Beau's All Natural Brewing Co.
Vankleek Hill, Ontario, Canada · Est. 2006
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Employee-owned and certified organic, two hard commitments held for sixteen years, before merging with Steam Whistle in 2022 — itself an independent Canadian brewery. Reading that as a macro buyout inverts the story: this was two independents joining rather than one being absorbed.

Year-RoundLagered Ale
Fermented warm like an ale then lagered cold — a Kölsch approach, made certified organic, by an employee-owned brewery in a village of two thousand. Lug Tread carried all of that on its own.
