From the record
Summary
Pioneered combining craft brewing with visual art by cycling limited-edition artwork onto every can label. Hamilton brewery; flagship/current beer seed added.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
The Hamilton brewery that turned its labels into a rotating gallery — every can carries a different artist or musician, so the packaging is the point and the beer has to keep up. It does: eleven core beers running from a 2.9% micro pale ale to an 8% double IPA, and it is one of the few Canadian breweries that publishes an ABV for every single one.
Ownership & corporate history
- Subsidiary of Collective Arts LimitedMarch 2018
Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.
What the sources say
2025 offering document identifies Collective Arts Brewing Limited as a wholly owned subsidiary of Collective Arts Limited; Corporations Canada separately confirms active subsidiary identity.
Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.
Where it brewed
- 74 Grand Ave. S., Cambridge, ONCambridge, Ontario
