After the rolling success of The Clocktower Brew House, the brand went on to establish three other outlets where people of Ottawa can enjoy their innovative craft beers. While this one is put up at Byward Market, on Clarence, the other two lie in Westboro and New Edinburgh. Apart from their regular signatures such as Clocktower Red, Raspberry Wheat, Kolsch, Wishart's ESB and Bytown Brown, the place also serves seasonal ales. But beers are not the only thing that Clocktower Brew Pub does well - their renditions of classic American comfort food are also quite popular - except wings, burgers, fries, poutine and such here. If you visit during the season, try The Clocktower Pumpkin - comes highly recommended.
