Royal City Brewing Co. FAQs

What’s in the bottle and where to find it

Where can I find your beer?

Royal City beer is available at select LCBO, grocery and convenience stores across Ontario, on tap at bars and restaurants, and at regional farmers’ markets. Check our LCBO & Grocery page for current listings and store availability. If your local store does not carry Royal City beer, ask the Beer Ambassador or store manager to request it.

Is your beer gluten-free?

No. Because of our brewing ingredients and shared production space, we are not able to produce gluten-free beer at this time.

Do you have any non-alcoholic options?

Yes! We offer rotating non-alcoholic beer options as well as Royal City Sodas, our line of pops and sparkling waters. See the current non-alcoholic lineup.

Which Royal City Brewing beers are at the LCBO?

Exhibition Session IPA, Smoked Honey and Bootleg Cream Ale are currently listed at LCBO locations across Ontario. Check lcbo.com for current availability at your nearest store or to order for pickup.

Visiting the Brewery

I’m thinking of visiting the brewery for the first time — what can I expect?

Welcome! The Beer Hall and outdoor Beer Garden are open daily. Beer Hall hours are Monday to Thursday, 3 p.m.–10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m. The Beer Garden opens weather permitting.

View our food menu and upcoming events. You can also order beer online for delivery or pickup, or visit the Bottle Shop, open daily at 11 a.m.

Are you pet-friendly?

Yes — with a few important limits. Because we have a full kitchen, dogs are not permitted indoors, except for service animals. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor Beer Garden when it is open, weather permitting.

Dogs must remain leashed, friendly and under control at all times. Please keep your dog close so every guest can enjoy the space comfortably.

Are you filling growlers?

We are not currently filling or selling growlers. If you have empty Royal City Brewing growler glassware, bring it to the brewery and we can apply its return credit toward cans to go.

Ordering & Events

Are you currently delivering beer?

Yes! We offer free local delivery across Guelph and more than 20 Southern Ontario communities. A person who is 19 years of age or older with valid ID must be available to receive every alcohol delivery. See our delivery areas, days and order cutoffs.
