Tally's Take

Why this matters

Naughty Neighbour is the one that travels — a pale ale that became Burlington's export to every Ontario fridge — but the core range now runs to a lager, a sour, a dark and a pink lemonade beer, which is a brewery that grew up without getting boring. It also keeps a separate non-alcoholic line, which most breweries its size still treat as an afterthought.
