Our menu and beverage options are carefully designed to treat you and your belly very well. We are one location, locally owned and operated. Our menu offerings are made on site, using fresh and local ingredients. All Northwinds beer is produced on-site in small batches to ensure your beer is ultra-fresh. We also support other great local breweries, wineries, cideries, distilleries and other Ontario beverage companies. We are an extremely fun environment that takes food, beer and customer service very seriously. We opened our doors on Wednesday, August 6th, 2014. It was incredible to finally host community members who had watched us build-out our space for 8 months prior. The time and effort that went into constructing a micro, yet still commercial, brewery and full restaurant from a concrete slab and four walls is a feat. Customers embraced our eclectic local beer menu and farm-to-table dishes beyond what we had hoped. We were new, different and easily deniable to long-term ‘generic’ beer drinkers or anyone generally that didn’t have an open mind. Fortunately, the life that beats in this great four-season kick ass town appreciates new ideas, creativity, freshness, supporting local business and above all – taste, so we’re doing well fitting in. We love this community, this region and the abundance that there is to enjoy outdoors. ## What they brew - Other — 25% of the beers we track - Pale Ale — 20% of the beers we track - IPA — 19% of the beers we track - Stout / Porter — 12% of the beers we track - Pale Lager — 10% of the beers we track - Belgian Ale — 8% of the beers we track - Brown Ale — 6% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: 499 First Street, Collingwood, Ontario, Canada - Coordinates: 44.5017322, -80.2318981 - Website: http://northwindsbrewery.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [Endswell Beer](https://finding.beer/brewery/endswell-beer-35371.md) — 3.89, Fine — Collingwood, Ontario — 0.1 mi away - [Black Bellows Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/black-bellows-brewing-8712.md) — 3.80, Fine — Collingwood, Ontario — 0.8 mi away - [Side Launch Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/side-launch-brewing-5490.md) — 3.83, Fine — Collingwood, Ontario — 0.8 mi away - [The Collingwood Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/the-collingwood-brewery-8625.md) — 3.73, Fine — Collingwood, Ontario — 2.5 mi away - [Wasaga Beach Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/wasaga-beach-brewing-6018.md) — 2.62, Limited — Wasaga Beach, Ontario — 11 mi away - [Creemore Springs](https://finding.beer/brewery/creemore-springs-5579.md) — 3.02, Limited — Creemore, Ontario — 14 mi away - [Lovebird Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/lovebird-brewing-28946.md) — 3.87, Fine — Meaford, Ontario — 19 mi away - [Midland Beer Works](https://finding.beer/brewery/midland-beer-works-8714.md) — 2.45, Limited — Ontario — 24 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in Ontario](https://finding.beer/breweries/canada/ontario.md) - [Best breweries in Canada](https://finding.beer/breweries/canada.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
