  • Craft Beer Tasting Paddles

    Sample house brews side-by-side with tasting paddles across a broad selection of craft beers, wines, and ciders.

    We tried a beer paddle to taste a few different beers. The golden ale was my favourite.

  • Distinctive Drinks and Bites

    From specialty cocktails like the Hugo to a broad tap selection and shareable bites, drinks and food complement the brewery experience.

    I couldn't get enough of the Hugo cocktail – a delightful concoction that set the perfect tone for the evening.

  • Dedicated Family & Play Area

    Families can relax in dedicated brewery zones equipped with children's play equipment to keep kids entertained.

    Having a 4 year old with us we opted for the area with the play equipment. Great space with different areas.

  • Open Mondays When Others Are Closed

    Unlike other regional breweries that close early in the week, Sou'West opens on Mondays for easy casual visits.

    One of three breweries in the area, but the only one to open on a Monday.
