ALWAYS WELCOME
The Lab gives you a window into our super secret brewing process. Grab a pint of fresh Category 12 beer and watch us work while you wait for your growler to be filled.
KEEPING IT LOCAL
We only source the very best ingredients, and all of our brewery equipment is Canadian-made by Specific Mechanical, located less than 1 km away from our brewhouse.
WE CARE TOO MUCH
We brew in small batches, just 30 kegs at a time. This gives us optimum control over our product and allows us to fine tune our recipes, ensuring the best beer.
