Oast House Brewers: Country Bumpkin Spiced Harvest Ale

Using roasted pumpkin, butternut, acorn, and hubbard squash flavours sourced locally from Howells Pumpkin Farm, this sweet and nutty fall ale tastes like a traditional pumpkin pie with a crisp and dry finish. Enjoy this one out on the patio under the twinkle lights!

Niagara Region: Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to visit for fewer crowds?

Weekday mornings outside peak summer and holiday weekends are typically quieter. Shoulder seasons (late spring and early fall) balance weather and crowd levels.

Do I need a passport to cross the border for viewpoints?

Crossing between Canada and the United States requires valid travel documents. Many experiences stay on one side—check your itinerary before you go.

Are the trails and gorge viewpoints family-friendly?

Many paths are accessible with proper footwear, but some gorge routes include stairs and uneven stone. Review trail notes and posted advisories before heading out.
