FAQ - We don’t have all the answers, but we have some...

TAPROOM

DO YOU SERVE FOOD?

We do not serve food, however, you are more than welcome to bring your own! There are plenty of restaurants in town and a butcher shop right next door that offers made to order sandwiches. We host weekly food trucks in the warmer weather!

DO YOU SERVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN BEER?

We do! We serve our very own selection of Vodka Sodas as well as Bulwark Original cider and a variety of Jost Vineyards canned wines. We also have many non-alcoholic options like our Nomad Non-Alcoholic beer, Benjamin Bridge Non-Alcoholic wine, Goodmore Kombucha, Propeller Craft Sodas, and Bubly sparkling water. Check out What's On Tap! 

DO YOU HAVE EVENTS OR MUSIC?

Yes! We host live music every Friday. We also often have Trivia Nights and Pop-Up shops. For a full list of events at the brewery, check out our Hours & Events page or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

CAN I BRING MY CHILD

Yes, children are more than welcome!

CAN I BRING MY DOG?

Yes, leashed dogs are welcome in our tasting room and patio! We do however have our own resident brewery cat, Kitty Clyde, who is friendly and good with other animals.

DO YOU HAVE WI-FI?

Yes, we have wifi.

DO YOU TAKE RESERVATIONS? 

Because our taproom is cozy, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. All seating is casual, all service is at the bar. May through September is our peak season, so we don't offer anything for large groups at that time. We’ll always do our best to make room for you. Calling ahead to let us know you'll be joining us with a large group is always appreciated!

If you’re planning a special occasion, we can sometimes accommodate private space rentals after hours (birthday bashes, rehearsal parties, or your cousin’s oddly competitive board game night). Please reach out to Taproom Manager Kirsten at kdunn@tatabrew.com to chat about options and pricing. 

DO YOU OFFER TOURS?

While we don’t have a regular public tour program, we do offer select private tours for groups of 5 or more on weekends. Please reach out to Taproom Manager Kirsten at kdunn@tatabrew.com for more information.

That said, depending on the time of day, one of our wonderful staff members may be able to do a small guided tasting with your group and an explanation of the brewing process. We are an open concept brewery so you can see some equipment from the Taproom.

SHIPPING

HAVE THE FREE SHIPPING MINIMUMS CHANGED?

Yes, as of February 15th, 2025 our minimum spend for free shipping has changed to $150 for Maritime orders and $175 for the rest of Canada. Like many businesses, we're facing rising costs for shipping materials and freight charges, and this adjustment helps us continue to deliver the same great service and quality you've come to expect from us!

CAN I GET A TATA BREW PACKAGE SHIPPED TO ME?

You must be of legal drinking age to order and receive our beer in Canada. Canada Post requires a signature and ID for everyone picking up/receiving their Tata Brew Beer Order. *This does not apply to merchandise.

The rules and regulations in Canada are constantly changing and ultimately the responsibility lies with the consumer to make sure they are legally allowed to import our products in their jurisdiction. If you reside in a province where importing alcohol from other provinces is restricted, you will not be able to order from us.

We ship merchandise worldwide. We are now shipping beer to all Canadian Provinces, unfortunately we do not ship to Nunavut, Yukon or Northwest Territories.

WHEN CAN I EXPECT MY BEER?

If you live in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island or New Brunswick with service from MBW Courier, beer ordered will be shipped within 2 business days via MBW. Supply a phone number if you would like to be called in advance with notice of delivery. 

All other packages are shipped through Canada Post, where you will receive a tracking number when your package has been shipped. We will take the liberty of delaying delivery during extreme weather conditions, during this time we ask for your patience.

HOW DOES DELIVERY WORK?

When your package is shipped out, you will receive an email with your tracking information. By law, on the day of delivery, please ensure you have the required ID for proof of age. ID must match the person who placed the order.

We strongly suggest getting your package delivered to your daytime address. Refrigerate, then enjoy!

MUST BE A MULTIPLE OF 12 CANS PER ORDER OR 6 BOTTLES. FEEL FREE TO MIX AND MATCH! Cans, bottles and merchandise are all packaged separately, so if you order all 3, expect 3 packages! We use specific packaging for bottles (box + inserts) and specific packaging for cans (reinforced box).

DOES THE PRICE OF THE PACKAGE INCLUDE SHIPPING?

Yes! The base shipping cost is included in the package price, however additional shipping surcharges may apply to certain areas and rural locations. These surcharges are based on your postal code and if applicable, will be displayed at checkout, before you have finalized your order.

RETURNS

WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET AN OFF BOTTLE OR CAN?

We apologize in advance if this occurs. If you do get an off bottle or can as part of your package, let us know within 30 days of delivery by contacting onlineorders@tatabrew.com, or (902) 657-4000 and we will resolve the issue.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY BEER ARRIVES DAMAGED?

Our VinPak Shipper inserts and boxes rarely allow for a broken bottle or busted can. However, now and then due to shipping or weather, bottles and cans do arrive damaged. Should your shipment arrive in pieces, please email the beer’s details and a photo of the broken bottle to us onlineorders@tatabrew.com, within 30 days of receiving your shipment, we will happily work out a solution with you.

OTHER

ARE YOUR BEERS VEGAN?

All of our beers are vegan friendly.

DO YOU PRODUCE A GLUTEN FREE BEER?

None of our beers are gluten free. There are a growing number of breweries who offer tasty gluten free or reduced gluten options, but our current production does not include any such varieties.

WHO DESIGNS YOUR LOGO, LABELS AND PACKAGING?

All of our packaging is designed by Eric Miller.

ARE YOU CERTIFIED ORGANIC?

We were certified organic for 9 years but made the challenging decision in 2023 to no longer certify. We are committed to our same award-winning products, using premium ingredients, and exercising the best practices learned during our 9 years of certification. We are also pleased to be able to focus on more local ingredients going forward. Please email info@tatabrew.com if you have any questions.

DO YOU SELL GROWLERS?

Not anymore! On June 1st, 2025 we discontinued our Growler Program. Growler owners are encouraged to bring back empty growlers ASAP to get their $5 in-store credit per bottle. 

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR MASH (SPENT GRAINS)?

Our mash goes to the Fraser Farm in Bayhead. They pick it up and then give it to their cows for a meal. The cows come running when they bring the spent grains.
