THE MENU

1st Course

Tempura Soft Shell Crab
Red curry mousse, stone fruit salsa, furikake, tobiko
Light Hazy Pale Ale 4oz
With very low bitterness and alcohol this pale ale is the perfect introduction to the style. Light Hazy Pale Ale was finished with a generous dry-hop of Galaxy and Citra hops, resulting in bright flavours of citrus, passionfruit, and peach.

2nd Course

Australian Waygu Slider
Waygu striploin, housemade milk bun, fermented poblano pepper aioli, provolone, cucumber quickles
Oats & Honey: Anchovy 4oz
This IPA was dry-hopped exclusively with Anchovy hops. Modelled loosely after our Oats & Cream IPA, these beers are brewed with a touch of honey, in lieu of lactose. Expect a creamy, smooth mouthfeel and notes of lemon-lime and candied watermelon.

3rd Course

Charcoal Wild Boar Rack
Scarpinocc, eggplant, fontina cheese, watermelon radish, choron sauce, parmesan leaf
Bene Extra Hopped Italian Pilsner 8oz
Brewed in collaboration with Toronto's famous Bar Volo, this extra hopped Italian-style pilsner is a perfect marriage of malt crispiness and floral hop character. It's smooth and delicious.

4th Course

Amareno Cherry Tiramisu
Cheese Boutique mascarpone mousse, chocolate truffle, gold flakes
Double Chocolate Mousse Pastry Milk Stout 4oz
This stout combines a rich, sweet malt profile with bourbon barrel-aged depth, cacao, chocolate gelato mix, and marshmallow. Smooth and decadent, it’s perfect for the holiday season.

  • Founded in 2020 by Andrew Silver, Fine Balance Brewery has become a standout in Kingston’s craft beer scene. Located in the city’s east end, the brewery is built on a foundation of creativity, precision, and a deep respect for the craft of brewing. Andrew’s vision was to create a space where modern innovation and brewing traditions come together in harmony, resulting in a portfolio of beers that are as balanced as they are bold.

    From hazy New England-style IPAs bursting with flavor to crisp, refreshing German pilsners, Fine Balance Brewery showcases a range of styles that appeal to all tastes. Their 10-barrel brewhouse allows for continuous experimentation, leading to small-batch releases and unique creations alongside their signature brews.

    The brewery also serves as a community hub, hosting events like weekly run clubs, trivia nights, and bike meetups, and collaborating with local businesses to craft new flavors. Guests can enjoy a rotating selection of eight beers on tap in their welcoming taproom or take home cans and bottles from their retail shop.

    Andrew Silver and the Fine Balance team remain dedicated to delivering exceptional craft beer and fostering a connection with the Kingston community, one pour at a time.

  • Andrew is the founder and president of Fine Balance Brewing Company in Kingston, Ontario. Prior to entering into the brewing industry, Andrew worked as an academic, studying the intersections between work, life, and family. Fine Balance was created, in part, out of a desire to explore how beer and community exist in those interconnections.
