From the record

A farm-based hybrid producing world-class lagers, hazy IPAs, and their own craft spirits on rural acreage. Current first-party brewery/store; beer records kept separate from spirits.

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

Tally’s Take

Lager, hazy IPA and spirits on the same rural Ontario acreage. Farm-based production is the oldest model in brewing and one of the hardest to run now.
