Collingwood is surely the Craft Brewery capital of Grey-Bruce-Simcoe. Four breweries supply the town with a diverse cross-section of the craft beer world. They understand full well that beer is good, but craft beer is better. From lagers and pilsners to sours and goses, you’ll be able to find nearly any kind of beer you could possibly hope to drink.

At the forefront of this fledgeling beer scene, is Black Bellows. With a brand-spankin’ new spot that includes restaurant, bottle shop, and two patios, it’s also a place they’re brewing the following three brewskies.
