Neustadt Springs Brewery

456 Jacob Street, Neustadt, ON N0G 2M0

neustadtsprings.com

Family-owned brewery built over an artesian spring in 1859 and reputed to be the oldest operating original brewery building in Ontario. The brewery added a distillery operation in 2024, producing vodka, gin, and several moonshine variants — these spirits and the brewery's two 'Bootlegger Bubbly' moonshine seltzers are not included below because they are distilled spirit products, not beer. The 'Citrus Sparkling Water' on the same page is also excluded as a non-hop product. Coordinates are approximate to Neustadt village centre — recommend re-geocoding 456 Jacob Street on ingest. Note: an earlier Bruce Peninsula tourism source lists '45 Jacob Street'; the official site address '456 Jacob Street' takes precedence.
