In February, 2013, the first annual award-winning WinterBrewed festival and official Winterlude partner, enterained nearly 12,000 visitors. As festival-goers, our fans braved freezing temperatures (sometimes as cold as thirty below) with smiles on their rosy cheeks to celebrate local and visiting craft breweries in true Ottawa style.
WinterBrewed 2014 continues to improve the festival experience by producing an event responding to the suggestions of last year's attendees and breweries alike. We've improved and streamlined festival access, shortened wait times, and focused on increasing attendee comfort and warmth, providing better conditions for beer service (no slushy beer…unless it's meant to be served that way), while continuing to give craft beer fans an opportunity to discover great Ottawa and Ontario beer with a winter flair. Join us in celebrating Winterlude and great craft beer in the Nation’s Capital on Family Day long weekend!
