The staff (sorry I forgot the name of the guy who gave us the tour) was very knowledgeable and friendly. We also got to sample all of their beers (6) and the soft drinks they also make. Great tour and Great beverages! Totally recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and tour at Kichesippi Beer Co.' Never being in a brewery of any kind before, we had no expectations as to what would transpire. We we greeted the second we walked into their front shop !!! The staff was friendly and courteous. Our tour guide was the same, as well as very knowledgable about the brewery operations. Finding the procedures quite interesting and tasting the different products truly enlightened us........ Beer is not just beer !!!...... We highly recommend checking this place out !!!

About Kichesippi Beer Co.

Kichesippi Beer Co. takes its name from the Ottawa River, or, at least, what the Ottawa River used to be called. Before a city grew up along its shores, the waterway was known as Kichesippi, meaning Grand River. It's a deep cut of local trivia, but the brewers at Kichesippi Beer Co. love all things local. They ferment beverages such as their signature Natural Blonde pale ale locally. They deliver their drinks only to local bars, stores, and venues. They even craft a series of IPAs in international styles, putting a little local Ottawa twist on them.

Their beverage portfolio includes more than beers, as well. They also make and bottle Harvey and Vern's sodas, sugary beverages made in an old-fashioned style. They make a creamy, frothy root beer, for instance, infused with the flavor of yucca, which adds a little wintergreen bite to balance the sweetness of pure cane sugar that make up the rest of the drink.
