From the record

Summary

Destination Ontario profile; first-party deep catalogue required.

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

High rotation and experimental dark beer in Muskoka — cottage country, where most breweries would settle for a summer patio lager.

Ownership & corporate history

  1. Owned by Original Gravity Beverage + Hospitality Group2026

    Partly settledCurrent evidence supports this, but the record is not fully resolved.

    What the sources say

    Sawdust first-party history explicitly says the brewery is now owned and operated by Original Gravity.

Ownership history is kept as dated events, so a change of owner never overwrites the one before it.

Gravenhurst was a sawmill town, which is where the brewery's name comes from. The lone pine is the Group of Seven image of the Canadian Shield, and Muskoka is where they painted it.
