We are currently an orange zone, and as we move into another season of quarantining, we want to let you know a little more about our process here at Royal City Brewing as well as how you can safely enjoy our brews! We are currently still open for draft pours, but with a limit of 4 guests per seating. No reservations needed, but you will be required to leave contact details for tracing purposes.... If you visit us in The Ward Room, even just for to-go purchases, you must be wearing a mask, utilize the hand sanitizer provided and only enter the store one person at a time. For faster pick up, order online for Local Pickup! We are also providing delivery of all our products across the province with free delivery in certain local spots. You can browse all our products and check out delivery options on our online store. We will be screening customers before entrance into the store, but we ask that you also self-screen before making the trip to The Ward Room.

As we head into another busy holiday season filled with gift-giving, virtual visits from friends & family and all things merry, we want to bring this message back to your feed. Black Lives Matter. As you scroll for gift ideas for loved ones, keep in mind that there are so many important charities raising money for community members who need it most. For instance, @guelphblackheritage is currently raising funds for Change Starts Now, which will provide educational programmi...ng on Black History and culture as well as relevant resources on diversity, discrimination and anti-racism. For more information on Guelph Black Heritage Society and their #ChangeStartsNow initiative, click the link in our bio or visit their website. Not only is there is more work to be done by us, our fellow Ontario Craft Brewers and the world when it comes to justice for our Black Community members, but it’s important to remember that this kind of work should not be put on hold as we get distracted by other things. It should not be so easy to forget the realities faced by those who have lost loved ones to police brutality, who are battling for their freedom and rights or are in fear of their lives because of the colour of their skin. It’s not time to slow down or take a break, Black Lives Matter always!

The real November weather looks like it’s finally here to stay. So why not embrace it and cozy up with our new Pom Pom Toque and a can of 100 Steps Stout! Available online for FREE same day delivery in Guelph and delivery across the province! Click the link in our bio for details.

Here’s a little note on our new Holiday Brew, SNOWED IN from our lovable Head Brewer, Matt (@mash_todon): Fruited Kettle Sours aren't going anywhere, you may have noticed that. For one of this year's holiday releases I wanted something tart and zippy to offset the laughable amounts of heavy sweets we will all be eating and drinking. Cranberries just make sense. I halted the souring of this beer earlier than is usual to allow the cranberries to do the bulk of THE TARTENING! Frozen cranberries went into the boil and lots of pure cranberry juice was added to the fermentor, but it is not overdone, cause that's just not my style. Now, on an unrelated note I must go write a script for a horror movie entitled, THE TARTENING! To pre-order your Holiday Gift Pack including this lip-puckering brew, click the link in our bio!
