Twin Oast Brewing has been ranked #4 Best Beer Garden in the United States in the 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards by USA Today’s USA Today 10Best.
The annual Readers’ Choice Awards highlight standout destinations across the country, with nominees selected by editors and winners determined through public voting.
Located on a working farm near the shores of Lake Erie, Twin Oast Brewing has become known for its expansive beer garden, orchard views, and welcoming outdoor atmosphere on Catawba Island.
The Twin Oast Brewing Beer Garden
From the beginning, Twin Oast Brewing was designed to be more than just a brewery. The goal was to create a destination where guests could enjoy craft beer, food, and the outdoors in a setting that reflects the agricultural heritage of the property.
Today, the Twin Oast Brewing beer garden stretches across open green spaces surrounded by orchards, wooded areas, and natural landscapes. Guests can relax at tables on the lawn near the brewery’s signature waterfall, gather around fire pits tucked into the trees, or settle in on the patio beneath the pergola, which opens to the summer air and transforms into a cozy enclosed dining space in the winter.
The brewery’s twin oast towers anchor the beer garden experience — one home to the Oast Bar and the other featuring a fire pit where guests can gather with a pint in hand. Together with outdoor seating throughout the property, the space offers a variety of ways to enjoy craft beer in a uniquely scenic setting on Catawba Island.
