Experience the Art of Fresh Beer and Good Food
At Blue Elephant, we're passionate about crafting exceptional beers and serving delicious food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Our story began in 1992, when we first opened our doors in Simcoe, Ontario, with a commitment to using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients in our kitchen and brewery. Over the years, we've evolved to become a beloved local landmark, and in 2012, we took our passion for craft brewing to the next level by opening our microbrewery, Norfolk's first-and-only "Tied House" (Pub + Microbrewery).
Our Craft Beers
Our beers are brewed in small batches, with no additives or preservatives, using local organic ingredients. We offer a diverse range of styles, from our flagship Gentlemens Pilsner to our Outlawger Pale Lager, and seasonal favorites like our Summer Harvest Strawberry Lager. Whether you're a beer connoisseur or just looking for a refreshing pint, we've got something for everyone.
Good Food, Made Fresh
Our menu features delicious home-style favorites, Thai delights, and pub fare, all made with farm-fresh ingredients. From appetizers to sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and pasta, we've got something to satisfy every appetite. We're proud to source many of our ingredients from local farmers, ensuring that our dishes are not only delicious but also sustainable.
