Tucked into the rolling countryside just outside of Orillia, Quayle’s Brewery in Oro-Medonte continues to prove that it is so much more than a brewery, it is a full seasonal experience. As spring stretches into summer, Quayle’s is once again becoming a go-to destination for locals and visitors looking to sip, shop, and savour something special.
Kicking off the season is the much-anticipated Outdoor Spring Market, returning for two weekends: May 2–3 and May 9–10. If you have been before, you already know this is not your average market. With over 50 artisan vendors each weekend, the property transforms into a vibrant hub of creativity and community. Think handcrafted goods, local art, unique gifts, and that unmistakable feeling of discovering something you did not know you needed. It is the kind of place where you can wander with a drink in hand, take your time, and truly enjoy the atmosphere.
And speaking of drinks, Quayle’s signature craft beer is always at the heart of the experience. Whether you are a fan of crisp lagers or something a little more adventurous, there is something on tap worth trying. Pair that with the reopening of their summer kitchen on April 30, and you have got yourself a full outing. Their award-winning smash burgers have built a bit of a cult following (for good reason), and their return just in time for market season feels like the unofficial start of summer.
Their karaoke and trivia nights have quietly become local favourites, drawing a mix of regulars and first-timers looking for a laid-back, social night out. Whether you are confidently taking the mic or just there for the laughs, karaoke nights bring a fun, no-pressure vibe, while trivia nights add a little friendly competition to the mix. It is the kind of atmosphere where you can gather a group, grab a pint, and settle in for an easy, entertaining evening that feels equal parts community and good fun.
Looking a little further ahead, Quayle’s is also giving you a reason to mark your calendar early. Their Father’s Day Comedy Night in June is already generating buzz, with tickets now on sale, and if history tells us anything, it will not take long for this one to sell out. It is the perfect excuse to plan something a little different this year: great beer, good food, and a night of laughter under the big tent.
What makes Quayle’s stand out isn’t just the events, it is the setting. Expansive fields, fresh country air, and a thoughtfully designed space that invites to connect and have fun. Whether you are heading out for the markets, grabbing a burger with friends, or planning ahead for a summer evening event on the patio or in the beer garden, it is one of those places that just feels like an escape.
This season, consider this your sign to make the drive or bike, bring a friend, and see what is brewing.
