Congratulations to Decew Falls Brewing Co. on recently expanding and opening a new tap room on St. Paul Street West.
Rooted in a passion for family, sports, & great craft beer four friends came together to start up Decew Falls Brewing in 2017. In the beginning, the craft beer company introduced Morningstar Cream Ale to Niagara through local bars and restaurants.
Thanks to the support of the many amazing small business owners Decew Falls Brewing has grown and launched its own tap room with food menu and bottle and merch shop.
FACT: There are now 5 craft breweries in St. Catharines and the food and beverage segment continues to offer substantial promise, especially if linkages with tourism, culinary, cultural and the creative industries can be fostered.

Brewmaster James Woodruff, a graduate of the Niagara College brewing program, has a half-dozen beers available that are named after local historic people and places, including Morningstar Cream Ale, North Street Lager and Merritt’s Wheat Ale.
Head chef Danielle Snoeks has created a menu that pairs well with the beers and includes charcuterie boards, finger foods and handheld sandwiches.
Wishing James, Danielle and everyone at Decew Falls Brewing much success in St. Catharines. Cheers!
