Malty, aromatic beers. Belgian ales rank high on my list.
The Robert Simpson Brewing Company (now called Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery)
As you approach the front doors of this fine Craft Brewery you shall see the words: "In Heaven there is no beer, so drink one now while you are here." This was also the only caption on the inside of the original caps of the Robert Simpson Beer caps of the company by the same name. Now you never know what you will get when you pop one of their caps. They have a slew of sayings under each cap. We went for a tour of this spotlessly clean brewery in down town Barrie and had a short tasting of their fine products and all we can say is, please find time to visit.
Mike the brewer is a font of knowledge and Kaitlyn and Patty are always there to make sure you have a good visit and give you a small, (tiny) sip of their brew. Remember never drink and drive!
"Our small brewery is right on the waterfront in the heart of downtown Barrie — not in some bland industrial unit. We spend summers watching sailboats on the bay from the windows of our brewhouse; we watch the ice huts spring up in winter; and, when "the world is too much with us," it's a five minute drive to escape the light pollution and haze of Big-BoxMart-Depot-Land.
Visit us. Our tours give the full micro experience: the passion; the love; the squishy stuff in your shoes ... well, maybe not the shoe thing. But we guarantee you'll see all craft beers in a new light."
We are strong supporters of Ontario Craft Brewers. Ask for them at your local LCBO in Ontario or better yet, visit one or all of their breweries. You will be glad you did.
