Half Pints Brewing - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Really awesome spot. Underrated beers, great variety, super friendly and knowledgeable brewman. Hidden gem.

As the Grand Ole Opry is to Country, so Half Pints is to Craft Beer in Winnipeg. You need to go. If you're lucky, founder David Rudge will be pouring. Introduce yourself and ask about any one-of brews hiding behind the bar. Keep an eye out for Ludicrous and Old ... Red Barn. If not, the flagship pours are all worthy. Try to grab a seat in the corner by the beer library (books not brews!) It's a comfortable spot to meet friends or unwind on your own. Read more

Lovely beer, lovely staff. The establishment has a pleasant atmosphere and they have a variety of craft beers to try. My personal favorites are Bikey Mcbikeface and the Stir Stick Stout.

Excellent tap room. Small and comfortable with all their regular beers on tap (obviously). Had their seasonal wheat beer which was delicious! Would have liked to see more snacks (chips and salsa? LBJ does it). Will definitely return though. Lots of dedicated bike lanes so if you’re on a bike ... it’s easy to get to. Lots of bike racks outside the tap room which was a nice touch. Read more

Long standing local brewery. I love the ambience of the tap room, and they do have a decent number of beers on tap. My one disappointment is that not everything is available in taster size, which also means not everything is available in a flight. I was not even able ... to get a small sample of one tap to determine if I wanted to purchase a growler. When I asked I was told it was a hopped lager so the smallest size she could pour was 10oz.
