Book NowAbout Molly Rose Brewery
Molly Rose pairs fresh, inventive craft beer with full-blown restaurant dining right in the heart of Collingwood. Forget standard taproom afterthought fare. The kitchen turns out Asian-inspired plates—think fresh oysters, watermelon tartare, and spring rolls alongside charred steaks. Beer purists skip the generic flight board for the guided tasting, where the crew serves six distinct pours directly to your table, one glass at a time, sometimes pulling batches kegged that very afternoon. Cocktails, local wines, and non-beer pours keep mixed groups covered across the dining hall, front taproom, and beer garden, even on chilly winter nights with your coat kept on.
- Elevated Dining Program: Asian-inspired dishes like watermelon tartare, spring rolls, and fresh oysters replace typical taproom bar snacks.
- Staff-Guided Tastings: A paced six-beer course brought straight to your seat with brewer storytelling instead of a standard paddle.
- Mixed-Crowd Drink List: Curated wines, cocktails, and house pours ensure non-beer drinkers in the crew are equally well looked after.
- Versatile Multi-Space Venue: Features a dining hall, cozy taproom, and sheltered beer garden suited for group gatherings or quiet sessions.

Why diners choose Molly Rose Brewery for craft beer, restaurant-quality dining, and inclusive gatherings
Restaurant-Grade Dining Over Pub Afterthoughts
Dishes are prepared with genuine culinary focus rather than taproom shortcuts, pairing seamlessly with house-brewed beers.
Unlike other big-name breweries that feel more like soulless family restaurants or just treat food as an afterthought, this place actually gets it right.

Ian Gay Attentive Multi-Course Beer Flights
Rather than dropping a static board of flights, staff actively monitor drinking pace and provide sequential insights on each brew.
They bring me beers to my seat one by one with little explanation, I guessed it’s a lot more work than doing a tasting paddle because they have to keep watching my drinking pace.
