From the record
Summary
A true estate brewery, cultivating and harvesting their own homegrown barley and hops right on the Canadian prairie. ⚠ Founding year disputed: this archive records 2011, the Manitoba compendium says 2014. Master. Farm / estate brewery. Farmery's official history states the Neepawa brewery officially opened September 25, 2016. The brand/business predates the physical brewery, so founded year here records the production brewery opening.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
They grow their own barley and hops on the Manitoba prairie. Estate brewing is claimed often and actually done almost nowhere.
