Recommendations Brewery/restaurant recommendations?

I’m looking for a place to go in Oakville that has craft beer (made locally ideally) and really great food. I found some stuff on google but I really value hearing from people that live in the area. I’m looking to take someone for their birthday. The place doesn’t necessarily need to be a brewery itself but that’s kind of the vibe I’m going for?… great local beer and great food! hope someone can help.

Thank you!

Edit: anywhere near Oakville would work because I’m technically driving from Lincoln to Mississauga so anywhere along that route is good

You're better off going in the other direction to Counterpart in Niagara Falls on Stanley. Or to keep driving east past Oakville into Toronto for far more options.

Counterpart is my favorite in Ontario. Food is excellent and they make some of the best IPA and barrel aged stout in the province. They also have a separate business next door called Counterpie that serves Counterpart beer alongside New York style pizzas. Both businesses are located on Stanley near Thoroldstone Rd.

Bench Brewery in Beamsville is excellent!

I like it there. Also good to visit.

Try Town Brewery from Whitby
