Read MoreOur brewery sits at the back of a century-old building that was originally built to house a heavy machinery garage, then to be occupied by a printing press before being transformed into a brewing facility. The space houses a 15bbl brewing system that produces roughly 1850 litre batches at a time, with a couple of tanks that occupy closer to 3700 litres of beer. Our lagers and ales ferment and age anywhere between three and eight weeks on average, in both vertical and horizontal stainless-steel vessels. Some of our rare specialty ales spend several months and even years in second-use barrels with wild microorganisms to create complex and intricate flavours.

What types of beer to you brew?
At Tooth and Nail we brew a wide variety of styles (and non-styles). We are inspired by both tradition and innovation, and always try to put an uncompromising stamp of quality on our products. We generally don’t adhere to the latest trend, but rather provide beers of depth, balance, and high quaffability.
What does the name Tooth and Nail mean?
Tooth and Nail is an homage to the earliest craft breweries in North America who at the time, were going up against “The Big Three” breweries of the era. Breweries like Boston Beer, Anchor, and Sierra Nevada (to name a few) had to fight “Tooth and Nail” just to get their beer on a liquor store shelf or on a bar’s tap. Without their vision and integrity, the craft beer scene wouldn’t be what it is today.
Where can I get your beer?
Our beer is available fresh on draught at our brewpub, is available to take home from our retail store, and is available at select bars and restaurants from Ottawa to London. Vim and Vigor is now available at Ottawa LCBO’s with future plans to distribute throughout Ontario.
I love “x” beer, but it’s not available at the moment. When will it be back?
As Tooth and Nail was primarily built to service the brewpub, we have had many brands over the years, all of which wouldn’t have been released if we weren’t proud of them. That said, we have a finite brewing space and cannot possibly make everything available all of the time. Our suggestion is that if you really like something, enjoy it while it’s around!
Do you take reservations for the brewpub?
We do not. First come, first served. If you are planning on coming by with a larger group, please feel free to call 613 695 4677 in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you!

Our products are canned and bottled in-house using our own canning and bottling machines. Crafted with care and packaged without compromise, we keep our beer cold and sell it fresh. While we do our best to keep several styles available, shortages do occur and brands do rotate and evolve. While some of our specialty products may change and develop in flavour over time, the vast majority of our beer is brewed to be consumed as fresh as possible.
Our beer is currently available for purchase through the following methods:
Come visit us! Our retail store is located inside the brewpub at 3 Irving Avenue in the heart of Hintonburg, Ottawa’s greatest neighbouhood.
Order from the comfort of home! Place your order online and simply come by the brewery store to pick up your pre-paid case of beer.
Have your order shipped across the province! We offer Ontario-Wide shipping for those out-of-towners who can’t do without our delicious brews. Orders ship out by courier Monday-Thursday and generally arrive within 1-2 business days depending on your location.
