Tourism Winnipeg

Culinary To say Winnipeg's food scene is incredibly diverse would be a bit of an understatement. We are a multicultural city where over 100 languages are spoken, with so many nationalities bringing their cuisine to Winnipeg's restaurant scene. To provide a complete picture of all the worldly deliciousness to be had, we'd have to write a novel, so for this fall/winter guide we are going to focus on some recent trends and the best food that will bring your belly joy as the temperature begins to chill. (And on that first note, please check out our culinary website, pegcitygrub.com, where you can browse through reviews, news, and stories about the restaurants, chefs, and events that make this city so tasty, along with the EAT section of our Tourism Winnipeg website.) FANTASTIC NEW BREWERIES AND WHERE TO FIND THEM Surely one the biggest stories of the last year would be the continued growth of Winnipeg's craft beer scene. Joining the local brewpub brigade were Brazen Hall (800 Pembina Highway) and One Great City Brewing Co. (1596 Ness Avenue) – both of which have been very busy since they opened, while Peg Beer Co., which opened back in 2016, continues to serve up interesting beers along with a locally focused menu. On the strictly beer side of things, Torque Brewing Co. (830 King Edward Street, also the largest new brewery in the city) and Barn Hammer Brewing (595 Wall Street) have made waves with their diverse range of beers, while Little Brown Jug (336 William Avenue) has found itself on seemingly every tap in the city (including their own gorgeous tap room) with their lone, simply delicious traditional 1919 Belgian Pale Ale. Coming soon – and most likely now open at the time of this reading – is Nonsuch Brewing Co. (location TBA), Stone Angel Brewing Co. (1875 Pembina Highway), Oxus Brewing Company (1180 Sanford Street), and Trans Canada Brewing Co. (1290 Kenaston Boulevard) – making it the perfect time to organize a craft beer crawl – which you can do through Winnipeg Tasting Tours, who host up to four tours a week throughout the fall/winter. If a brewery crawl is not on your agenda, then be sure to visit The Common inside The Forks Market, which most likely will have at least one offering from each Winnipeg brewery on tap. If this isn't reason enough to visit the newly revamped market, its food kiosks now provide easily the most-diverse (and delicious) range of culinary offerings in the city under one roof. 42 2017 FALL/WINTER EVENTS & ITINERARIES GUIDE WINNIPEG Food Hall at the Forks: Brian Gould
