Our Kichesippi Radler is back for a 5th year!!
This beer will start showing up on the shelves at grocery stores and LCBO stores next week. This year we are switching the can from a sleeved can to a traditional printed can. The beer inside is the same awesome refreshing liquid, it is just the outside of the can that will be improved.
We have made arrangements with the LCBO to keep this product listed and on the shelves until Labour Day.
After a very popular seasonal rotation last year, we have decided to brew our Remic Rapids IPA year round.
Our inspiration for this beer was the incredible rock sculptures that have been created along the shores of the Ottawa River since 1986. Local artist, John Felicè Ceprano builds these every year for the enjoyment of thousands of tourists and locals. This partnership with Ceprano, the NCC and Ottawa Tourism is definitely a hidden gem in our city.
The beer itself is brewed to be as balanced as these rock sculptures and fits in to the category of a West Coast IPA.

As of Friday February 9, 2018 we have officially sold our sister company, Harvey and Vern's Olde Fashioned Soda.
We first launched this brand back in May 2013 and have learned a lot about soda, pop, grocery stores, artisan cocktails and many other great experiences. We realized late in 2017 that we had taken these products as far as we could, and that new ownership was the proper decision.
Our goal from the beginning was to create a product that honoured two great men, Harvey Ross and Vernon MacDonald. Yes, Harvey and Vern were actually names of real people.
Harvey is my grandfather and was a farmer in Bristol, Quebec before passing away on Christmas day 1985.
Vern is my father in law and is an Optometrist originally from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Vern still enjoys the occasional soda while enjoying retirement in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
These two great men reminded us of tradition and authenticity, and these were the main attributes we hope were experienced with our products.
The new owners, are B2 Brands (Newport Gourmet Foods and Cousins Market) and they are based in Mississauga. They have been our Toronto distributor for the last 4 years and are very familiar with the brand. We wish them the best of luck with our sodas and know that they will do a great job.
In closing, thank you all so much for supporting our products. We have so many people to thank for the success of Harvey and Vern's and enjoyed working with all of you during this adventure.
Sincerely
Paul Meek

The Cheshire Cat in Carp have been a customer of ours since 2010 and doing a customer collaboration with them is something that we have been discussing for over a year now.
Owners Dustin and Crystal decided to brew a classic Pilsner, and our brewing crew were happy to oblige.
Cheshire Cat Pilsner is crisp, clean and perfectly balanced. This beer is now available in our brewery retail store and will soon be on tap exclusively at their pub.
