Beverages
Butter Tart Liqueur
Silver Fox Distillery - Arthur
We all love butter tarts, right and with Arthur being a part of the Butter Tart trail Silver Fox Distillery decided to join in with the Great Canadian Butter Tart. Sweet with a hint of pecans, Butter Tart Liqueur is an adult favourite.
Butter Tart Beer
Strom's Farm and Bakery - Guelph/Eramosa with Four Fathers Brewing Co.
This buttery and sweet beer is mashed on mountains of grain and heaps of delicious Strom’s butter tarts. With vanilla, caramel, and lactose to add a soft velvety finish, we hope this beer reminds you of biting into the creamiest butter tart! Seasonal, while supplies last.
A Canadian Staple
Did you know Wellington County is home to the 'butter tart Queen' of Ontario? Helen Moffat, of Drayton, has been making butter tarts for nearly 60 years and was recently named Reserve Butter Tart Champion by Ontario Association of Agricultural Society.
