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.

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.

  • "Fermentation may have been a greater discovery than fire."

    - David Rains Wallace

  • "It was as natural as eating and to me as necessary, and I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking...beer"

    - Ernest Hemmingway

  • "An honest brew makes its own friends."

    - John Molson

  • "Nothing ever tasted better than a cold beer on a beautiful afternoon with nothing to look forward to than more of the same."

    - Hugh Hood

  • "Drink good beer with good friends."
