with huge variety. Great value for money. The whole place is just fun to be sat in so a night out with mates or a family dinner would be great here. I had the vindaloo and loved it. The curry isn't very spicy by my standards and that probably works out better for me. read more

I was with three others for lunch. Two enjoyed their lunches ( fish and chips for one and souvlaki for the other). My spouse had the Mac and cheese and it was nothing special. I had the burger and it was the driest hamburger I have ever tasted in my life. Couldn't finish it. My spouse loves burgers and he tried a bite and said it was awful so it wasn't just me! The place was loud as it echoes so we found conversation difficult. I enjoyed the Farmers Daughter beer. I was so hoping that it would be a good experience as I have been hearing some good things about it but I'm afraid it was a huge disappointment. read more

This was a last minute decision to stop for food. We needed to be on a plane later that day, and staff were very helpful in expediting our order so we could be back on the road. The Duck Wings were exceptionally good. Beer (I am a craft beer fan) - was bright and clean-tasting. I only had time for a sampler - which the waiter supplied free of charge. Very highly recommended. Will plan more time to eat (and drink beer) next time! read more

Driving from Halifax to Vancouver we were running late for lunch. I typed in brewpub on the GPS and Whitewater showed up 6 km ahead on highway 17. The beer was the best we've had on the trip, we left with a 24 pack. The Whitewater burger was obviously made with fresh ingredients and a well seasoned patty. An elk patty would be something to consider too. The fries were fresh cut. The service was superb, we even bought a t-shirt. A highlight of our trip. read more

We showed up for a beer sampler which was great but were surprised by the food which was fantastic. Favourites were the Midnight Stout paired with a Whitewater burger. We'll definitely be back. read more

After 2 hours of waiting l, and when we were now late, we found out they hadn't even started our food yet. Couldn't get a drink. Kids went hungry. Had to eat at local gas station. Crap service. Really crap. Would never go back. read more
