Welcome to Ontario’s first estate craft brewery. We are a family owned and operated organic farm surround by lush Carolinian forest in the heart of Norfolk County.

Our goal, when you visit the farm, is to provide an authentic experience that will leave you enamoured with the unique area, the local people, and of course our beer. Come look for us in Ontario’s garden.

 

 

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Our annual January shutdown is in effect.  We’re closing for a few weeks for some much needed R&R.  We apologize for any inconvenience, but appreciate your understanding. We’ll let you know the reopening date as soon as possible. Cheers!

Estate Brewery

Our goal is to make beer on the farm from raw ingredients we’ve grown or forage for ourselves. Locally minded guests can sip on a variety of fermented libations that will whet the driest of whistles and satiate the greatest of thirsts.

Artisanal Food

On the farm we grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, which are used in the production of the organic seasonal fare you’ll enjoy as our guest, here, at the brewery.

Working Farm

We’ve been farming non-conventionally for seven years and believe our stewardship of the land, along with Norfolk’s unique terroir, is something that truly sets our products apart.

  • "An honest brew makes its own friends."
