Koontz Lake Brewing Co. - Walkerton

Came down for their Oktoberfest event. I tried two (of five) beers they had available, Oktoberfest and the amber wheat. The Oktoberfest is pretty much what you would expect, but the amber wheat was smooth and subtle. Of the two, I'd recommend the amber wheat if you want something to enjoy slowly.

Let me first start off by saying the service was great! Everything we ordered came out very quick, yet we now know why. It was my first time back since they reopened doors, and let me just say...YUCK. We started with a pretzel and spinach and artichoke dip, the pretzel being so deep fried that there was hardly any bread left inside, and the spinach and artichoke dip being so cold you'd thought it come straight from the fridge served with the bottom of the bag tostitos on the side. Moving past that we expected for our entrees to be a little better. Wrong. I was halfway through my chicken tender when I looked down and it was COMPLETELY RAW. They took my chicken and two drinks off the bill, but safe to say I will never return. Very sad. Check the chicken before consuming!

It’s nice to have a place in that area for decent food. I wouldn’t go out of my way for the beer. It’s okay.

Great brewery and even short-handed we still got excellent service and food.

We unfortunately did not get the pleasure to dine here. As a warning to parents, this place does NOT allow under 21, even if you have kids with parents. They are allowed outside to dine, but that doesn't work well in the cold or rain. Hopefully we can go back on a warmer day.
