Cowbell Brewing

From the launch of their first beer and through the construction of the massive brewery shaped like a barn at the corner of County Roads 4 and 25, Cowbell Brewing set out to shake things up in the craft brewing industry and they have done just that.

Cowbell Brewing Co. opened its doors back in the summer of 2017 and had barely got their feet under them when a worldwide pandemic rocked the world. The restaurant and brewery, or “the farm” as the staff lovingly refer to it, weathered the storm.

Once again, guests can experience the full experience with tours that highlight the grand old barn architecture, state-of-the-art brewing and packaging facility, family-friendly restaurant, brewhouse bar, and fully-equipped games room.

When visiting, try to take time to call in advance and book a private tour. The story behind the building and the attention to the smallest details during the construction process is fascinating. The entire company’s commitment to sustainability and minimizing its environmental impact is reflected throughout the brewing process, and is even more engaging with their knowledgeable and entertaining guides.

The menu has evolved over the years and has developed into a fare of moderately priced pub food with an eye to pairing the food menu with the beverage menu. The bar menu focuses on what Cowbell does best - craft beer, seltzers and ciders. In fact, the best part of this stop might be the curated flights of four six-ounce glasses of beer for $10.

While the farm is a destination for many in the summer, including arriving in style by helicopter, Cowbell is ramping up the winter events schedule. The plan is to begin to use the beautiful space more in the shoulder seasons, and Cowbell is hoping to showcase local bands. The company already partners with many local organizations, and it is also looking to ramp up those partnerships. The games room is a beautiful space and available for group rentals for anything from a business meeting to an intimate bespoke wedding.

In the shoulder seasons, reservations are available online or by phone, but in the height of the summer season all tables are first-come first-serve, in order to accommodate as many guests as possible.

The gift shop carries a full line of Cowbell-themed merchandise, because, really, who doesn’t need more Cowbell?! In addition to the usual shirts, hoodies, mugs and actual cowbells, the shop carries some beautiful commissioned prints of the Cowbell farm and the Blyth Memorial Hall by a local artist. The inventory changes regularly, so stop in at your next visit to see what’s new.

Right now, the big mover is the Winter Mixer Pack - a six pack of your favourite flavours: Hazy Days, Absent Landlord, Cencerro Cerveza, Smooth Sailing, Chocolate Mint Stout and Citrus IPA. www.cowbellbrewing.com 40035 Blyth Rd, Blyth
