Hammy knows what’s up: Party Season is coming!

Sure, it feels early… but our reso inbox says otherwise. The super-planners are already locking down their holiday parties at BTP (and Hammy doesn’t want you left out in the cold).

Our Veggie Dog is here to prove that plant-based dogs can still party! Served up in a pillowy brioche bun, it’s dressed to impress with tangy mustard, zippy pickles, and crunchy onions.

Perfect for when you want all the fun of a classic dog without barking up the meat tree.

BREAKING CAT-PAW NEWS

We were worried our top-tier mouser, Cici, was logging too many overtime hours, so we’ve brought in reinforcements…

Meet Hamilton (aka Hammy), our brand new Assistant to the Assistant Regional Manager of Mousing.

Ott. Craft Beer Week Puppy Patio Party is this Wednesday, Aug. 13th! Because nothing pairs better with beer than a patio full of adorable four-legged overlords.

We’ve got the sunshine, you bring the floofs. Oh & your Beer Passport, so you can collect the special stamp & be one step closer to prizes

Two breweries walked into a brewhouse… and hugged it out.

The result? Beyond the Hall, a Centretown Lager.
It’s 4.5% and so crushable you’ll wonder where your pint went. Dry-hopped with classy Euro hops, Saaz & Mittelfrüh before getting a zesty Kiwi hop hit of Rakau & Motueka.

On tap now!

Civic Holiday? We don’t take holidays from beer.

We’re open 11 AM ‘til late and pouring like it’s our job, well, mostly because it is.

The fridge is back in full glory with:
Clean Cut: Crisp Kolsch vibes
Pink Fuzz: Grapefruit gold
Cloud Town: Juicy IPA dreams

Sip here. Stock up. Repeat.

Day 6 of Bluesfest & the temperature’s rising. Sean Paul is bringing the heat tonight!

Whether you're out to get busy, shake that thing, or relive your early-2000s glory days. Beyond the Pale is the pre-party (and post-show cooldown) you need.
July 17, 2025 at 1:34 PM
Pour some sugar on Day five of Bluesfest. Def Leppard hits the stage!

Fuel up at BTP, just a short walk from LeBreton Flats. We’ve got pre-show pints, a festival-inspired menu, & extended hours so you can keep rocking.

250 City Centre. Minutes from the main stage, 0 minutes from a good time.
July 16, 2025 at 2:49 PM
Warning: Drinking Yummy! out of anything other than this glass may result in decreased satisfaction and a total vibe misalignment.

Available now in the taproom retail store and online, because your beer deserves the best.

Ottawa Bluesfest is back, and we’re just a short walk from the stage!

Make Beyond the Pale your go-to stop for pre-show pints, post-concert hangs, and a limited-time Bluesfest menu that’s built to fuel your summer nights.

We’re staying open late on select festival nights!

Our smooth & roasty Dark Lager is on special.
At just 3.8%, this brew brings flavour without the buzz. Crafted with German malts & noble hops, then finished with a hint of Midnight Wheat & Pale Chocolate, it’s crisp, clean, & has a subtle chocolatey finish that’ll keep you coming back for more.

The rain’s cleared up and the patio’s calling! Grab a seat, soak up the vibes, and cheer on the OTT City Run Club as they head out for their weekly run.⁠

Staff pick of the day? Aromatherapy IPA, perfectly paired with patio plants and sunny sips.⁠

What are you going to drink today?
July 8, 2025 at 3:16 PM
CRACK. FIZZ. AHHH.

Pink Fuzz is hitting all the right places today & bringing maximum summer energy.

We're talkin' juicy grapefruit, zesty citrus, & a cool, crisp finish that'll smack the thirst right outta your mouth!

Find it now at 250 City Centre or online.

Pop the top & let the fuzz flow

Aromatherapy.

Our fan-favourite Aromatherapy IPA is being packaged right now and will hit the fridges soon! Bursting with fresh-cut grass, citrus, and stone fruit, this 6.5% banger is dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic and brewed in the spirit of freshly canned Vermont IPAs.

That’s a wrap on nine unforgettable days at Ottawa Jazzfest!

A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the BTP tent, whether you were grabbing a cold one between sets, dancing in the sun, or just vibing with the music. You made it all worth it.

The BTP Taproom turns 8 years old this July 1st, and like any good 8-year-old, we’re loud, proud, and still growing like a weed.

It's Canada Day, so a few roads are closed, but OC Transpo is free all day, so hop on the O-Train and ride that sweet, sweet civic transit straight to our doorstep.
June 24, 2025 at 4:54 PM
All week long, we’ll be sharing snapshots of Jazzfest, the setup, the beers, & the lovely people we’ve met along the way.

Opening act Allison Russell was an amazing treat to watch, showcasing warmth & vulnerability, whilst the dynamic band made the park feel like an intimate space.
