Our owner and brew-master comes from a family of brewers and bootleggers that goes back three generations. The current generation of brothers have over 45 years of brewing experience. Our vision is to craft traditional old-world beer styles that pay tribute to the early Canadians who built our nation’s foothold – Canada’s first capital city.
The playful dog on our logo brings together the past and the future of Kingston’s McBurney Park affectionately known as Skeleton Park. This centuries old park began its life as a burial ground for thousands of immigrant laborers. Today, the park is a vibrant downtown hub, enjoyed by locals who gather to play, skate, picnic, and sing, and to celebrate life. That, in a nutshell, defines our beer:
TRADITION. CELEBRATION. RESPECT
